The place is nice and has an amazing rooftop bar and restaurant. We stayed one night after coming back from bora bora. Most people go to the airport hotels but I wanted a small night life.

Really great hostel! You have your own little room and it’s close to the port which we really liked!

Inexpensive cabins (hostel like). Clean washrooms down hall and nice dining areas. Across from ferry and short walk to cruise pier.

The cabin was fine for a night and the hotel was in a good location. Overall recommend. We had a little disagreement with the way the Reeftop handled a situation but they are independent from the hotel.

We spent several hours here to wait for our late night flight back to LA after coming back from Bora Bora. Nice place to take a shower and rest instead of spending many hrs at Tahiti airport.

Great hotel near the cruise port, 6 minute walk. Very small rooms but the place was clean and they have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant and a panoramic bar on the 8th floor. For one night, I highly recommend. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

We were very happily surprised at the cleanliness and the quality of the room and common area for the guest. We used it for a transition spot and extremely pleased for the affordable price.

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki is very clean, well organised and a great concept. Shared bathrooms were very clean, the bed was comfy and check in by staff at around 3:30am was quick and painless - so much better than trying to navigate a self-check in at that time. Rooms are small and have no windows but as they are clean with a great bed, I had everything I needed. Would recommend.

The cabins are VERY small, but the loft bed was very comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean, but very hot. Was grateful for a/c in our cabin. It was fine for one night, but wouldn’t do it again.

The staff is wonderful!! Probably the most welcoming hotel I've ever stayed in. No complaints whatsoever. Comfortable cabins, economical with everything you need for a good night's sleep in a minimalist space. Breezy outdoor patio/lounge for when you want to spread out. Check out the artwork on the walls, the indoor fountains, the green walls. Walking distance to all downtown facilities & attractions. Didn't eat at any of their facilities, can't offer an opinion.

Great place and convenient location for visiting Papeete and Moorea with a ferry right across the road.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was fairly clean, but the shared bathrooms/showers were not clean, half had no hand soap, or toilet paper. Stay in a regular room not a cabin!

The staff is very welcoming and you cannot beat the proximity to the ferry to Moorea.

We stopped here for one night before taking the Ferry the next day. I was honestly surprised of how well taken care of this hotel is, shared bathrooms but they are very well maintained and extremely comfortable beds!

Tiny rooms, designed really for one person (or two being very cozy) - breakfast buffet atrociously overpriced - but everything else above reproach

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.

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki provided everything I was looking for in an accommodation on Tahiti Island: luggage storage pending my check-in; a small, safe place to sleep & store my luggage during my stay; a location convenient to town, the ferries, & the roulottes; dining & bar facilities; assistance with arranging any excursions; English speaking staff; and all at a reasonable price. Kon Tiki came through for me in every way! A special shout-out to the ladies who staff the tour/excursions desk in the lobby: they took time to understand what I was looking for in tours, they were highly competent, well informed and connected with the available tour companies, eager to assist, pleasant, thorough, accurate, and helpful in every way - in short, THE BEST of the best! If I'm ever in Papeete again, this is where I'll stay. I highly recommend the Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki - a very comfortable, welcoming place to call home while visiting Tahiti. Look no further!
The rooms are compact, but can accommodate two plus some well-organized luggage.
The beds are SO comfortable. The TV is arranged for viewing while you are resting.
Excellent coffee shop adjacent to the lobby. Good food, and beverages, upscale environment, snack or a meal at breakfast or mid-day.
Reeftop bar on the rooftop provided a lively ambiance and an outstanding view of Moorea at sunset,
