had rung the day before to book a room at the waterfront only to come in the next day to find out they had booked the room out for someone else, very annoying...was given an upgrade for the same price but what seemed weird was that the $190 rooms was a lot better than the $260 rooms and they had...

We looked around at what was available within walking distance around what seemed to be central Nuku'alofa and decided to stay here. Property is fairly dated and in process of liquidation, but when you put on the scales what you get for the money you pay it is still the best choice we were able to find in Nuku'alofa. On... More

We stayed for ten days and had a really lovely holiday here. Although the hotel is in need of renovations, our room was lovely with beautiful sea and garden views. The staff are very attentive and in particular, the New Zealand manager went out of his way to assist us during our stay and seemed to work 24/7. Any time... More

I was the maid of honour and my aunty booked the bride and her bridesmaids into the dateline to get ready the night before the wedding. 1) We were placed in 3 different rooms spread right across the hotel when we asked to be placed together the lady told us they were fully booked. We explained that the hairdresser and... More

I spent ten days at the International Dateline Hotel in November while on a business trip to Nuku'alofa. Although the hotel is dated and in receivership, my prolonged stay at the hotel was very pleasant. I was collected at the international airport upon my arrival at the ungodly hour of 4 am by a friendly and chatty hotel driver -... More

The International Dateline is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in - and I have travelled through Asia and Africa. It is dirty, run down and operated by rude staff. I arrived well after check in time to be told my pre-booked room was not ready. I complained and was told by a surly reception girl to "come back... More

I arrived into the mainland of Tongatapu on the 06/08/11 for 3 nights after spending 4 nights in Vava'u, I had booked to stay at the International Dateline Hotel over the internet at TOP 115.00 per night including tax. B/fast wasn't included. First of all when I arrived at Tongatapu domestic airport from Vava'u I managed to share a taxi... More

I transferred to the IDH from a guest house a bit out of town (a km north) which I had booked believing Tonga websites that it had a operational restaurant and, yes, I did expect AC in the room as Tonga has a humid climate. It did not and it turned out too far to walk down to the waterfront... More

At one time I could see that this was a nice and happening place. Not so much anymore. The best part of the hotel is that it is located directly across from a nice place to swim in the ocean and meet some of the local lads. Other than that there is not much to recommend it. The service is... More
