The staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are all upstairs with no elevator. This was a perfect stay for a night between islands. We slept comfy with Air conditioning. We had a small breakfast included with toasts, cheeses, butter, jams, and juice. It was also located in the heart of Papeete so you can walk to the brewery, food trucks, or the market at any time. Would highly recommend this place for anyone on a budget or anyone in between islands for a night or two.

We got back from a cruise and needed a place to stay before a midnight flight that night. Staff here were awesome and very helpful. We were able to drop our bags in the morning so we could explore the area. Was nice to rest a few hours and take a shower before our flight. Conveniently located across the street from the cruise ship and a quick taxi ride to airport. There aren’t any frills as a hostel, but clean, quiet, and safe. Would highly recommend as the staff were really nice and helpful!

This is a great location to get to the Ferry…the Breakfast is wonderful. Most of the Staff is very good. The bedroom and all is clean and good. I had a problem with my bed it seems like there are wires out and when I got up I got hurt in my head from the lower bed… this was my third night there and this is the first time it happens… they need to check on this… I also had a problem with a Staff Member… sometime in the future I will let them know… other than that is very good

Very clean room, well located. Showers and bathrooms were very clean too. Staff was very nice. The only thing is that the room was a bit noisy. But I blame the hostel guests more than the hostel itself for this as some came in speaking quite loud…. But that is kind of usual in hostel. Overall, I would recommend this place.

The rooms are small... and the Mahana has place bunkers... I am in a women s one which for me... an older person is better... the beds are bunkers well built strong and with curtains of black material so each person can close it not to have light from others... also this reminds others to be kind and considerate to others... it has lockers without keys... ok each person can put things with locks in their bags... the under the bed space is tall so the suitcases fit... and each bed has a charger plug and a small light to have light in the bed... for people who have to get up at night and to leave in the dark. The bedding is neat and clean. The kitchen is huge and clean. All in light beautiful colors and art painted in the walls and decorated with apple green and white colors... very nice... toilet paper... soap in all bathrooms... I am up late and there is an attendant cleaning and doing guard in the place... i am very impressed.

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.

Très bonne guest house dans l'ensemble. Le seul problème pour moi c'est le check in a 14h Sachant que le vols french bee arrivent a 5h du matin ça fait long a attendre après 23h de vol... on m'a gardé mon sac a l'accueil et permis d'avoir accès a une douche, merci encore mais bon 14h ça fait un peu tard. Le personnel est super sympa le petit déjeuner très correct, je suis content de mon séjour.

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.

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.
