Lovely Staff and nice room and grounds..:). Very willing to meet us late as our flight didn't arrive until 2.30am - they helped organise a driver from the airport who was really lovely too. :)

It was a fabulously central location but nice and quiet situation. Lovely amenities in the house and the hosts couldn’t do enough for you

This property is very lovely, spacious, clean and host is super friendly. Very close to the airport. The location I find very inconvenient if you don’t have a car. It is a 45 minute walk to town where the restaurants are. The closest grocery shop is a 20 walk minutes away.

We had a very good time , we rented a car for 2 days and took a boat tour 1 day . The boat tour was way too long in choppy water (3 1/2 hours one way ) and nothing interesting there . Too shallow water for swimming and some birds to look at . Way too long trip for nothing . Tahiti itself has some waterfalls and the black sand beach . For me 2-3 days there is enough

This is a functioning port city.
This is a functioning port city. There are a few places where you can sit by the sea and watch the ships and boats but mainly facilities are across the very busy road.
People enjoy the large market but the town itself is hot, busy and dirty. At night there are many rough sleepers.
This is not a pretty colonial style town. The best bet is to take a ferry to the islands asap.

The town of Papeete is very nice and the people are very friendly and welcoming. Had it not been for our unacceptable accommodations, we would have loved our stay in Papeete. If you go, be sure to stay at a reputable hotel and avoid private Air B&B places. We ended up staying at a dump and no hotel rooms were available because of a cruise that was leaving the next day.

Papeete at first glance could be a nice place to stay.
Papeete at first glance could be a nice place to stay. Warm weather, good food and drinks. Seafront promenade is just gorgeous. But a lot of homeless people and dogs are as decay for the city. Well, some of the US cities like Phili are the same...

The French influence in Tahiti is everywhere and I loved it.
The French influence in Tahiti is everywhere and I loved it. Food is amazing, I had great meals out and the Carrefour supermarkets are better stocked than my local supermarkets here in the UK. I just liked the vibe. There are lots of places to eat and drink, decent shopping to be had and I liked the people. The port where you can catch boats to other islands is in town too!

I enjoyed the Markets the most and the street stalls.
I enjoyed the Markets the most and the street stalls.
I loved the fresh pastries - especially the bread sticks
I found finding a place in town was better for us, as the cost for taxi's was very pricey.
I would avoid staying out in the suburbs and ensure to have an offline currency converter handy as there were times i got caught off guard and ended paying double the amount I intended.
Great location, very comfy well equipped apartment - lovely balcony area to sit outside - washing machine. good air con, lovely views on rooftop nice clean pool. nice breeze up there. pharmacy across road for tests, and 5 min walk to huge supermarket. close to airport & port. host provided transfers & great communication - big plus was great bakery outside and English Netflix. place was quiet and I got an amazing sleep. good bathroom and shower too. supply of tea and coffee. kitchen had everything I needed. spotlessly clean.
It’s a very clean and new hotel. Location was great, closer to the ferry terminal if you want to take the ferry to Moorea. It’s located within walking distance to all restaurants and the Papeete market (if you want to get some flower hei or get some cerviche). Less than 30 mins to the airport. Front desk staff were pretty awesome and helpful. They helped me call the taxi and made restaurant reservations in French. We got the studio on the 3rd floor which I still thought it was good.
The staff were very nice and very helpful. Seemed like a tremendous set of workers who were interested in my welfare. I don't recall the Tahitian words being used here when I stayed at this hotel in 2014, so I asked the front desk to teach me how to pronounce the words that I needed. The hotel was relatively quiet and the beds were comfortable. They now have internet in the rooms. That is a big plus. I liked the place in 2014, but having internet in the room is a great improvement.
More than anything, the hosts Jackie and Joy were wonderful! Jackie stayed in constant communication to insure I found the apt and Joy was incredibly accommodating, even providing a transfer to the airport at an ungodly hour.
This is a spotless apt, has everything you need, and in a great location. However, it is basic accommodations. It’s not a five star hotel. It was perfect for my needs, but if you’re hoping for a resort with a pool, this is not for you.
Pick-up and drop off service from ferry and to airport was very convenient. Very friendly service. Room was very small and basic, no television, but clean. Suited purpose of crashing for a few hours before heading to airport for evening flight (did not stay overnight). The food and beverage served outside on upper area was great. It was nice having that available since Tahiti had a shutdown the evening we were there. Very simple, but great value.
Wonderful hotel! Very friendly, helpful staff. Hotel is modern and immaculate.
Surfhouse Restaurant upstairs offers amazing views of the harbor!
Had an 11:30p.m. flight on checkout day, hotel has a lounge with showers, coffee etc on offer to checked out guests until their trip ti airport. Unlimited excess all day at no charge and held our luggage as well! Absolutely a deal maker when having to wait 10 hours for flight. Loved it!
Great location in Papeete near the port and within a short walking distance to restaurants and other attractions!
Nils from from desk was super helpful and gave great recommendations for tours and anything to make your stay in Tahiti and Papeete even more memorable!
Don’t be shy to ask him!
Plus Kon Tiki is a great value for your money and has something for everyone!
Plus the breakfast is worth trying with great omelettes!
This was our first time visiting Tahiti the French Polynesian and our time there was incredibly amazing. The staff was very friendly and incredible! The food is delicious! Every thing about this hotel is amazing. My husband and I definitely miss this beautiful hotel and the entire staff. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We will definitely visit again and recommend this hotel to everyone who mentions going on vacation!
We choose this location because it's a short distance to the ferry for the other islands. Also the host did pick us up at the airport at 1am . That was very well arranged and very thankful when you arrive the first time in Tahiti. The room is nothing special and quite expensive for what it is.
Loved the cleanliness of the room, absolutely loved the LED lights around the bed. The bathroom was very good too. The staff was helpful and the location is the best in Papeete. It is a great option to come to the Kontiki when travelling here without a big budget.
The breakfast was excellent. The choices were plentiful and tasty. The hotel is perfectly located to downtown Papeete and an excellent "close to the airport" hotel. We had dinner at a local family type restaurant, La Raina, that was an excellent value.
Location was great, 5-10min walk from Papeete centre. Quiet area and the hotel has a great coffee/cafe 5mins away. Great free wifi access, air con and bathroom facilities was good. We rate it fair value of what you’d pay in Tahiti.
The grounds were wonderful and so was the swimming pool. I loved eating breakfast over looking the beach, superb views. The receptionist was very helpful when I arrived and arranged all taxis and airport transfers as requested
Central Papeete was 15 walking from Fare Rearea. Room spacious and clean and had a private garden to eat in. Breakfast was provided with variety. Perhaps closer to normal Papeete living than more expensive downtown hotels.
The hotel is really great if you need somewhere to stay that is close to the airport. Lovely swimming pool, friendly staff, and amazing views out across towards Moorea.
Close to Papeete Centre just a 15 min walk. Very good bathroom and room.
Also a nice bar and restaurant.
The free transfers to and from the Ferry + Airport.
