Cabin took us by surprise
This was a fabulous place to stay for a few hours before our early morning flight. Set in a great location by the ferry terminal and near lots of restaurants and shops. Even though this hotel bas a 24 hr bar and lots of activity we didnt hear a thing from our cabin room. The shared bathrooms were very nice, a separate toilet and shower cubicle all to yourself with a locking door and toiletries provided. Reception was great, we pre ordered a taxi for 2am and it turned up slightly early. What we werent prepared for though us that the bed was only accessible by climbing a ladder to it...once up there it was great..tv, air conditioning and great lighting, not to mention really comfortable bed. We re checked and were definitely not aware of this, lucky we were able but felt anyone with balance or mobility issues would definitely have an issue. I hoped that once i was up there that i didnt need to use the bathroom during that time.

We did not enjoy our stay here. The room was even tinier than expected for the cost. People from other rooms sat all evening in the common room within feet from our door so there was little privacy. The shared bathroom facilities were alway busy, out of toilet paper, and not cleaned. The front desk staff were moderately friendly. Because it’s in a busy part of the city parking was an additional cost. But it’s in close proximity to the ferry and offered many places nearby to eat.

Highly recommend
Incredible place to stay. Of course - a bit different with ‘hostel’ type rooms and baths - but really clean and secure. Great bar on the rooftop Personal super helpful

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

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.

Quiet and comfortable loft room
Stayed in the Kontiki Cabins, which is a small pod-like room with an elevated queen loft bed. Both the room and A/C were very quiet and the bed comfortable. Having separate toilet and shower facilities is less convenient, but the quiet and comfort were well worth it. Would definitely stay again.

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.

I was one person staying in a single room. While smaller than even the smallest hotel room, the price was great for Tahiti. Sharing a lockable bathroom and shower with other guests was not a problem as there was always one available and the cleaning staff did an excellent job cleaning them after almost every use. The bedding and mattress was extremely comfortable. The room controlled AC worked great, it even came with a small bar fridge. Free coffee, tea and ice were available on the 1st floor lounge. The only improvement I would suggest to the owners is to put more coat hangers in the rooms as clothes and luggage storage areas are limited.

If you get one of the tiny pods, you’ll save money… but make sure you know what you’re getting into! Staff was friendly and helpful. Facility was clean.

Nice clean accommodation very close to cruise terminal. Room was small as descibed and shared bathrooms were nice and well mantained. Perfect for one night stopovers.

We were in need of a budget-friendly accommodation for an overnight stay, and Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki exceeded our expectations. The convenience, baggage storage, comfortable bed, and clean shared bathrooms made our stay enjoyable. While the ventilation in the bathrooms could have been improved, the small rooms were adequately air-conditioned. Despite their size, they met our needs, and the proximity to downtown, restaurants, and the ferry was a major plus. The front desk staff were also exceptionally friendly. Overall, if the chance arises, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
