Inexpensive cabins (hostel like). Clean washrooms down hall and nice dining areas. Across from ferry and short walk to cruise pier.

I stayed 2 nights in the Kon Tiki Hotel's first floor small cabins: one night on arrival to French Polynesia from the USA, and the other the night before I left. Excellent stays both times. Clean comfortable rooms, convenient location for access to all that's in Papeete and to all the ferry services right across the street that go to many other islands. On both stays, the front desk staff was very friendly, efficient, and helpful - especially in allowing me to store luggage before my check-in time, and making my room available to me just as soon as a clean room was available. There's an excellent coffee shop on ground level where the service is equally good, and it's open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. There's also a lively rooftop open-air bar with a wonderful view over Papeete harbor looking toward Moorea that stays open late and is quite popular. A special shout-out to the young ladies at the front desk who can provide comprehensive information about tours, and work miracles to book any such tours and events. They helped me get an incredible last-minute tour of the Papeno'o Valley on Tahiti Nui, which turned out to be the best day of a totally wonderful trip to French Polynesia. They were also able to identify available options for me to see a Tahitian Dance Show with buffet, and once I had selected the show at the Intercontinental they booked my reservation there as well. The Kon Tiki charges a fair price, and I highly recommend them for a convenient & comfortable stay in Papeete!

The cabins are VERY small, but the loft bed was very comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean, but very hot. Was grateful for a/c in our cabin. It was fine for one night, but wouldn’t do it again.

Great hotel near the cruise port, 6 minute walk. Very small rooms but the place was clean and they have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant and a panoramic bar on the 8th floor. For one night, I highly recommend. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

Le lit est confortable, les draps agréables. C’est bien propre. L’inconvénient que nous voyons, si le lit est placé en haut, c’est la difficulté pour y accéder. Les échelons sont très espacés, et il faut prendre beaucoup de précaution pour grimper. Ce n’est pas pour des personnes âgées ou en surpoids.

It was basically an upscale hostel. We were fine, and it was pretty clean and safe. Just a matchbox sized room only big enough for the bed, a desk and a tiny place to stand. Restrooms and showers are communal and around the corner, and there was a common area. $79 for 2 people was great for one night.

The a/c unit works well. Bed was very comfortable. The big surprise was we had to use a ladder (4 rungs) to climb to the bed. Pics did not show set up like the one we had. I would reserve it again for what we needed but the bed would have to be ladder less.

The Cabins are great for backpackers just needing an affordable please to sleep and shower, way better than a hostel or guest house. The beds are really confortable and A/C works. They also have a cafe and rooftop bar! Parking cost $20 extra and I wish they had something to lock my pacsafe bag to while I was out, but really enjoyed my stay.
