    Little space to store bigger luggage that doesn’t fit under the bed. The road in front of the hotel is very busy and loud. If you have a room facing the road I could imagine that it might be quite noisy during the night.

    Very modern and clean. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The room (Polynesian Cabin) was really small and no windows, but was totally fine. Location is perfect if you’re planning to take the ferry and only 15mins by taxi to the airport.

    Was as expected, but cabin is small for 2 persons. For one is perfectly fine, for one or two nights

    Cabins are small but are modern. Bed is large and there is usb power. Shower/toilet nearby and clean.

    That I was given the upper bunk. I am 62 years old and found it very hard/scary to climb up and down. :-) Everything is Tahiti, including accommodations are expensive. :-)

    The Location. The hotel is also very new and the pantry, well equipped.

    • Polynesian Cabin Twin with 2 twin bunk beds
    • Stayed 1 night

    tiny rooms, no private washroom for each unit, AC can only blow cold air directly to upper bunk bed and cannot change the direction of the blade for the cold air to blow to other directions. It was frozen cold for the upper bed person, had to turn off the AC for the 2 person to sleep

    close to the cruise onboard location, modern look for the common areas, multiple washroom/shower facilities to be shared among the travelers, has USB port for both lower and upper bunk beds

    Bathrooms run out of toilet paper but the staff is pretty good about cleaning them a few times a day.

    Clean and central. Great upstairs bar and restaurant. Right across from the ferry. Very friendly staff and so accommodating! They stored your luggage and you could go out all day and then take a shower there before your flight! Coffee shop with good food on site as well.

    Note small rooms no windows, request a bed on the ground if you can’t climb upto a bunk. Request 103, it’s right next two the windows, and at the end of a corridor so you can let some light into your room when chilling whilst still having privacy. There was quite a strong sewage/bathroom smell

    Great location, right across from the ferry building. Has rooftop bar/restaurant & coffee shop. For a short stay it’s perfect.
