Quick and easy checkin. Clean facilities. Great location across from the ferry terminal + walking distance to Papeete market. Gentleman at the front desk was amazingly helpful with recommendations on places to visit and drive to around the island.

This is well located across from ferry terminal. The shared seating area is open air and very comfortable with minimal wet bar. The “cabins” are cubicals with bed high up and no window. The cabin next door must have had a lower bed. As such it’s a bunk bed each in its own room. There was much acitivity throughout the night with people coming and going waking me several times.

Cheap yet comfortable

The cabins are very small but comfortable. The shared bathroom is cleaned regularly. I would stay here again if back in Papeete. Good location for getting on a cruise ship

Noisy until the nightclub next door closes at 5am. Don't feel like the sweat if areas. Fine for a one night stop if you're heading to the ferry terminal early in the morning.
