This was a very unique hotel with a fabulous veranda. It was very spacious and clean. Completely convenient and safe for us to walk around day and night. We were thrilled to be across the road from the port. The hotel staff was kind to store our luggage after we checked out and were waiting to get on the cruise ship

Great transit hotel

The hotel is very convenient to downtown Papeete and across the street from the cruise terminal. We stayed one night between our flight from US and early morning flight next day to Bora Bora. We stayed again 2 weeks later after exiting our Paul Gauguin cruise before flying home. It is just a few blocks walk to the Market.

This property is very close to market, cruise pier and ferry terminal. No need to take another taxi to those locations. Hotel room was not large but adequate for a short overnight stay.

steve

Disliked: Room comfort

not the best experience

The elevator was incredibly slow. The room was sparse and I had to unplug a light as there was no other outlet. The initial key didn't work, so I had to take the elevator to get a new key. Worst was that they charged my card a day before I arrived at the property (not my experience with Hotels.com reservations "pay at the property"). The credit card flagged it as fraud and not recognizing the charge, I agreed with the resulting hassle of having a new card issued

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was. I was checked in three hours early and was upgraded to a large suite. It was clean, convenient for getting off the cruise ship and the staff were very friendly and welcoming!

The location is very convenient for shopping and looking for places to eat. For cruisers so close to the port. Easy access to the market.There’s a bar outside the hotel that’s noisy from singing and drinking however it doesn’t bother us.

When we first arrived we were downgraded from our suite to a standard room due to technical difficulties/leak in the room. We were very upset as they seemed to assign the room in advance and rather than giving us another suite they downgraded. After speaking with the manager who seemed somewhat indifferent at first finally came around and compensated us the difference of what we had paid and what the standard room was at the time of booking. They rectified the situation in the end but not without hesitation. We were happy they tried to fix the situation more fairly.

Nice property but very loud at night, there is a bar/club next to hotel and on weekends it stays busy and loud until after 2am. Everything else about the hotel is good and the staff is very friendly. Rooms are good with great air conditioning. If I stayed there again I would ask for a room on opposite side of building to eliminate loudness
