Un emplacement idéal et un hôtel bien entretenu !
Pros:

L’hôtel Matai Express Tahiti est parfaitement situé pour explorer Papeete et ses alentours. Les chambres sont propres et bien équipées, avec une literie confortable ( les oreillés sobt moyen). L’établissement est bien entretenu, ce qui rend le séjour agréable. Le rapport qualité-prix pour la chambre en elle-même est satisfaisant, et l’accueil à la réception est professionnel.

Cons:

Le service de taxi partenaire de l’hôtel est peu aimable entous cas notre chauffeur.La porte de la chambre est difficile à ouvrir (un détail qui peut agacer au quotidien). Enfin, l’option pour obtenir la chambre plus tôt dans la journée est proposée… à un tarif exorbitant (plus de 100 €). Dommage pour un service qui devrait être plus accessible.
