One night in Pape’ete

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.

Staff friendly and helpful. Although it was only on the last morning that I got a clear answer about the breakfast availability. 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.

Location is 10 min walk to downtown Papeete. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and staff is welcoming. We only stayed the one night but it's within walking distance to Hotel Kontiki which has a restaurant and across the street is a store that sells individual drinks and snacks as well as supplies in bulk. Short walking distance to the wharf.

Could be better…

Overall, stay was good, but the room we got didn’t look at all like the picture on the website, or on our reservation document. Dated, very little sitting room, breakfast buffet with limited choice and overpriced.

Honest Review

The hotel has a nice reception but the rooms are quite dated, staff were friendly and helpful with storing our bags after checkout. The bed was comfortable with clean sheets and towels, only the shower could have been a bit cleaner as the tiles/grout needed a good clean.

There was nothing around the hotel.and nothing to do there. The hotel needed an update. Our balcony was restricted with the large air-conditioning units. However, our room was large with a sink, and kept very tidy with replaced toiletries and water. The staff were so friendly, kind, and helpful, which made so much difference to our stay.

Easy access to cruise terminal and airport

The staff was friendly and professional. They were helpful with restaurants selection for the area as well as booking taxi for airport transfer. The hotel is a bit dated. However, it is a great place to stay for pre cruise or pro cruise stay since it is only a short distance from the cruise port and the airport.
