Pros:

L'emplacement était idéal pour partir avec le ferry juste en face, le personnel a été adorable avec la proposition de garder les bagages à la consigne et de prendre une douche du fait d'une arrivée très tôt le matin, cabine assez sympa avec un grand lit, bar rooftop sur place avec une belle vue et un bon cocktail, restaurant avec très belle vue et café pour le petit déjeuner qui ouvre tôt à 6h30. Superbe patio pour se poser dans la journée et tout ce qu'il faut pour se faire thé et café

Cons:

Les douches et toilettes sont en dehors, c'était prevu mais les toilettes du coup etait un peu loin pour un pipi nocturne surtout quand il faut descendre du lit en hauteur.. bien prévoir d'y aller avant de se coucher !

Great hotel, highly recommended
Pros:

Overall we spent a few nights over 3 weeks in Kon Tiki (1, 1 and 3 nights), it was really convenient as the location is just next to the port from where all the boats and ferries depart. When making the reservation we haven't realised that the cabins don't have a private bathroom, which was ok for one night stay, but at the end we were supposed to stay there 3 nights, and we really wanted to upgrade our room. The staff was super helpful and let us do it, so we ended up in a really spacious hotel room, with a private bathroom. The hotel was really clean and the standard was great. The rooftop bar is just amazing! We had such a great time in Kon Tiki and would definitely stay there again!
