Great location if you are traveling to Moorea on the ferry. It is about 5 minutes from the hotel to the ferry terminal. The hotel is in great condition, I would stay there again.

I would say this is a three star budget hotel. However, it was all we needed as we flew in late and we were boarding our cruise the next morning. Bed and pillows were great. Hotel is a bit tired but I’d say it was decently clean. Staff very friendly! Good location and they were happy to hold our luggage in storage after checkout - until we could board our cruise!

This hotel served its purpose for an overnight stay since we were getting on Norwegian spirit cruise ship the next day. It’s very convenient and walking distance from the hotel to the cruise line port. It’s walking distance to see the town of Pape’ete. Great customer service at hotel. also make sure you bring your European plug-in chargers because there’s no US electrical outlets.usb plugs in rooms don’t work. we bought the conversion there, and a audio store in town.

Centrally located at the intersection of two major roads, it's across from the cruise ship & ferry port and within minutes of the marketplaces. Staff was overly helpful with electrical appliance connections. Mathilda at the Front Desk went WAY beyond normal expectations when our scheduled taxi to the airport broke down.

Location is convenient. You can walk to most places. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel rooms are very basic. No dresser for clothes or any hangers. Couldn't shut off night lights above head of bed. But, overall it's good and would stay here again.

This is a very good hotel if you are just looking for an overnight stay in Papeete. The staff were very helpful and the room very clean and bed very comfortable. There is no bar and only a continental breakfast on offer. Perfect location if you are arriving or departing from a cruise here.

The hotel is in an ideal location across from the Papeete harbor and close to many restaurants. There is breakfast but many options all around particularly the Urban cafe. The bed was very comfortable. My room and bathroom were small but not too small. Some traffic noise but good seals on windows. Very quiet air conditioning. Small safe and fridge. The room had bottled water though tap water is drinkable and you can fill a water bottle on some of the floors and in the lobby. Staff is very nice. I was able to leave my luggage for 3 days before my stay. There are laundry facilities. Great stay.

Pros: Excellent location. The room was very small, but it was clean. Cons: I accidentally left my universal travel adapter/ USB charging cable in the room when I checked out around 10:30 a.m. I realized this around 4 p.m. and returned to the hotel to ask about them. The room had already been cleaned, but no new guest was staying in it yet. Unfortunately, the staff told me they had not found the items, even though I clearly remembered where I had left them. Overall, the location was excellent and the room was clean, but I was disappointed with how the missing items were handled.
