I like boutique hotels and this establishment follows those sort of lines - historical artefacts, antique furniture and photos showcasing the local Apia history dating back 100 years and more. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was nicely presented.

I enjoyed my stay at the Samoan Outrigger Hotel very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful in all regards, offering suggestions on visiting area of the island. Cable or satellite television would be the only upgrade I would recommend. I will certainly visit the hotel again in the future.
