We needed a place to stay on our way to Moorea and this fit the bill. Right next to the ferry terminal. It was ultra basic. The room had just enough room to stand and turn around. Our two backpacks and small duffel were pretty cramped….but it was clean and quiet…no windows and a bunk in the opposite room on top of us. Very space saving. No private bathrooms but it was fine. Very nice terrace “lounge” for making coffee and chilling. No frills for sure but cheap and basic. Parking is difficult but for a fee they will give you access to a lot down the street.

This is probably the worst place I have stayed in years. Basically a hostel by anything but name and price. Pros: location is right opposite the ferry terminal. Cons (just a selection): The cabins are extremely tiny (basically 1-1.5 sqm and a claustrophobic bed) and bathrooms/showers are shared (a handful per floor, ~20 rooms). Hygiene is questionable at best: there was a small blood stain on our bed linen, people use the corridors to dry their clothes, toilets not being flushed, etc. In the showers, you have to press a button every 10-15 seconds to get water flowing. There is just one small lift which constantly has a queue. We were only given one key card (for 2 people) which meant we had to take turns going to the bathroom, and this card stopped working on the first day. One of the guys at front desk was super condescending when we tried to go to their bar/cafe which was indicated as open but was apparently closed, though the rest of the staff are friendly.

She didn't say I had to use my card to go through a door and there were all the rooms so I was wondering around trying to figure it out until another quests show me... Also the wifi password downstairs the could have told me

This was my second stay here for another short layover. The room I was assigned this time did not have a fridge, unlike my previous stay. Still, it was fine for a short layover.

Great location, about a 10-minute drive from the airport and right behind the ferry terminal. The reception staff were friendly, and the showers and toilets were kept clean. The Polynesian Cabin double room has a bit of an odd layout since you have to climb a ladder to get into the bed. Overall, it’s fine for a one-night layover in Papeete.
