Clean room, centrally located, comfortable bed. It’s on a very loud street and it was difficult to fall asleep because of all the noise coming from the street.

This is a very convenient place to stay within the downtown area of Pepeete. It is across the street from the area where the cruise ships dock. The staff were very professional, efficient, and helpful.

Our room was small and fairly standard, with a window. There is some street noise, but it didn't really bother us. The king bed was very comfortable. This is not a fancy hotel, but very safe.

We booked through Expedia, which indicated that our booking included a breakfast. However, when we checked in, we were told we were not eligible for this since we booked through Expedia. It would be an additional $33. We opted to eat down the street.

What we missed most was an electrical outlet. There were none in the bathroom, and we didn't find any in the room. There was a USB plugin in the lamp for charging phones. In general, we found no American style electric outlets, and would certainly travel with an adapter next time.

Room was clean, we were able to get into the room earlier than regular time. There was water in the fridge and that was appreciated. Great that we could store our luggage prior to going to the room and after we had checked out as we had 2-3 hours before we could check into our cruise ship. The toilet was a little strange as it was very high off the floor. I am 5foot 9 inches tall and when I sat on the seat, my feet were about 5 inches off the floor. Never had that experience before (lol). My wife is shorter than me. She almost needed a boost to get on . Despite that, we would stay again. Room was quiet despite that we were right downtown.

The staff at the Mai Tai Express Hotel were very friendly and accommodating. They quickly called taxis for us when needed, and had a luggage storage room. The room is not large, but is adequate in size with a generous bathroom and nice shower. There was a room safe, electric teapot and refrigerator.

The breakfast was expensive for what it is, and there are many close by options for less than the $32 a person.

The bed was VERY comfortable and the room was very quiet. The location was excellent being in walking distance of the cruise terminal, shopping mall, and good restaurants and coffee shops.

We stayed there before and after our cruise, and would stay there again.

Positives are: Excellent location, right in the centre of Papeete. Great bed, Friendly staff.
Negatives are: Far too expensive, especially the Hotel continental breakfast at a ridiculous price of the equivalent of $30 US per person. It would be worth $10 US. The hot water pressure is very weak and there’s hardly any power sockets. We were told some story about them not wanting to make holes in the old building. Um it’s a hotel in 2025 and guests expect power sockets especially if they have medical equipment. Having said that it’s a clean and pleasant hotel,

We stayed here one night. It is right across the street from the cruise dock. It is in a very convenient location. The standard room was extremely small. There was no place to put luggage and there was no luggage rack. We had to put our luggage under a built in desk. Very few accessible electrical outlets. One plus was a washer and dryer that was free and if you didn't bring detergent you could purchase it at the front desk. I have to add I couldn't figure out how to run the washing machine and needed help from a hotel employee.

Beautiful boutique hotel in downtown Pape’ete. Perhaps the best one there. I stayed in the one bedroom suite at the harbor end of my floor, which had a balcony off the front sitting area. I slept on the sofa and noticed that traffic noise started building by 4:30 am. The bedroom was removed from the noise, so likely no one else will be bothered by it.

Great transit hotel

The hotel is very convenient to downtown Papeete and across the street from the cruise terminal. We stayed one night between our flight from US and early morning flight next day to Bora Bora.
We stayed again 2 weeks later after exiting our Paul Gauguin cruise before flying home.
It is just a few blocks walk to the Market.

not the best experience

The elevator was incredibly slow.
The room was sparse and I had to unplug a light as there was no other outlet.
The initial key didn't work, so I had to take the elevator to get a new key.

Worst was that they charged my card a day before I arrived at the property (not my experience with Hotels.com reservations \"pay at the property\"). The credit card flagged it as fraud and not recognizing the charge, I agreed with the resulting hassle of having a new card issued

Nicely located, a few minutes walk from the cruise terminal, the market and shopping areas. Friendly and helpful stall, very clean and an excellent bed & lining. Super convenient for a short stay en route to the islands.

When we first arrived we were downgraded from our suite to a standard room due to technical difficulties/leak in the room. We were very upset as they seemed to assign the room in advance and rather than giving us another suite they downgraded. After speaking with the manager who seemed somewhat indifferent at first finally came around and compensated us the difference of what we had paid and what the standard room was at the time of booking. They rectified the situation in the end but not without hesitation. We were happy they tried to fix the situation more fairly.

The stylish Maitai Express Tahiti hotel is an excellent base for exploring the island and for catching the ferries to visit the other islands of French Polynesia. The room was comfortable and the staff friendly and efficient.

Nice property but very loud at night, there is a bar/club next to hotel and on weekends it stays busy and loud until after 2am. Everything else about the hotel is good and the staff is very friendly. Rooms are good with great air conditioning. If I stayed there again I would ask for a room on opposite side of building to eliminate loudness

We arrived very late and they were up waiting for us . Easy check in and it was a comfortable room for 2 of us it would be tight with 4 which is what it says it sleeps maybe 3 people at most the sleeper sofa is just that a sleeper sofa so not really like a real mattress but after that long of a flight I fell right asleep as soon as I played down, so over all the room was great with that one exception that a fold out sleeper sofa isn’t really that great at any hotel… the linens were clean. They had a little coffee set up in the morning in the room has a nice shower. I think you can buy some sort of continental breakfast for US$35 we opted not to do that and as we were leaving the hotel, I think that was a good option to not do that.. the second you leave the hotel you were on a very busy street however, once you cross that very busy street you’re less than five minutes from the ferry terminal which took us to Moorea FP

Very nice hotel in the center of town with a friendly staff. The hotel is itself is very clean and updated. Bed was very hard though and the room was small. The area around the hotel is very run down and parking is difficult. For us it was perfect because the ferry terminal is across the street. For an extra $30 a day you can have secure parking a few blocks away but is very inconvenient.

Hotel was very clean and rooms are specious. Staff very friendly and professional. Good location especially for Ferry passengers. Cons: location comes with noise of traffic and city life :(. Overall it was ok for 1 night stay during transfer between islands.

Service was exceptional- especially liked that there was no charge for them to store your luggage and they recommended a great local breakfast restaurant if you didn’t pay for their limited continental. (Cafe Roti). Can beat the location if accessing the cruise terminal.
