I stayed 2 nights in the Kon Tiki Hotel's first floor small cabins: one night on arrival to French Polynesia from the USA, and the other the night before I left. Excellent stays both times. Clean comfortable rooms, convenient location for access to all that's in Papeete and to all the ferry services right across the street that go to many other islands. On both stays, the front desk staff was very friendly, efficient, and helpful - especially in allowing me to store luggage before my check-in time, and making my room available to me just as soon as a clean room was available. There's an excellent coffee shop on ground level where the service is equally good, and it's open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. There's also a lively rooftop open-air bar with a wonderful view over Papeete harbor looking toward Moorea that stays open late and is quite popular. A special shout-out to the young ladies at the front desk who can provide comprehensive information about tours, and work miracles to book any such tours and events. They helped me get an incredible last-minute tour of the Papeno'o Valley on Tahiti Nui, which turned out to be the best day of a totally wonderful trip to French Polynesia. They were also able to identify available options for me to see a Tahitian Dance Show with buffet, and once I had selected the show at the Intercontinental they booked my reservation there as well. The Kon Tiki charges a fair price, and I highly recommend them for a convenient & comfortable stay in Papeete!
