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.

These were not cabins they were extremely small rooms with shared bathrooms. Felt like staying in a hostel. The hotel was very gray, nothing bright or welcoming like you might expect in Tahiti. The staff was very nice and helpful. But read carefully before you book.
