The beds are very old and one of the cleaning Lady took my niece underwears and her husband’s Tank top and food from their room, she did came an apologized but she Never returned the tank top ect as she said she would. It was addressed to the front desk and was never returned. We will Not be staying here again.

A small problem that can lead to big issue
We've stayed at Insel Fehmarn many times while in Samoa. Their 3rd-floor executive rooms are the best bang for the buck, in my opinion, and complimentary breakfast is always a delight. Yet, on this trip, when we stepped out for a quick breakfast, we left everything lying out (wallet, jewelry, passports, electronics, etc.) as we would check out right afterward. To our shock, as we approached our room, I noticed the cleaning lady three doors down from us and the doors next to our rooms slightly ajar. When we came to our door, it was also open. I presumed they came by to see if we'd checked out yet but saw everything inside and closed the door, yet it was still open. The good thing was that no one else went in there, and nothing was missing, but they didn't offer a "Do not Disturb" sign, and there was no way to advise them not to enter the room. This could have caused significant problems if someone else would have entered the room. Because we were in a rush, we didn't make a big deal about it, which can cause serious problems. I hope they implement some procedures that will keep their guest's property safe because leaving a door open isn't a simple mistake.

Good recovery
The room was missing a number of things when we checked in as the house cleaning forgot to replenish, but they got what we needed for our overnight stay as we were headed to the airport for an early flight. Looking forward to our return stay in a week.

Simple little gem
The superior room was a great place to stay. They rooms are very clean. Little things need maintenance like the outdoor balcony light flickered consistently like a disco, which i spoke to reception about but nothing was done during my seven day stay. Also towels were not replaced daily, which required me to ask for them to be replaced. The reception staff are friendly. As a 3 star place to stay it is nice choice for a reasonable price.

The only problem we had was the toilet would not flush. We live in American Samoa and very familiar with low water pressure and quirky toilets. This one did not work. Otherwise was very happy with our stay and will stay again

Very basic, but if you are in Apia / Upolu for sightseeing and need a base for exploring like I was - this hotel does the job. The smell inside the room was not great, but otherwise it was alright.

Service was not good. Not up to standard as last time. Phone not working, kitchen utensils missing, no iron and board. Service - asked for things and promised but never came through so had to remind multiple times. No blankets until day 2 and 3. Missed servicing my room… very bad.

We had two interconnecting rooms on the ground floor. The rooms were very large but dark and gloomy (had to have lights on during the day). Combine this with the awful decor and it felt a little like being in a cell block. Also being on the ground floor, the garden view was actually a view of the carpark. Having said that, apart from one rainy Sunday we didn’t spend much time in our rooms. Some of the beds were comfy and others were terrible. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and yummy and they changed it a little every day which was nice. Overall, good value for money in a great location. Would book here again but would choose a room on the first floor; hopefully they’re a bit brighter.

Under par - We had 3 rooms for 3 nights. Room facilities including linen are old, rooms poorly equipped ie no jug in the 2/3 rooms we booked & no coffee/tea. Had to wait upto 2hrs for a jug to be delivered to our room. This hotel needs an upgrade & needs to scale up their housekeeping staff, either delay in room being serviced or not serviced at all. staff in dining area polite and professional, although not so much the case for those at reception. Location is good - close to town & there’s a nice pizza plc across the road. We wont be staying here again:(

We’ve stayed at Insel in the past a few times. As usual the staff were great & restaurant staff were lovely - a few changes to our room request upon arrival were met with efficient assistance. Unfortunately, cleanliness in the room has dropped significantly. In 14 days we only had 2 services(one being declined as we were staying in for the day). There were a few issues in the room I tended to myself over our stay but in general, cleaning standards & processes need a major overhaul if they wish to retain returning guests.

I requested a Queen Superior room for my ill Dad who just got out of hospital and waiting for me & mum to take him back home to Australia. Our arrival to the hotel at 11pm was shocking, there was no bed sheets, no towels, no mirowave, no TV remote, no chairs for the tables, no pillows no Wifi or Internet, moles in the bathroom and shower, no kitchen facility or places and pots.. it was the worse thing to see my Dad being shafted into an unSafe room. Bad breakfast it looks like left-over breakfast, no clean water. MY FRIENDS I WILL NOT RECOMMENED THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE. Will not return to the hotel. Bad experience and really ashame the lack of service.
