Vanuatu is very expensive and this was the cheapest place I could find and in a great location. We were in the dorms for $18/pp/night. Amazing location, in the middle of everything, opposite the market for fresh food and a supermarket. Lots of tour companies around. The dorm fits 8, has a fan, one toilet/shower between all which could be... More

Room with bathroom and fan for 4,800 Vt (Room 103). This lonely planet hotel is located in front of the city market. The place is not a resort, however, the room even simple was clean and comfortable. City lodge is ideal if you are travelling around Vanuatu and you have one or two days in Vila. To get there from...

City lodge has cheap rooms just opposite to the fruit and vegetable market. The room I had was just perfect - it was small but clean and had everything I needed. I spent there 10 days and the room was cleaned every second day. During my permanence, it happend only once that the staff put some loud music in the... More

Accomodation is pretty expensive in Port Vila - if you are looking for somewhere on the cheap side to stay and you are not worried about a lot of atmosphere or character, then this is a good option. The room is basic. Just a bed really (also a TV, which we did not bother to even try) small bathroom which... More

What could you really expect when you are paying such a minimal amount each night? For what we paid, I think it was great value. The location was convenient being close to the supermarket and right in the heart of Villa and we found the rooms, though simple, to be comfortable. The common room was untidy, with other travellers leaving... More

Don't be fooled by the smart-looking photos on their website. There might be one or two bits of modern furniture, but overall this place is dire. It's dirty and rundown, staff were less than helpful (notable in as friendly a place as Vanuatu!), there was an ant colony marching up the bathroom wall, and we weren't game to use the... More

I stayed at the City Lodge for 1 night on my way from Tanna to Noumea. The location is brilliant right in the center of Port Vila. The market, taxi stand and a supermarket is across the street. A couple of restaurants and bars are nearby. Reception staff was friendly and helpful. Wifi only worked at reception area, but that... More
