Breakfast every day was great. Choice of cereal, toast, coffee, eggs, sausages, bacon and a fruit platter. I stayed here for 11 nights in April 2024. My plan was to use it as a base and do day trips and explore Nadi. There are nearby bars, restaurants for coffees, diners, beers etc. I spent a lot of time at Smugglers. Wailoaloa Beach is only a minutes walk away. The bus for day trips picks you up outside and drops you to Denarau Port to go to the islands day tripping. I recommend Malamala Island. Nadi is only 10 mins by taxi. Denarau 15 mins. Staff at Ideal were great. Very friendly and welcoming. Big thankyou to Sala, Emma, Knox ( breakfast cook ) for making me feel so welcomed. I would certainly stay again. Also banana smoothies at Ramada were excellent. Shop 2 mins walk for essentials and bike hire next to that.

No complaints. AC worked a treat and the bed was comfortable.

The staff were nice. Big room. The shower rooms were big and REALLY clean. Facilities were a bit old but good. Lovely breakfast and afternoon tea.

There was enough space in my room if there were a table, chair and wardrobe, would be perfect. WiFi doesn't work in any rooms and the night even outside.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful the entire staff were. From the moment I arrived I was greeted with a warm “welcome home” and treated as though I was part of their family. They went above and beyond to accommodate food preferences/allergies and even baked special gluten free bread for another guest. On Sunday we were treated to a special Sunday lunch which was a wonderful surprise. They took care of booking transportation for me to my next destination along with organizing day trips around Nadi. Overall, a very wonderful time at Ideal Bed & Breakfast and I would definitely stay there again!

The staff is super friendly and helpful, both with advice and with booking things to do in Fiji. Always up for a chat, too. I really enjoyed it and can wholeheartedly recommend the place. Everything was clean, bathrooms were in good condition, and the breakfast was very nice (usually an omelette, fruit, cereal, and sometimes bacon and sausage.) Dormitory has 2 bunk beds so it's not too crowded. Plenty of space for luggage.

WiFi was a bit hit and miss. When it was working, it was good, but every now and then it just cut out until someone restarted the access point. It also doesn't reach all the rooms. The dormitory is close to the community area, so if people decide to have a noisy chat until late at night some headphones or earplugs might be helpful.

Every single staff member was super friendly and welcoming. The location is great - near the airport and the beach is just a few mins walk away. The beach is not one of those pristine white beaches one might associate with Fiji, but still a good place to take a dip or just stroll along. There are quite a few hotels and bars/restaurants around as well as a supermarket and a noce cafe/restaurant above. The breakfast was delicious (fruits, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast) and complimentary afternoon tea was a nice surprise. On Sundays the hostel offers a complimentary lunch to all guests which was a great way to spend some time with other travelers and enjoy local cuisine. I had the single room and a small balcony attached to it. The common areas were clean, spacious and comfortable.

Water pressure in the shower was very weak. Planes taking off very late in the evening/at night disturbed sleep a bit.

The room was simple but clean with plenty of space, a huge bed and reliable air conditioning. Traveling alone, I felt very safe at The Ideal with a lockable room. Shower and toilet facilities were kept fastidiously clean and the water pressure was faultless with plenty of hot water. The staff were honestly brilliant - they were always smiling and asked if things were okay and if they could do anything to make the stay more comfortable. Breakfast each morning was also fabulous - fresh fruit, cereal, coffee or tea followed by toast and eggs however you like them. The omelette was especially good! They served afternoon tea with homemade cakes and traditional sweet treats every day. On Sunday, they prepared a delicious lunch for guests from fresh, local ingredients. There's a grocery store only 150m down the road, and in the other direction, you have easy access to the beach and all the restaurants associated with the hotels. The Ideal is perfect for travellers who are out and about during the day but need somewhere comfortable and clean to spend the night. I felt it was excellent value for money!

We had the occasional power outage but this was no fault of the accommodation or staff. They would put out candles and incense to keep the mosquitos away. Just make sure to bring along a head torch! There was a comfortable terrace area where you can access the WiFi. If you need access to the internet in your room then I'd recommend getting a SIM card at the airport.

Wonderful family run B & B located in a fantastic area 100 metres from the beach and nightlife! You are lovingly welcomed by Aunty Emma, Knox, JJ, Mary and Ru with Anna and all the team creating a great atmosphere for you to enjoy beautiful Fiji. Best breakfast prepared any way you like, including eggs, seasonal fruits, bacon and sausages. Clean, large rooms with air con - excellent value for money. Personal service you will not receive from larger, more expensive stays. Impromptu lunches and dinners are lovingly prepared as an extra touch for all guests to enjoy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The staff were so welcoming and always available to give advice, have a chat, or take you along for an adventure - we went into town together to see the local haunts, but other had gone on hikes etc. They’ll also help you out for airport transfers and the like, just using their vehicle, for a small fee. The facilities are basic but clean, and the provided breakfast was substantial, with the staff able to switch it up a bit on request.

The beach itself is not the quintessential Fijian beach, as the main island has a lot of mangroves, but is great for walking down and has a couple of restaurants along the sand at other hotels.

The location was handy, especially for day tours departing from Port Denarau, as they usually had a free pick-up service from just down the road at Ramada (1 minute walk away). There are plenty of other accommodations in the area, so plenty of restaurants to choose from. There's a small grocery store about 4 minute walk away, and across the road from that is a taxi stand. I stayed here twice, and the first time I had a single room, second time I was upgraded to a double. The basic rooms just include a bed, a bedside table and air con. The rooms are not soundproof, and conversations held in the common areas, and kitchen, could easily be heard. Not usually an issue unless there are super-loud guests. Breakfast in the mornings was such an added bonus. Fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal and toast were on offer, as well as tea & coffee. If I timed it right, I didn't even need lunch. The staff are amazing. Beautiful Emily with her big smile and attention to detail when servicing the rooms; Ty, the handyman who is born of fire, and my hero for relocating a spider I was uncomfortable with; Cheeky Nox, the chef, the doctor, the magician, the DJ and all round general entertainment coordinator; all led by the lovely Aunty Emma, who is intent on ensuring her guests are happy, comfortable and enjoy their stay. I was welcomed like part of the family, and I was very sad to say goodbye when I had to leave. What a fantastic team and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

The property could use some big upgrades (such as ceiling fans in common areas) which I believe the team are working on. A bit more of a focus on organising day trips/tours for guests with reasonable pricing.

Very friendly family run business. It was a very casual environment. Vera and Will were great company during transfers and they also do the local tours. Aircon and the fan worked well in the dorm room to make it comfortable for sleeping. I had omelettes every morning as the vegetarian free breakfast and I really liked them. Sunday free "family lunch" was very nice - fish was the main dish but i had the yuca and the tarot leaf/egg dish and that was good.

I forgot to bring ear plugs and the dorm room is close to the common area which was loud for a couple hours on a Friday night, otherwise no noise
