Vuna rd, Tongatapu, Nuku‘alofa, Tonga –

The rates were reasonable for business travellers. The beds were great. Great rooms to come back to after a hard day at work.

William, Australia

The Tongan staff were amazing. Easy central location across the road from the bus station.

Nicola, New Zealand

Staff was very friendly always helpful, great breakfast to start the day off.

Jane, New Zealand

The location is good with walking distance to town center. The staff was very good- The WIFI with my own 3G router was excellent. The room was fairly big with a sea view and a good bed. In the room was also a desk were you could connect the laptop.

Kjell-åke, Sweden

The GM Teki has allowed me to stay up to 7pm because my flight is scheduled at 9pm.I only paid for the extension of my stay up to 4pm...that's what I called going a mile for the customer! Surely I will stay in this hotel next time...malo! :)

Ferdinand, New Zealand

Friendly staff, open 24 hours, right across from the beachfront and not too far from the city centre

Chris, Australia

Air conditioning in the room 👌👌beds were always made and were very comfortable. Breakfast was included with room and was a bonus for us. 👍

Miriam, Australia

This is our 2nd time staying at the Emerald. We always enjoy staying here, the rooms are very spacious, beds comfortable, close to the city, staff are friendly.

Okalani, New Zealand

Very friendly staff, exceeded our expectations, cleaned our rooms daily, very convenient with restaurant at the ground floor. Except for the lady at the reception area who lacked valuable customer service skills. Vahe showed excellent customer service skills aswell at the restaurant and food was perfect.

Jodie, Australia

The friendliness of staff and service was awesome 👏 but I loved mostly the airconditioned room cos it enabled my granddaughter to sleep well through the heat and of cause kept us all cool always.

“Overall always enjoy our stay at The Emerald and will definately be back!”

The only thing I would probably change is the breakfast service. We weren't able to order anything off the menu as we were told the chiefs hadn't arrived. It would be nice if the chefs were present from the start of breakfast so that people can order other food off the menu eg. bacon, scrambled eggs etc.. We had kids there too and weren't offered cereal which was part of the breakfast. I had to ask for it and there was only 1 choice. Would be good to have more than 1 choice.
This is our 2nd time staying at the Emerald. We always enjoy staying here, the rooms are very spacious, beds comfortable, close to the city, staff are friendly.

If there was anything I disliked it was that the towels weren’t renewed or changed daily and no face washers. Other than this minor issue I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Emerald Hotel.

The service was first class. We had issues with our toilet, which was corrected almost immediately. The staff were always friendly and very helpful. Extremely well maintained hotel with wonderful restaurant on site. Complimentary breakfast was a delight (fresh fruit, toast with butter and jam, eggs and drinks. It was light and exactly what was needed to start the day. Appreciated the air conditioning especially after being out in the heat, it was great to come back and relax in the cool.
