Exceptionally clean, modern, and private facilities, including bathrooms which were shared but cleaned regularly.

Great location and friendly staff!
Jose Melvin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quick and easy checkin. Clean facilities. Great location across from the ferry terminal + walking distance to Papeete market. Gentleman at the front desk was amazingly helpful with recommendations on places to visit and drive to around the island.
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap yet comfortable

The cabins are very small but comfortable. The shared bathroom is cleaned regularly. I would stay here again if back in Papeete. Good location for getting on a cruise ship

Great Hostel-type Rooms!

I stay here when i need to be in Papeete. Its convenient to the businesses i need to frequent, the property is in excellent condition and the staff is friendly and helpful. The hostel rooms are great, especially because the hotel is convenient to everything I need.

Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Brandon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly, helpful staff at Reception. Comfortable bunk bed, near bathroom facilities. Good breakfast, no hassle, would definitely recommend to other travellers - good central location almost opposite the inter-island ferry terminal too.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

Great staff service ! Very nice restaurant and rooftop bar. Proximity to ferry terminal is great!

I wasn't sure what to expect with a community bathroom but I can't complain. Everything was great, right across the street to take the ferry.

Surprise fee for storing our luggage

Overall, our stay at the Kon Tiki Hotel was pleasant — the location is excellent, right across from the ferry terminal, and the facilities are modern and comfortable. However, as returning guests, we were quite disappointed to be charged an additional fee for storing our luggage during our trip to other islands, even though we were coming back to stay at the hotel again. This policy feels very unreasonable and is something we have never experienced at other hotels. It’s a point the hotel should really reconsider, especially for repeat guests.
Linfei, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Inexpensive cabins (hostel like). Clean washrooms down hall and nice dining areas. Across from ferry and short walk to cruise pier.
Deborah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be better

This was our third stay at the Kon Tiki Hotel, but unfortunately it was the least satisfying. The room we were given this time was very small and felt quite cramped, with barely enough space to place our luggage. On top of that, despite the fact that we were returning guests and stayed for several nights in total, the hotel still charged us an additional fee for storing our luggage while we were away. This was disappointing and felt unreasonable, especially considering our repeated stays.
Linfei, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

TINY room! We had to leave 2 of our bags in the shared hallway. The bunk bed had a straight metal ladder that was not easy to climb. Thin walls! I could hear everything in the hallways. I compare it to a jail cell (that I've only seen on TV of course). The shared bathrooms/shower were HOT with no fans. The wash basin area had no place to put a toiletry bag even.

Was just fine
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Darlene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jong, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Helen, 1-night trip

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.
