I stayed for a week on business. The hotel is about 20 years old, of Taiwanese construction. Of its time, probably around mid range for a Western hotel. Upstairs rooms have fantastic view over lagoon and are large. I had good air con and a CAT5 connection at slow broadband speeds. Fitout very tired: fridge was bigger than bar size... More

As others may have said this is the only hotel in Funafuti, and I think it's great. The rooms are comfortable if not very new, not so much decoration but it's ok because you have the view of the lagoon. That's why we came here : lagoon, palm trees, beaches and almost no tourist, can't ask for more. The staff... More

Visitors to Tuvalu are limited in choice and as this is the only hotel in town (I think there are a couple of guesthouses), this is it. The location is nice. Literally a 2 minute walk from the airport (and the bank, and the government building). It's a small town anyway so nothing is really far away and you can... More

It's on the water, has internet and has nice staff when you take the time with them. So, there's some down sides: the thin mattresses on hard bases, the lack of hot water (or any water before the maintenance guy in the morning comes if they're busy) and a limited menu, but if these are an issue, you're probably in...

I stayed nearly a week at the hotel. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Hotel itself was built in 1993, and although relatively clean definately needs some maintenance. There are running showers but no hot water. Beds are hard as a rock, but rooms are cooled with a/c. Breakfast is simple but adequate. They will cook omlets for breakfast upon... More

The Vaiaku Lagi Hotel is good, though I found much difficulty in spelling its name initially. The well maintained hotel is a nice place to stay. I stayed with my wife for a couple of days. The rooms were spacious and clean. Our gorgeous room overlooked the lagoon. It had nice beds, a refrigerator, a mini bar and a coffee... More

The hotel is well run, spotless, and just 100 metres from the airport. The rooms were roomy. Go for an upstairs one. There are 18 rooms in total. When we were there, just one other room occupied - a sign of how few tourists make it. During our week there, the PM held a reception, there was a cultural/dancing/singing night/... More

We were aware that Tuvalu has around 150 tourists a year and is not really set up for tourists. The view from our upstairs room was magnificent as we overlooked the lagoon. We did have a bar fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom has hot and cold water taps however the hot water has never been connected... More
