I stayed at 'Tats' as it's affectionately known for 1 month in January. I was recommended to stay at Tats by several former medical students and they didn't lie- it definitely lived up to it's good reputation. The rooms are clean and fairly well sized with a toilet, shower & bar fridge. And importantly- they have airconditioning & ceiling fans... More

Sandra and her staff were very friendly and looked after us so well. It is very close to the hospital for me (medical student doing elective there), and only a 5tala taxi to restaurants and bars in town. Sandra was a wealth of information that helped us travel around the islands, and she really made us feel welcome. The room... More

Tatiana's Motel in Tanugamanono is definitely the best place to stay if you're planning to do a medical elective in Samoa. It's close to the hospital, and the air-conditioned rooms are a big bonus in the humidity of Samoa. I went with a couple of friends and we managed to get three people into one room - it was definitely... More

I stayed at Tatiana's for 3 amazing weeks. The room was large and well furnished with my own shower and sink, air con, fan, comfy bed and was always spotlessly clean. The communal area was nice and airy with toast, cereal and fruit always on offer. There is an extensive supply of books to borrow and access to the internet... More

Tatiana Motel is run by very friendly and helpful management. The staff are dedicated to making your stay easy and enjoyable. Sandra was available to help us book accommodation and rental cars at late notice, and made sure she found us the best prices in the country. The staff were happy to give us tips on tourist attractions and 'secret'... More

Outside the Tatiana, their sign reads 'your home in paradise', and that was exactly it. I stayed at the Tatiana for 8 weeks between July-September for my medical elective, and it was the most wonderful place I ever stayed. Papa, Brenda, Athene and Sandra made the motel the friendliest place I'd ever been to. They literally treat you like one... More

I stayed in Samoa for 8 weeks during summer 2012. In my opinion Tatiana is the best place to stay in Samoa! Great staff who will ALWAYS help you out (from tips on places to visit to booking a hire car for you) and a great location to walk to hospital (5 mins) or town (20 mins). Good breakfast is... More

Tatiana Motel was a great place to stay for my 8 week medical elective. The manager Sandra and her family go out of their way to make the guests feel welcome, and were a great help organising overnight trips away and vehicle rentals. As mentioned in other reviews I didn't have to pay for nights I stayed away e.g. on... More

Tatiana motel in Apia was so great that I would come back anytime. Me and my girlfriend were traveling around the world and we had heard that in Apia we should bunk in Tatiana. Rooms were very tidy although the beds were little too soft for my taste. The staff were most friendly and were always there if you needed... More

We were at Tatiana for 8 weeks and it was the perfect place to stay. The staff were lovely, rooms clean and tidy and the breakfast each morning delicious.
