This Hotel was very cute and such a great idea for an eco friendly place! Small with its quirks (bunk bed style a bit difficult to climb, auto water buttons that you push in shared baths every min or so while showering, and no give in a late checkout) but such great staff, helpfulness on letting us hang out before our midnight flight! Luggage stow and getting to take that shower before the flight was a bonus! Cafe food was great and top floor bar sunset view was amazing! Count on spending for taxi to/from.. And just a bit expensive, but we found that to be true in these islands. Great local food trucks were available for dinner near by! I only give it 4 stars due to shared bathroom floor cleanliness as the women’s, unfortunately, had feces smeared for quite some time :(

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.

This is a review for the cabin floor. So clean, everything is new, staff was super friendly and helpful and even ordered a taxi for me. There’s ice, water, coffee, a sink, and a seating area. The rooftop bar was a plus as well. Highly recommend! It was 2800 CPF for a taxi to the airport and a 2 min walk from the ferry.

This hotel is very close to the port and the staff were very helpful Which is important when a large amount of passengers are checking out to get to the ship while others are checking in and having to use a very tight space for all the luggage at the front desk. But the Hotel Kon Tiki has some of the lowest rates to get a great bed in a clean facility in Papeete. But also don't expect a King's suite for a low price. Just a nice cool simple space and a good sleep in a good location. So it worked for us.

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.
