Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki

📍 23 Bd de la Reine Pomare IV, Papeete
★★★ 8.2 (127 reviews)

"The place is fantastic. Super nice staff, very supportive with individual request. They store your luggage after check out & gave us the opportunity to shower before heading to the airport. Great service! Rooms are spacious enough for 1-2 persons if you stay only 1-3 nights. Our beds (especially pillows, sheets and mattress) were super comfy and we even had a little fridge in our room. There are no windows in the cabins but the AC is doing the job First we were but concerned about the shared bathrooms & restrooms. But no need! You find bathrooms (men & women are in separate aisle) with a shower (equipped w shower gel, shampoo & conditioner) incl a toilet and sink on each floor and you simple lock the room once you need to use it. All is really clean. We also liked the design of each area. The rooftop bar offers a big variety of drinks and some snacks. Fantastic view The Kon tiki is also very central. In front of the ferry terminal and you can walk „downtown“ for shopping, eating etc If we come back and need accommodation for a couple of nights, this would be our choice Big thank you again to the team 👍"

Hotel Reva Tahiti

📍 Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete
★★★ 8.7 (40 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!"

"Very polite and helpful check in staff member. He helped me with my bag (I use a crutch) and let me know where there were places to eat; he recommended a food truck that had great food at a great price. Didn’t use the showers but the bathroom was very clean as was the whole floor I was on. A fair amount of steps to get to my room but the hostel location was walking distance to the ferry and many shops and restaurants."

"The hotel's location is very convenient, not far from the airport and within walking distance of the city center. The hotel is clean, but the rooms are small; two large suitcases couldn't be opened simultaneously. What I disliked most was the noise from the bar until 3 AM, even after requesting a quiet room in advance."

"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!"

★★★ 7.5 (1 reviews)

"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."

Boutique Hôtel Kon Tiki Tahiti ★★★
"You can't hear the noise from the bar downstairs on the 6th floor, but the soundproofing of the room is average, but acceptable. The front desk is very enthusiastic and will answer any questions patiently. You can also ask them to help book a taxi. It costs about $30 to take a taxi to the airport. The room is quite large, the facilities are very new, and the air conditioning is very powerful."

Hotel Reva Tahiti ★★★
"The recently opened Hotel REVA is the perfect place for a few nights in Papeete. Close to the city center, the market, and the ferry terminal for the islands, it allows you to explore everything on foot. The rooms are spacious, bright, and tastefully decorated. Large TVs, kitchenettes, and terraces with views of Tahiti: I loved it! Everything is very well soundproofed, and you sleep wonderfully, a world away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby city. The staff is charming, the welcome is warm, and the breakfast buffet is delicious. I will gladly return."

"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."

Hotel Tahiti Nui ★★★
"The twin room was assigned the worst external environment. The second-floor balcony was directly occupied by several giant air-conditioning outdoor units in the entire building. It was noisy, the windows and doors could not be opened, and it was extremely hot outside."
