Property is right across the street from the cruise terminal and ferries. Easy to walk to stores with 2 restaurants right next door. Convenient location for a short stay. Hotel is new though on the main street so you can hear the traffic from your room inside.

Convenient location to the commercial centre, visitors bureau, restaurants, and we can walk to the cruise port. Hot water and water pressure in the shower a bit iffy. Difficult to control the temp. In room air conditioning is great. Feel very safe and secure.

Our second time staying. Staff was great! Very friendly and competent. Room was very clean and comfortable. Shower both stays in both rooms was completely unusable - no water pressure, and constantly oscillated from freezing to boiling. Won't be staying here again, which is a shame because everything else was great.

Good place to catch a cruise ship
Newly remodeled, so everything is new. The rooms are small. In Tahiti, there is no pool. Good location for catching a cruise ship, since it is just across the street from the dock.

Really convenient if you are using the ferry and for walking around downtown Papeete. We stayed for one night on a Friday after returning from Moorea via ferry, before flying out on Saturday, and didn't find it noisy at night. Our room was really clean and had a nice bathroom.
