Clean room and comfy beds. I left my phone in the taxi with my credit card on the back and the staff member went the extra mile and was able to track the taxi down and get it returned. Will definitely be back. A+++++

This was a very unique hotel with a fabulous veranda. It was very spacious and clean. Completely convenient and safe for us to walk around day and night. We were thrilled to be across the road from the port. The hotel staff was kind to store our luggage after we checked out and were waiting to get on the cruise ship

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.

This property is very close to market, cruise pier and ferry terminal. No need to take another taxi to those locations. Hotel room was not large but adequate for a short overnight stay.

steve

Disliked: Room comfort

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

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was. I was checked in three hours early and was upgraded to a large suite. It was clean, convenient for getting off the cruise ship and the staff were very friendly and welcoming!

The location is very convenient for shopping and looking for places to eat. For cruisers so close to the port. Easy access to the market.There’s a bar outside the hotel that’s noisy from singing and drinking however it doesn’t bother us.

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.
