The cabins are part of the bigger hotel. The hotel is lovely with a popular rooftop bar. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The cabins are on floor 1. The rooms ar tiny with a comfortable bed. The shared bathrooms were modern and clean. There is also an lovely communal area.
Internet was fine. The front staff was excellent!
We needed to make a last-minute change to a different room and they were able to accommodate us. Rooms are big and clean. Love having coffee and tea in the room I would highly recommend two friends and family. However, be aware that the treehouse type rooms with the bunkbeds are extremely small, like staying in a hostel, and sharing the bathrooms.
The room was clean and for a one night transit stop it was a good choice. Close to the ferry terminals and ships we also had an array of restaurants close by. Not at all happy with the bar staff on the roof at who were more interested in enjoying themselves than serving customers so we took our money elsewhere and had dinner at another place. The reception staff were very efficient and helpful.
Clean room, small but good. Good location. Thinner walls but I sleep with earbuds so it’s wasnt a problem. Clean bathrooms with showers that lock. Very very lovely and accommodating staff. Parking for I think $20 a day. After checking out, if you need to come back to use the shower (say if you have a late flight) that same day they will let you which was great.
Staff is nice, hotel is clean, the cabins are no good, too small, no pool, no gym, no atm, no vending machines.. good luck if u need water or soda at night… everything is closed,

So easy after a middle of the night arrival and a middle of the night departure 10 days later. We moved to the main Kon Tiki hotel rooms which were stunning inbetween staying at the cabins.
