We were not planning on staying at the International Dateline Hotel but when we arrive in the country and went to our original accommodation and know one was there our taxi driver offered to take us to the dateline. We knew we would only be there for 1 night so chose the standard room and found it to be adequate.... more

After booking my accommodation late, I decided to stay at the International Dateline Hotel. The initial view of the hotel is very promising with a beautiful marble floor lobby and interior. However, further into the hotel, it’s age begins to show. I was staying in a deluxe or executive double room (not too sure now of the type) the room... more

I recently stayed here whilst attending a conference. The hotel foyer gives the impression of a clean, modern hotel but my bedroom was pretty grim......no shower curtain and just a single, discoloured towel. The breakfast was very poor and is nto be recommended. I understand that this hotel is partly owned by the Chinese government......which is no real surprise. To... more

Generally everything was fine for a quick stay, but pricey. This time however I was there for 3 nights and with... more

As a travel agent I stayed in this hotel overnight while visiting Nuku'alofa I stayed in a room on the 1st floor that overlooked the pool side of the complex. I think it will have been a deluxe superior room. On first impression the hotel was fine. Reception and public areas were clean and tidy and really spacious. However, the... more

It was sad, dirty, and with no service but it was the only hotel in nukualofa, so, no choice!!! more

Dear Prospective Travellers The International Dateline Hotel is certainly the largest and most imposing hotel in Nuku'Alofa Tonga. I recently was booked to stay there for about 10 days through my business. I paid 220 Pa'anga per night and the hotel was mostly empty of guests. In general, the staff members were friendly and willing to help although you have... more
