★★★ 8.8 (129 reviews)

"Nice deco, spacious and clean room, however, amenities like toothbrush, slippers, etc., aren’t provided. Downstairs was very loud and noisy, can’t really sleep ( traffic, bar, karaoke). Probably not worth it at this price."

★★★ 7.4 (127 reviews)

"Hotel well located near the ferries. Large, clean room. Decor a bit kitschy but functional with plenty of power outlets and a fairly large bathroom/toilet. Air conditioning in very good condition."

Hotel Reva Tahiti

Hotel Reva Tahiti

📍 Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete
★★★ 8.6 (38 reviews)

"A true escape in the heart of Papeete. The Reva Tahiti hotel perfectly blends modernity and Polynesian spirit, creating an elegant and soothing atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, beautifully decorated, with exceptional bedding, and you immediately feel at home. You truly feel removed from the hustle and bustle: a haven of calm in the very center. The location is ideal, everything is just steps away: restaurants, amenities, the ferry terminal… perfect for a short stay or a longer visit. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with a lovely variety of fresh tropical fruits. And a big thank you to the staff, who are both delightful and highly professional. I will be back!"

📍 Avenue Prince Hinoï, Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete
★★★ 7.3 (104 reviews)

"There was no porter for our suitcases when we arrived by taxi; we had to carry everything ourselves to reception. Furthermore, our room overlooked a very busy and noisy street. Soundproofing seemed nonexistent. -"

Tea Tahiti Holidays

Tea Tahiti Holidays

📍 BP 4062, Papeete
★★ 7.4 (66 reviews)

"Do not book this place! Especially if youre a solo female traveller! When I showed up around 9pm there was nobody there to welcome me. It felt like a sketchy neighborhood so thank God I had the taxi driver wait for me while I tried to get in. I had to find another hotel to stay at and this one refused to refund me so I paid for two hotels. I'm so not impressed!"

Beautiful apartment ideally located in the capital city of Papeete!

"I don't normally do shared bathroom but this was a last-minute booking as my hotel reservation fell through. As long as you don't mind shared bathroom, it's a great place to stay. Reception is super friendly, the room is modern, clean and comfortable. I didn't live how the shower turned off every few seconds."

Maitai Express Tahiti ★★★
"Since we were going to other islands, we decided to stay overnight. The hotel charges a city tax of $300 XPF that day, which you can pay in cash or by credit card. The service was good. The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from the airport; a taxi would cost around $2000 XPF. It's located opposite the pier, and the hotel's exterior is very distinctive, making it easy to find. There are several restaurants outside the hotel where you can eat if you get hungry. We arrived at the hotel around 12:00 PM to check in, and they prepared our room for us around 1:00 PM! The room didn't have many electrical outlets, and the shower water pressure was low. You need to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and other small supplies. You can borrow a hairdryer from the front desk."

"It's about a 10-minute walk from the pier. There's a supermarket right at the intersection. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. There's a swimming pool right at the entrance. There are free-range chickens in the yard."

Fare Arearea Sweet Studio ★★★
"Very good 5-night stay in this apartment, very well located, 10 minutes walk from the ferry terminal, the cathedral....in a neighborhood that is not afraid, Firmin bakery just downstairs, very practical. The renovation of the building seems to have been redone recently, certainly the common areas and the apartment itself would need a refresh (especially the fridge to change) but hey it was clean and functional, with a little more dishes it would be perfect, the small balcony is appreciable with tables and chairs The rooftop pool is great, well maintained, there are no seats but a deck on which you can put your towel. just downstairs from the building on Prince Hinoi Avenue, bus stop which allows you to go to the Lafayette and Pointe Vénus beaches in 15 minutes. Carlos, the owner, came to pick us up at the airport and put us in touch with a reliable and punctual taxi to take us back to the airport very early on the day of our departure. He helped us out upon our arrival by taking us to sort out a problem with a car rental company. We had a very good communication with him beforehand, and he was available to help us plan our stay."
