It is worth booking if a central Apia location and responsive staff matter most and you can live with a basic bathroom. If price is your reason for choosing it, compare first, because our Best Value pick cost almost the same and scored higher.

Tauese Seaview Hotel is a four-star hotel in Apia. Guests give it 8.1 out of 10 from 181 reviews.
It suits travellers who want to walk to the cathedral, the government buildings and central Apia. Free parking is listed, which helps if you rent a car.
Skip it if bathroom quality matters a lot to you. Guests mention slippery tiles and poor ventilation. Also note that the name mentions a sea view, but views are not confirmed in our data, so ask if that is why you are booking.
Location and getting around
Location is the strong point, rated 9.4 out of 10 by guests. The Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Apia is about 0.1 km away, roughly 1 minute on foot. Falemata'aga is about 0.4 km away, around 5 minutes. Apia Park is about 1.6 km away, around 20 minutes on foot.
Reviews describe a central position near the cathedral and government buildings. All walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer.
What guests say
Guests like the central location and the staff. The team is described as friendly, polite and attentive, and quick to fix maintenance issues when they come up.
The recurring complaint is the bathroom. It is clean and has hot water, but the tiles can be slippery and ventilation is poor. Take care in the shower. Room size and noise have not been assessed in our data.
Price and how it compares with our other Apia picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) was about €128.47 per night for 2 adults in one room. That was just 1% below the sample median of €129.97. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
This is the key point. Our Best Value pick, Tanoa Tusitala Hotel, was about €129.97 per night with a score of 8.4, so only about €1.50 more for a better score. Our Luxury pick, Lava Hotel, was about €145.76 with a score of 8.5. All three are four-star hotels, and the prices are close.
Listed facilities include a restaurant, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and free parking. A buffet breakfast is listed. Whether breakfast is in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
Only 3 eligible hotels were compared in Apia, a small sample. By score, Tauese Seaview ranks joint third of three. It took the Budget slot because it had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside. In Apia that saving was small.
Before you book
Compare today's price with Tanoa Tusitala Hotel, since the difference was tiny. Ask whether rooms have a sea view if that matters. Confirm whether breakfast is included, and check the cancellation terms.
