Pros:

Nous avons passé une nuit en Cabine Polynésienne et franchement, pour le prix, il y a quand même de l'espace pour les affaires etc.
Les douches et WC sont très propres et régulièrement nettoyés.
Juste en face du port et du centre de Papeete.

Pas de point négatif particulier
Pros:

Bonjour et Merci, nous sommes des locaux habitant Moorea, et ;être obligés de dormir sur PPT, n'est pas simple; toutefois l'établissement nous facilte l'hébergement. Je recommande pour ceux qui viennent de Moorea et plus encore.
Bien à vous.

Cons:

Les heures de pointe pour l'accès aux bar est un peu grasstique, mais la gérance des va-et-vient son fluide, donc;sans plus de commentaire.
Merci.

Very good for a night stay when you have a ferry to catch in the morning.
Pros:

Location is perfect and the open patio on the first floor is great.

Cons:

The showers/bathrooms had water everywhere on the floor, so it is uncomfortable. The faucets are with a push system and automatic stop: Not comfortable..

consiglio anche per solo una notte prima del volo aereo
Pros:

Lenzuola, asciugamani, bagno in comune diviso tra donne e uomini, 4 docce, tutto pulitissimo, wifi, A/C, ascensore, rooftop con vista, ma la cosa migliore è stato il servizio, ci hanno tenuto i bagagli quando eravamo in giro per l’isola, sia il giorno del nostro arrivo che della nostra partenza ma soprattutto ci hanno fatto fare la doccia prima della partenza del volo per l’Italia, tutto incluso.
Parcheggio in strada, si trova facilmente in zona, oppure privato a pagamento per 2000xpf/auto/notte.

Cons:

parcheggio
