Exceptionally clean, modern, and private facilities, including bathrooms which were shared but cleaned regularly.
Cristiana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really great hostel! You have your own little room and it’s close to the port which we really liked!
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quick and easy checkin. Clean facilities. Great location across from the ferry terminal + walking distance to Papeete market. Gentleman at the front desk was amazingly helpful with recommendations on places to visit and drive to around the island.
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Inexpensive cabins (hostel like). Clean washrooms down hall and nice dining areas. Across from ferry and short walk to cruise pier.
Deborah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place and convenient location for visiting Papeete and Moorea with a ferry right across the road.
Asha, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent. Well appointed cabins that are perfect for a short stay if you are in between flights. They are new, very comfortable mattresses and everything you could need although very small. Comfortable for one person, probably a little cramped for 2 plus luggage.. Bathrooms good and lounge area with coffee machine 😊

Surprise fee for storing our luggage

Overall, our stay at the Kon Tiki Hotel was pleasant — the location is excellent, right across from the ferry terminal, and the facilities are modern and comfortable. However, as returning guests, we were quite disappointed to be charged an additional fee for storing our luggage during our trip to other islands, even though we were coming back to stay at the hotel again. This policy feels very unreasonable and is something we have never experienced at other hotels. It’s a point the hotel should really reconsider, especially for repeat guests.

Pauline, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed on the 1st floor. The 8th floor has a rooftop bar. We could hear the deep bass sounds from the music the ENTIRE night and into the morning when we left at 5:30am. Having said this, the upside was that the hotel staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. It was also prefect for a one night stay as the price was right. The room was very small but it was perfectly appointed with super comfortable bunk beds, TV’s, outlets and extremely clean.
Jack, 1-night trip

Very nice, lean and modern but the rooms are very small.

10/10 Exceptional

After a stay in Moorea, very convenient in front of the ferry and walking distance to downtown Papeete. New place, very well done !
France, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property had a convenient location near the town and quay, was central to the thriving nightlife of Papette and had ease of shopping. It is bare basic which keeps the cost down on a small thriving island.

8/10 Very good

Great location in front of the pier and walking distance to the markets. Staff is efficient and friendly. Cabin room size is small as expected but beddings are comfortable. Perfect for a budget stopover for 2-3 days in Tahiti before heading off to the other islands. Hope the hotel maintains it's cleanliness and modern facilities

Yangxun, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small room, small price. This is not a normal hotel room. No chairs, very little floor space. We just needed a place to store our luggage and take a shower (in the shared bathroom) before a long flight. It worked very well for that purpose.
Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The a/c unit works well. Bed was very comfortable. The big surprise was we had to use a ladder (4 rungs) to climb to the bed. Pics did not show set up like the one we had. I would reserve it again for what we needed but the bed would have to be ladder less.
Virginia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good accommodation with air conditioning at a reasonable price. Coming from the north, I appreciated the AC. I did not prefer the men’s shared shower and bathroom down the hall, but it was not a concern. It was clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here for one night to take a flight to a different island the next day. The hotel is close to the airport (19-20 usd taxi ride from the airport). Pretty close to everything within walking distance if you need to do some shopping before continuing your journey. If you’re staying in one of the upper floors the noise might be an issue due to the rooftop (which was a lot of fun) I was on the first floor and had no trouble at all. Check in process was fast and efficient.
Hildebrando, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My main comment is that if you book the "Polynesian Cabins", pay close attention to the size of the room. It was about 4 feet by 10 feet with a bunk bed on the side. It was enough for me as I really needed just a "day room" after a cruise and before a flight home. Shared bathroom and shower facilities. Staff was great. Gave me complimentary early check in at 8:30am as that was what I needed. Concierge arranged an island tour for me at last minute. Very helpful!
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unique and perfect

What a unique place! We needed a room from early in the morning until 9 pm when we needed to go to the airport. This place was great. It is all new after a remodel and across the street from the cruise port. About a five minute walk. You will get a small closet-like room which is all we needed. Down the hall are separate bathrooms. Each has a toilet, sink and shower. We would definitely stay again!
Carla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cabins are a great idea to ensure a private room without spending too much. Really clean and very comfortable, cool lighting and good wifi. It's like a bunk bed but you only have access to one half of the bed if that makes sense. There is someone above you but they are in a separate room to you. Only thing is that you can sometimes hear them if they're being loud but wasn't a huge problem. Would highly recommend.
Daniel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room is so small you can't open your luggage or sit on you bed. Community toilets and shower but no towels provided. Room is too small for two people to exist in.
Martin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The common bathrooms were often dirty with unflushed toilets, empty or unworkable soap dispensers, and wet floors. No provisions anywhere for your things - take a shower, leave your clothes on the floor in a break. Staff was rude and unhelpful. Access from a traffic standpoint is a nightmare.
David, 1-night trip
