Beautiful boutique hotel in downtown Pape’ete. Perhaps the best one there. I stayed in the one bedroom suite at the harbor end of my floor, which had a balcony off the front sitting area. I slept on the sofa and noticed that traffic noise started building by 4:30 am. The bedroom was removed from the noise, so likely no one else will be bothered by it.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The entire property was clean, well-maintained, and inviting. What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Their warm and accommodating attitude made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Looking forward to coming back!

Clean room and comfy beds. I left my phone in the taxi with my credit card on the back and the staff member went the extra mile and was able to track the taxi down and get it returned. Will definitely be back. A+++++

This was a very unique hotel with a fabulous veranda. It was very spacious and clean. Completely convenient and safe for us to walk around day and night. We were thrilled to be across the road from the port. The hotel staff was kind to store our luggage after we checked out and were waiting to get on the cruise ship

Great transit hotel

The hotel is very convenient to downtown Papeete and across the street from the cruise terminal. We stayed one night between our flight from US and early morning flight next day to Bora Bora. We stayed again 2 weeks later after exiting our Paul Gauguin cruise before flying home. It is just a few blocks walk to the Market.

This property is very close to market, cruise pier and ferry terminal. No need to take another taxi to those locations. Hotel room was not large but adequate for a short overnight stay.
