la proximité de la gare maritime, l'accueil, la propreté, le concept pour 1 nuit ou 2

See u around guys!
Pros:

As usual just great. Love the staff, not just their professionalism but the general vibe, great functional facilities and exceptional level of shared facilities… it seems the shared bathrooms and showers are being cleaned almost every hour (I don’t know exactly but one get’s the impression with the details of folded up toilet paper just for the statement of yep we were there again and cleaned for you!) just really great.

Une superbe adresse à Papeete !
Pros:

Une superbe adresse à Papeete !
Emplacement parfait à deux pas du marché municipal et du front de mer. J'ai adoré l'ambiance surf tropicale, la décoration soignée, le magnifique patio végétalisé et le rooftop avec sa vue imprenable sur le port et Moorea.
L'hôtel est confortable, chaleureux et engagé dans une démarche écoresponsable.
Mention spéciale au personnel, d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle. L'équipe a pris le temps d'appeler plusieurs loueurs pour m'aider à trouver une voiture et m'a donné de précieux conseils pour découvrir l'île.
Je recommande sans hésiter ! 🌺🌴✨

Cons:

Rien a signaler

Cool room near the ferry station.
Pros:

I liked the room. Quite cool. He proximity with the ferry point was great. The cafe downstairs is nice.

Cons:

It was a little rundown. Needed some TLC. A little too expensive for a room without a window and bathroom. I could hear the other guests. Woke up a few times with banging doors etc.
