We stayed on the 1st floor. The 8th floor has a rooftop bar. We could hear the deep bass sounds from the music the ENTIRE night and into the morning when we left at 5:30am. Having said this, the upside was that the hotel staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. It was also prefect for a one night stay as the price was right. The room was very small but it was perfectly appointed with super comfortable bunk beds, TV’s, outlets and extremely clean.

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki is very clean, well organised and a great concept. Shared bathrooms were very clean, the bed was comfy and check in by staff at around 3:30am was quick and painless - so much better than trying to navigate a self-check in at that time. Rooms are small and have no windows but as they are clean with a great bed, I had everything I needed. Would recommend.

The staff is wonderful!! Probably the most welcoming hotel I've ever stayed in. No complaints whatsoever. Comfortable cabins, economical with everything you need for a good night's sleep in a minimalist space. Breezy outdoor patio/lounge for when you want to spread out. Check out the artwork on the walls, the indoor fountains, the green walls. Walking distance to all downtown facilities & attractions. Didn't eat at any of their facilities, can't offer an opinion.

Excellent. Well appointed cabins that are perfect for a short stay if you are in between flights. They are new, very comfortable mattresses and everything you could need although very small. Comfortable for one person, probably a little cramped for 2 plus luggage.. Bathrooms good and lounge area with coffee machine 😊

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki provided everything I was looking for in an accommodation on Tahiti Island: luggage storage pending my check-in; a small, safe place to sleep & store my luggage during my stay; a location convenient to town, the ferries, & the roulottes; dining & bar facilities; assistance with arranging any excursions; English speaking staff; and all at a reasonable price. Kon Tiki came through for me in every way! A special shout-out to the ladies who staff the tour/excursions desk in the lobby: they took time to understand what I was looking for in tours, they were highly competent, well informed and connected with the available tour companies, eager to assist, pleasant, thorough, accurate, and helpful in every way - in short, THE BEST of the best! If I'm ever in Papeete again, this is where I'll stay. I highly recommend the Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki - a very comfortable, welcoming place to call home while visiting Tahiti. Look no further!
The rooms are compact, but can accommodate two plus some well-organized luggage.
The beds are SO comfortable. The TV is arranged for viewing while you are resting.
Excellent coffee shop adjacent to the lobby. Good food, and beverages, upscale environment, snack or a meal at breakfast or mid-day.
Reeftop bar on the rooftop provided a lively ambiance and an outstanding view of Moorea at sunset,
