Apia - accomodation tip

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa

Am looking for the cheapest accomodation in Apia. Does anybody here have some quick tip?

Will stay for ten days with girlfriend and baby - thankyou.

Valentine's Motel is very cheap, but still clean.
Also very near the centre.

It's too bad Seipepa is now closed.... It was by far the cheapest option... It was also Swedish/Samoan ran and there was Lingonberry jam for breakfast, Swedish books in the library and a Swedish flag fluttering in the breeze... I think one morning the young girl was dressed up to look like Pippy Longstocking as well....at least her hair was. All that was missing was a sauna and some snow....Not very Samoan, but it was an interesting cultural mix and it appealed to Swedish (and all) budget travellers.

Greg, I think last year Seipapa was already quite a bit more expensive than Valentine's, which charged 25 Tala/person.
I don't think there can be places really cheaper than that, yet it's clean and modern.

Another place that comes to mind is Betty Moore's Guesthouse.

Prices in Samoa, like Fiji, seem to be jumping upwards since this winter.
