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.

Hôtel offrant un excellent rapport qualité/prix. Un peu à l’écart du port mais pratique pour une nuit avant de visiter une autre île comme Bora-Bora.

Harry

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is older but the rooms are large and adequate. The airconditioning and draperies (completely dark) were excellent. Very clean floors, white linens, bathroom. This was perfect for my needs. However, the location is on the edge of the port/tourist area of Papeete so it's a 10 minute walk to the central area for shops and eateries. There was no balcony or swimming pool which are not expected at this price point.

Generally not appealing, bed is poor quality, some noise that was unexplainable. Went there from airport late at night, slept for 6 hours to catch the ferry the next morning to Moorea. Area feels dumpy and unsafe. Conveniently located close to ferry terminal.

We booked this hotel for the proximity to the port for our cruise. The floors were noisy. Our bathroom had one shower door that covered a quarter of the distance. Breakfast was limited but good. My bed was so comfy, but the other one in the room was not.
