This is the perfect room for a lovely stay downtown. It is not too far from restaurants or the pier. It is a very clean room and the staff are excellent. The hotel itself is a bit run down, but it has a San Francisco charm and the room itself is comfortable.

Broken furniture in room. Shower missing one of the doors. All soap dishes were snapped off the walls and holes remained. Bathroom floor was dirty under the vanity and around the parameters of the room. Kitchenette with no dishes, cups, or utensils. No dish soap or dish towels. Linens were poor quality. Pillows smelled musty. The AC was turned off in our room when we got there. It was extremely hot and took several hours to cool. Needless to say, we did not have a comfortable sleep that night.

The staff were very courteous and helpful, however when booking it appeared that there was a restaurant and bar, there is not. The hotel itself probably used to be quite nice but it’s run down and in serious need of renovation. It seems clean, but with baseboards falling off it makes it look kind of grungy. It was only one night, and given the relative price, I’d still say it was worth it. The location is convenient.

The room could definitely use an update. Holes being patched in the wall but not finished, the tv had very little options. We don’t understand the shower door because it looks like it was designed not to close all the way, so the floor gets wet. But the most frustrating part was the kitchenette that had nothing included. A sink, but no microwave or dishes, so it was basically useless. The room did have a fridge, working air conditioner, was clean, and the proximity to the airport and town were great.

We chose this hotel for a one night stay after a cruise. It was a “budget” hotel close to the wharf. We had a room where the AC was broken, and they moved us to a new room right away. The breakfast was nice and served very efficiently by great Tahitian staff.
Not a bad place to stay for one night.

Unfortunately the room i paid for with a queen bed was not given. The hotel attendant who greeted us on the 20th of October said we had to pay more even though i paid initially upon booking. He was not helpful, he put us in a room by the emergency staircase where the staff would stand outside a look into our room especially at night. The lock on the window in our room was broken making it easy for someone to gain access. The room shower and sink were damaged. What was meant to be an amazing bitthday trip turned into a big disappointment. The bed sheets were not changed at all, the smell on the sheets initially was stale and lipstick marks were visable on the pillow cases. I was very upset that our room was changed and my initial room at booking was not given. Strange men and women kept standing on the emergency staircase looking in which made us feel very unsafe and hotel staff were disinterested in all our dealings.

Convenient location but not a great area. Luckily we had a room with a good view but the room itself was shabby, paint marked and peeling, floorboards loose and floor slopped. Shower didn't have hot water consistently. Wifi consistent and bed comfy. Is definitely a place to only spend a night or two before further travel.

However, the location is on the edge of the port/tourist area of Papeete so it's a 10 minute walk to the central area for shops and eateries. There was no balcony or swimming pool which are not expected at this price point.
