A great option pre or post cruising!
Pros:

The property is ideally situated near to the cruise port and made transitioning from our cruise seamless. The rooms are a bit small but were very comfortable.

Cons:

The breakfast offering could be expanded.

Very quiet even in the middle of the busiest roads of Tahiti
Pros:

Location is ideal right in the heart of Papeete, surrounded by Restaurants / Bars / Shops / Market all you need to explore in the heart of Papeete. Close to the Ferry for short trips across to Moorea also

Cons:

Abbastanza vicino all'aeroporto
Pros:

Cercavo un hotel vicino all'aeroporto per la notte e ha raggiunto il suo scopo.
Dalla finestra vedevo l'aeroporto e l'isola di Morea.

Cons:

L'hotel è a circa 1km dall'aeroporto... in salita. Arrivando direi che serve proprio un taxi. Infatti l'ho preso. Ripartendo si può fare anche con un trolley. Ci sarebbe un passaggio pedonale che dimezza la strada ma per liti con i vicini è stato purtroppo chiuso.

Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room.
Pros:

Convenient location across from the ferry dock in Papeete. Many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Cons:

Expensive for what it is like a lot of things in French Polynesia.

EXCELLENT AND AFFORDABLE REFUGE IN PAPEETE.
Pros:

A nice hotel with large, clean rooms in the center of Papeete, close to good cafes and restaurants, and the strict center of the city, very convenient position. The staff is very friendly and ready to help. In addition, the hotel is affordable, not expensive, which makes it an excellent refuge in Tahiti.

Cons:

The breakfast is bad. No eggs, which should be the basis of a hotel breakfast in a hotel like this, just a few croissants, cookies, butter and jam and juices, and that's it.

Excellent location if you are cruising.
Pros:

I was going to and coming from cruises and this hotel is located almost across the street, although to check and retrieve your bags it adds about a 10 minute walk, very doable.
