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.

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.

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.

Good choice if you don't need a pool!

Kind of near town, functional if you dont need a pool. Felt safe. Had a skinny little balcony which came in handy drying out dive equipment. Beautiful sunset view. Very comfortable for us. Affordable,

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.
