Cheap yet comfortable
The cabins are very small but comfortable. The shared bathroom is cleaned regularly. I would stay here again if back in Papeete. Good location for getting on a cruise ship

We spent several hours here to wait for our late night flight back to LA after coming back from Bora Bora. Nice place to take a shower and rest instead of spending many hrs at Tahiti airport.

Great hotel near the cruise port, 6 minute walk. Very small rooms but the place was clean and they have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant and a panoramic bar on the 8th floor. For one night, I highly recommend. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was fairly clean, but the shared bathrooms/showers were not clean, half had no hand soap, or toilet paper. Stay in a regular room not a cabin!

Good overnight hotel option
We stopped here for one night before taking the Ferry the next day. I was honestly surprised of how well taken care of this hotel is, shared bathrooms but they are very well maintained and extremely comfortable beds!

The a/c unit works well. Bed was very comfortable. The big surprise was we had to use a ladder (4 rungs) to climb to the bed. Pics did not show set up like the one we had. I would reserve it again for what we needed but the bed would have to be ladder less.
