The Emerald Hotel was a lovely place to stay. Those who worked there were so kind and friendly. We loved our stay. A special thanks to Nai on the reception.

The staff, including the restaurant are excellent. I can't say enough of the warm hospitality that was offered me throughout my 2 week stay. The hotel is well situated to lively nightime food options, walking along the waterfront, and close to town. The hotel is a little tired, but it also had its charm. Do yourself a favour and book one of the rooms facing the water - evenings on the patio taking in the ambiance are well worth the few extra $$ (versus a room with no balcony). Will definately go back to the Emerald. Thanks to the staff - wonderful!

Pretty good the staff was nice they help very well. Breakfast was good. Definitely will book it again. You get what you pay for it’s not a 5 star hotel. I was pretty much out all day. You need somewhere to lay your head and enjoy The views of Tonga.

3-star at best and that's being generous. The walls are not insulated from noise. Old outdated furnishing, pillow cases seemed clean, but stained, sheets torn in places, ceiling, walls and wood trim peeling in places, bathroom fan didn't work, towels felt like sandpaper, strong smell of disinfectant, TV was broken, they couldn't fix it and wouldn't replace it, just said "oh well," sketchy wifi, but nice staff-Nai is awesome, good AC and close to the ocean. You could do better with a different hotel, one that actually provides the services that it advertises.

I was disappointed with my stay at the Emerald hotel. The cost was fairly expensive compared with staying in NZ…but the room, service and breakfast were poor. The bathroom was not clean…towels were grubby…towels were not in the room when arriving after midnight nor was milk for a cup of tea. Floor in shower was dangerously slippery for elderly folks. Tv took 30 minutes to connect and get going…next night it did not go again as it was not explained a different tuning was needed. Communication on many such points was poor or non existent. The continental breakfast was poor…2 pieces of white toast lump of jam. 2 pieces of fruit. 2 boiled eggs….EVERY DAY…not good for competitive athletes…no cook to provide alternatives. Office lady was friendly and helped carry heavy bag upstairs.

Booked the suite with my husband. The space is great with a nice big studio rokm with a couch. Balcony was large and had table and chairs for 4. These may be the only positives. The bathroom was filthy, hair left in the bathroom, the drain cover left strewn on the floor, toilet seat was too small for the toilet bowl it was literally wobbling off. Kitchenette area was sticky not wiped down from previous guests. Only provided coffee mugs, no drinking glasses. When we went down to request glasses the staff member said we couldnt have glasses and made us purchase disposable plastic cups? Charging your inhouse guests for something that should be in the room already is crazy, especially after booking your most expensive room. Continental Breakfast in the morning was great. With a lovely attentive local staff member working. Great customer service from her.

The staff were excellent but the room was not too great. TV was cracked and unusable. Tea and coffee facilities but no bottled water or milk provided. Restaurant good and breakfast pleasant. No sleep possible firstly due to there being a karaoke session from a nearby place that finally ended at 615am. Then loud talking and laughing in the corridor and adjacent room. Will not stay here again.
