Pros - rustic charm in a very convenient location with very useful airport shuttle. Cons - bathroom had terrible smell, no Aircon - the room was so hot had to leave patio doors open 24hrs. Easter island is really safe but still felt uncomfortable not being able to lock the room up.

Tupa Hotel is primitive compared to a budget hotel in the US. No AC in any of the rooms & humidity is about 75-80% every day with temperatures only fluctuating a couple degrees per day & night. March 2026 78 during day, 75-76 at night. Only the receptionist speaks English. Breakfast is deli meats, cheeses, bread, coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit. The staff is incredibly friendly & do their best to accommodate your stay. Chickens, horses, dogs roam loose. Groups of guests can be extremely rude, self-righteous, and pretentious. This is a good choice to sleep & shower but luxury it is not. If you’re here to experience the island, stay at Tupa. If you’re here for a world class experience, pay a lot more to stay somewhere else.

Our room and certain common areas were clearly dated but overall our stay was very good. The staff is very nice and the pick up and drop off at the airport was a great perk. The hotel is centrally located and you can walk to town and all the dining options.

Convenient airport shuttle. Convenient location that is an easy walk to main downtown area. WiFi only worked in breakfast area and was spotty even there. Rooms were mediocre/rundown - floors and walls were dirty. Hot water was sporadic. Bathroom was moldy. Bed was comfortable but had bits of dirt or sand and a couple of dead bugs in it. There is no A/C. It probably was a nice hotel at one point but has not been updated or maintained. Staff were helpful but did not seem happy to be there.

We booked a sea view room which in the Expedia description mentioned as a renovated room and were allocated to a garden view room that was far from being renovated.
On a hot day, the room gets smell of plumbing, there was insects in the room, we got a broken window in the bathroom and overall the room was very old, including the linen used in the bed.
Although there's the bad side, the hotel is in a very convenient location, you can walk into town and to the airport as well, and even tho the room was not the best, it had a comfortable bed.
The breakfast was a continental breakfast, simple but enough to get you going for the day. The transfers to the airport are a great service the hotel offers.
The best part of the stay was their team. The people working in the hotel were lovely and helpful. So, they made up to the down side of the rooms.

The staff were all wonderful— friendly and so eager to help with everything. The location was fabulous. Logistics were the only issue: no hot water, very warm room, the screen door didn’t lock and big gaps allowed mosquitoes in. Definitely works for an affordable place to sleep.

The location is beautiful and close to everything. The hotel is older and needs some upgrades, but clean and the staff is wonderful. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is good and you can get cold and hot water all day long for tea or coffee. Also they can help you with booking tours around the island. All in all it’s been a great experience.

Check-in at 3pm, not 1pm like advertised. We booked to rooms, in both rooms the showers were broken (and been like that for a long time - as the units were rotten from water damage). Patio doors on both rooms don’t lock. Calling the rooms ‘rustic’ would be exaggeration, dated or hostel level would be appropriate. Cockroaches visit everyday (the large size that can fly) and you get woke up every morning at 5am by cockerels. Keep an eye on the chicken, they are friendly but cheeky and will come int the room on their hunt for food. Staff friendly but also seem to prefer being on their phone more than doing their job. Breakfast buffet very basic, but staff try their best. Airport pick up was great, but drop off you need to keep an eye on the time and remind staff to get you to the airport on time. WiFi works at reception:lobby area and is free and reliable.

Outdated property with good staff and nice vibe. The shower did not worked, most of the hotel has noticeable issues with humidity and requires repairs. The breakfast was below average but heard that is the standard across the island, although the food in general at the island was really good (specially sea food and ceviche). The tour operators from the hotel were great as well as the cleaning and service staff.

The accommodations are modest, at best. The service is generally not welcoming or friendly. The breakfast was disappointing. Everything was minimalist. The clean towels appeared dirty and had nasty stains. I would say that it lacks love, care and attention from leadership or ownership. The best I can say is that the bed was comfortable. It was expensive for such a poor quality and level of service. I would not recommend it.

The staff at Tupa hotel is very helpful and speak excellent English. This is not an island where you find luxury hotels. The facilities are well-worn and basic. Given you accept that, you would do well to book Tupa hotel for the kindness and service. Bed was comfortable. Storage plentiful. Location convenient and they were wonderful about picking me up at the airport and taking me back. On time and efficient. I had an ocean-side room with a sliding door that opened on a mini-patio. One thing you should know is that the cleaning person always left the sliding door open to air out the room. This helps prevent mildew in this tropical climate. So don't leave valuables lying around. This wasn't an issue for me since I don't travel with any valuables other than my passport and money, which I keep with me at all times. One thing I wish I knew before I went was that they can book you tours at the hotel. I booked separately and had an awful experience on the tours. Check with them about tours when you reach out to book. A beautiful island that is still rustic.
