10/10 Exceptional

The property was excellent overall and offered excellent value. The one thing I did not like was the indigent people hanging out right outside the property who were smelly, smoked and sometimes made bad comments. They weren't too bad but they should not have been there.

2/10 Poor

No internet, noisy and cockroaches
We booked this place for one night before leaving at midnight to fly out of Tahiti. The staff were friendly and we were happy when checked in. The location is really good. You have to take shoes off in the hostel, including the toilet which can wet your socks (possibly water, likely pee on the floor). Whenever I needed internet, it wasn't there. It hardly exists whether you're in the room or lounge. (Their excuse was that they were full but it's still not okay.) We checked in and we closed the window which opens to the hallway. When we came back a couple of hours later, the window was open for some reason. We also saw a couple of cockroaches crawling on the bed. We only used the room to store luggage during the day and have a wee snooze before our flight but it barely met the expectation, with cockroaches on bed and almost no internet. I wouldn't be able to sleep multiple nights. It was good that towels were provided but they smelled. I rarely give poor reviews but it was not a pleasant experience staying here.

Great before a late night flight
We used this as a place to stay before out late flight out of Tahiti. It worked perfectly. We had a nice bed to rest on, a safe place to store our things while we explored, and a good bathroom to clean up in before our flight. I would certainly book here again for this same purpose.

Very helpful staff. Super central location. Walking distance from the Ferry to go to Moorea and 1 Minutes walk from the Market and all the shop. Common area are spotless.

6/10 Good

Adequate crash pad for a night
this is a fine, bare-bones hostel in a good location. The main problem is zero sound insulation. Any noise in the room next to us sounded like it was happening in our room, so it was hard to sleep. Harsh fluorescent lighting. The one window in our room opened into the hallway where the main ceiling light shined right in our eyes in bed, and we couldn't cover it because there was no curtain.

The staff were wonderful. The location for visiting Papeete was first rate. The accommodation was clean and the breakfast simple but ample.

4/10 Fair

No hair dryer!!! Stinky towel. Terrible breakfast (only baguettes and jam). No shuttle from/to airport. There are other facilities that provide cleaner and cheaper accommodation WITH free airport shuttles.

Clean hostel.
I stayed here as a day room before a late night flight. It’s convenient for the things I like to do in Papeete. Le Marche and food trucks. I’m too old for top bunks so only used room to store my things! They did try to accommodate my request for a low bunk.
