Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki
8.2 (127 reviews)

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki ★★★

📍 23 Bd de la Reine Pomare IV, Papeete

"Very nice hotel. The cabins are small, but perfect for an overnight trip to the islands."

Hotel Tahiti Nui
7.4 (104 reviews)

Hotel Tahiti Nui ★★★

📍 Avenue Prince Hinoï, Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete

"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."

Hotel Sarah Nui
6.9 (128 reviews)

Hotel Sarah Nui ★★★

📍 BP 4354 Fare Tony, Papeete

"I got a room that was near the street. Quite noisy with cars and chicken. Wish they could have a better soundproof on every rooms. The rest of stay was great. Staffs were very helpful even if they couldn't communicate in English quite well. Overall, it's all good."

Hotel Reva Tahiti
8.9 (48 reviews)

Hotel Reva Tahiti ★★★

📍 Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete

"Stayed 3 nights in the new Reva Hotel after spending 4 nights in another nearby and similarly priced hotel in Papeete. The room price at Reva did not reflect just how basic the room was. No fridge, no bottled water provided, no tissues provided, room not serviced once in 3 days, had to request fresh towels. Staff are helpful and friendly. In summary, a new hotel that looks shiny but has a lot to learn. Unable to recommend in terms of price or quality."

Tea Tahiti Holidays
7.5 (67 reviews)

Tea Tahiti Holidays ★★

📍 BP 4062, Papeete

"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."

Mahana Lodge Hostel & Backpacker
7.4 (40 reviews)

Mahana Lodge Hostel & Backpacker ★★

📍 5 Rue Paul Gauguin, Papeete

"Was fantastic, very friendly people, but: on the 28th I slipped due to a water leak from my shower, my wrist was badly bruised (in any case), was not treated seriously, the towel was put down and I had to beg for ice to cool down (husband). ) One of the women did give me ice cream Now; 1 week later: still can't use my hand Also: leakage in the dorm, ditto Not taken seriously, they also put a towel down there and after mentioning it again: nothing, so I grabbed dry towels and threw the soaked ones in their cage Too bad, because it was otherwise good Of course, I should have called a doctor right away and paid them, in retrospect Now: my bikini bottoms are still there, they won't send them to me, even if I pay It was all annoying, because it was otherwise excellent, although I had the only creaking bed and I didn't sleep for 11 nights"

Boutique Hôtel Kon Tiki Tahiti
8.7 (130 reviews)

Boutique Hôtel Kon Tiki Tahiti ★★★

📍 23 Bd de la Reine Pomare IV, Papeete

"The hotel is divine! The room was super spacious, comfortable, and clean, with everything of really high quality."

Maitai Express Tahiti
8.5 (111 reviews)

Maitai Express Tahiti ★★★

📍 FC7J+8VV, Ave du Prince Hīnoi, Papeete

"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."

"The shower and toilet are UB, and the shower is fixed to the ceiling so you can't move it yourself. If you don't mind that, it's perfect."

Hotel Sarah Nui ★★★
"A decent hotel for a one-night stay if you're planning to catch the ferry the next morning. In my opinion, a bit pricey for the services offered, but you're in French Polynesia. In my opinion, it's overrated, but like all of Polynesia so far, I've experienced it."

Hotel Reva Tahiti ★★★
"Avoid at all costs… we booked a room which we cancelled within the allotted time (5 months). The hotel charged us for the night and hasn't responded to any messages since. It's theft!"

"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!"

Boutique Hôtel Kon Tiki Tahiti ★★★
"This hotel is within walking distance of the cruise terminal and has an elevator. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet. We had an early morning flight, and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, arranging a taxi for us and giving us a wake-up call. There are restaurants nearby, and a pizza place right next door."

City Home Tahiti ★★
"The best part about CityHome is Nadine, who manages it. She was more helpful than we could have hoped. Neet a cab? She will schedule it. Need info about trips? Cars? Tips about shopping? Advice about where to eat? She knows it all and is happy to help. Nadine made all the difficult things about being in an unfamiliar place simple. The accommodations are comfortable, pleasant, and immaculately clean. The air conditioner in our room was quiet and worked so well that outside noise was simply not an issue even though CityHome is in a busy part of town. There is a lovely patisserie right across the street where we bought coffee and croissants in the morning, two nearby markets (2 minute walk to one, 5 to the other), and walking to the Papeete harbor takes only fifteen minutes. We rented a car and never had any trouble finding a nearby parking spot. (While we used the car to travel around the island, we really didn't use it much in the city.) The common kitchen and TV area area were clean and had everything we needed to fix a snack or a full mean when we wanted. I would certainly stay there again, and I don't know how we would have managed without Nadine."
