Great place to stay in town. Center of everything and I’m front of the ferries. Stayed there twice during my time in Papeete. Got the cabin bunk for a solo traveler no complaints communal showers outside that separates men and woman. Easy place for easy travelers.

Was one of best hostels I've stayed in. Reception was staffed 24/7 with friendly, helpful people. Key card entry to floor, hallway & room. My private room had a double bed & a/c. The restrooms/showers are accessible, clean & private.The community area was clean, had comfortable seating, an espresso machine, teapot & fixings, microwave, water & ice.

Internet was fine. The front staff was excellent! We needed to make a last-minute change to a different room and they were able to accommodate us. Rooms are big and clean. Love having coffee and tea in the room I would highly recommend two friends and family. However, be aware that the treehouse type rooms with the bunkbeds are extremely small, like staying in a hostel, and sharing the bathrooms.

The room was clean and for a one night transit stop it was a good choice. Close to the ferry terminals and ships we also had an array of restaurants close by. Not at all happy with the bar staff on the roof at who were more interested in enjoying themselves than serving customers so we took our money elsewhere and had dinner at another place. The reception staff were very efficient and helpful.
