I stayed here with a friend for nearly a month as part of work experience at the local hospital. The lodge attracts a young crowd and although the dogs may give you some grief to begin with (dog-o-phobes may want to go elsewhere), they warm up to you eventually. Yes you stay in the basement but so long as the... More

I stayed at Colonial Lodge three times while in Suva in April 2012, between trips to other islands, and loved it. Yes, it is simple and I had a slight disagreement with one of the resident dogs (people who are afraid of dogs might want to stay somewhere else) but I had a great time. The owner is lovely and...

After I read some reviews on tripadvisor, I stayed in the lodge. Honestly, this hostel was better than I had expected. The owner was friendly and breakfast was very good (maybe the best I had in Fiji!) The downside is, the guest rooms are located in the basement and you may hear footsteps over your head when you are lying... More

After staying at CL for longer than a month time at the beginning of my Internship in Suva Autumn, 2012 I just want to say a few supporting words. Being new in town with little experience of neither the country or Suva, CL is a great place to go to. You can get advices for everything and no subject is... More

backpackers. Though my room was spacious and had ensuite-bathroom, it was dark and stuffy. The plumbing is in sad need of repair - I could not have a proper shower. In the "kitchenette" (it is not much more than an extra sink) the pipes were dripping non-stop. The floors were clean, but there were dirty mats everywhere - I removed... More

I stayed here for a few days on a gap year back in 2009. It is a typical gap year/traveller bunk house, but is a great place to stay with everything you need either a quick shout or a short walk away. Good value for money, fond memories.

The Colonial Lodge is a great place to stay in case you want to visit Suva or get the ferry to Taveuni or Savusavu the next day. It's a homestay so the owner and their family life in the same house... I stayed there in 2006 and found it very cosy. The owners are lovely especially the old grandpa. In... More

Have stayed there for 6 weeks and absolutely loved it. Colonial lodge is more like a home stay to the young travelers like myself. Working in Suva I found it perfect as I felt really comfortable and welcome here. The rooms are not big but clean and cozy offering a nice night sleep. There are several showers with hot and... More

I really enjoy my stay on colonial lodge, loads of young nice people and really plesent staff, its really near Suva center and we could do everything just by walking.
