Hotel in Central Nadi

Any suggestions for a mid range hotel in Central Nadi. The guidebooks offer vague (if any) descriptions only.

Don't know any, but most people do not stay in Nadi town itself. It is semi-sleasy. Try the Gateway across from the airport, or the couple on the way to Nadi town, it's only a short cab ride.

Thank you Raro! I'm aware that Nadi is not the pearl of the Pacific, but I prefer some urbanity instead of a nice, but isolated location like a hotel around the airport I had several years ago during a stopover in Fiji.

Well, I can understand that. But if so, spend a little more, as the cheapest ones will definitely be pretty sleazy. Security at night can be a concern, watch out for doors that don't lock on your room, etc. And carry valuables with you.

Is there any mid range accommodation in central Nadi? I've only ever seen backpacker hostels.

I don't recall any midrange hotels in central Nadi, not that 'central' is all that large, and urbanity is not something Nadi has.

If you're seeking urbanity in even a small dose, it would be better to go stay in Lautoka. In all respects Lautoka is a more interesting place than Nadi. Better lower end accom there as well.

In Nadi, there's an OK guesthouse/hotel across the street from the market/busstop, which might be the best overall option in nadi.

I've found this place and another one called "Nadi Hotel" (no website). Any recommendations?

Most of the hotels are near the airport, not downtown. I paid about $60 US at the Mocambo 2 years go. The room was old looking but large. The view was spectacular. A taxi to downtown is cheap. They also have a free shuttle to the airport.

I remember having a look up at the temple and it was in probably what you might say was a cleaner end of Nadi - that SanBruno doesn't look too bad on their site but cannot recall seeing it near the temple, but then I wasn't looking.
Another place halfway between Nadi and Airport is Nomads Skylodge you'll find on [BUG|bugpacific.com].
And it is in superb grounds and all units looked neat and tidy.
