What a wonderful staff! Just delightful. The room was cool and comfy, except for the height of the toilet! Both of us had our feet dangling, which made everything very awkward.

The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of Tahiti, with everything within easy walking distance. The room was overall very well maintained. The only downside is the nightclub or live bar next door—you’ll get free music until around midnight, which may or may not be a perk depending on your preferences.

The room seemed clean. Our room had a REALLY terrible smell. I’m not sure if it was a dead mouse or what but it was pretty bad. Seems like the housekeepers would have noticed it before checking someone into the room. I’m not sure if we got unlucky or if all rooms have a terrible smell. We only slept & shower here. Staff seemed nice. Check in & out was really smooth. Elevators were very small.

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.

Location was super convenient as you could walk to the ferry from the hotel. Staff was friendly and it's very walkable to all of the stores and restaurants in the downtown area. They even let us store our luggage there after we stayed and we're returning from Moorea. Super helpful and would definitely stay there again when we next visit Tahiti!
