"This hotel is fit for purpose - the staff is super friendly and reception is staffed 24/7 due to the many late arrivals into Papeete airport. They have a fridge stocked with useful drink and food items to purchase at okay pricing.
The room is dated but again, fit for purpose. There’s a fridge, kettle and coffee and tea (no milk).The aircon works well too.
It is right across from the airport but DO NOT attempt to get there without a taxi. It used to just be one steep climb up from right across the airport but this has since been closed off. Having to walk all around the hotel and accessing it from the back with no clear signage and a steep climb up and then very steep downhill climb again to reach the hotel with a heavy suitcase is really unsafe.
Taxis are not cheap but you have no other options! Expect to pay 2,000 XPF for a 2 min ride and make sure you have that handy in cash.
To get food you’d have to take an expensive taxi again - round trip with the airport being the closest option. The hotel offers breakfast and cup noodles to use with the kettle in your room."
