    The cabin is like a cupboard of 2 square meters with no windows and it was hard to sleep because of the music from the neighboring nightclub.

    Staff is friendly

    Nothing. It was perfect

    Wonderful people, nice bar on the roof, close to tons of restaurants, and next to the ferry. Yes, the cabins are small, but that's the point. It's perfect for someone that is there to sleep at night and adventure during the day. If you want a luxurious hotel room, stay at a resort.

    Nothing. It’s awesome

    Location is ideal for transit between arriving at airport and taking the ferry to the islands. It’s across the road. The cabins are exceptionally reasonable and perfect for this purpose. I didn’t travel to Tahiti to sit in a room. Amenities are clean and nice STAFF :- they are EXTREMELY lovely and helpful. They were very quick with email responses and so very helpful. Shout out to Lili. Particularly lovely and helpful.

    Room was very small, no windows. We heard people above our bed. (Probably next room) No room for your stuff(suitcases) / standing room for two people. We received one room key. You need it to go through 3 keyed doors to go bathrooms. One person would not be able to leave. We missed breakfast because we didn’t know about it.

    The espresso coffee machine was great 😊

    The room was like a prison cell no windows, very small. Not good value for money no individual bathroom. My card has a payment pending block for over 1 month. Their system should automatically cancel Card Blocks after a few days and the merchant should release the funds back to the Bank. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. As the hotel appears to be about maximizing profit due to its location, very impersonal service. But the rooms are like prison cells, so small and no windows

    The roof Terrace was good. Very close access to the Ferry Terminal and a central location

    modern and nicely decorate backapker.

    First, I thought the hotel was very close the airport as you can see on Internet. In fact, you have to take a taxi for 15 min to go in town-center. I was just looking for a night before a second flight very early on the morning. Secondly, there is a night club just next door and the night whas boom-boom till 4 even in the room, time to go to the airport... and finaly, the room is not equiped with a bathreoom, this is commun bath room. When you are not expecting it, this is quite disturbing, but very clean, a good way to meet some friends...

    the concept is very nice but should be explained on reservation : it is more a very good backpaker than an hotel. But rooms are nicely made, very modern, offering nice led lightenig and charging USB 2 and C on the wall.

    Horrendous Experience: Poor Customer Service and Deceptive Practices

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    We booked this room months in advance $60 1 night - 2 adult and On our late arrival 2am - we been asked to pay double of the rate confirmed with booking.com - insisting that booking.com rate was incorrect and refuse to do a check in if not paying what he was asking $120. Leaving us with no option at the time of the night. The lack of professionalism and understanding exhibited by the staff was astounding. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue or providing any alternative solutions, they showed no empathy towards weary travelers desperately seeking a place to rest. End up paying $120 - and still have booking confirmation for $60 As promised, I will be reporting this incident with all the necessary receipts and evidence. I feel it is important to warn others about the unscrupulous practices employed by this establishment. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. Be aware!

    Nothing to say about the location and the building. But poor customer service.

    It could have been an error on my part, but I didn't realize I didn't book a full room. I got a bed in a very small space. Lighting was poor in the entire facility, and the community showers and bathrooms had no ventilation. Showers didn't drain the water, and the water temperature was not changeable. There was no space in the bathroom to hang or put your stuff but a small shelf. coffee in the communal area was good. WiFi was slow when there were too many people on it.

    The facility was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Located right across from the ferry terminal for Moorea, it was a nice location.

    not enough light in room made it depressing, noisy (other patrons and cleaners that can’t read the do not disturb sign), internet kept dropping out, breakfast was low quality, nothing is air conditioned outside your room so you are confined to the 7m^2 room all day

    very clean, lots of bathrooms, air conditioning in every room, very secure/safe, great location, helpful staff, 24/7 checkin (very handy)
