We did not enjoy our stay here. The room was even tinier than expected for the cost. People from other rooms sat all evening in the common room within feet from our door so there was little privacy. The shared bathroom facilities were alway busy, out of toilet paper, and not cleaned. The front desk staff were moderately friendly. Because it’s in a busy part of the city parking was an additional cost. But it’s in close proximity to the ferry and offered many places nearby to eat.

Incredible place to stay. Of course - a bit different with ‘hostel’ type rooms and baths - but really clean and secure. Great bar on the rooftop Personal super helpful

Great location in front of the pier and walking distance to the markets. Staff is efficient and friendly. Cabin room size is small as expected but beddings are comfortable. Perfect for a budget stopover for 2-3 days in Tahiti before heading off to the other islands. Hope the hotel maintains it's cleanliness and modern facilities

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The common bathrooms were often dirty with unflushed toilets, empty or unworkable soap dispensers, and wet floors. No provisions anywhere for your things - take a shower, leave your clothes on the floor in a break. Staff was rude and unhelpful. Access from a traffic standpoint is a nightmare.

Quiet and comfortable loft room
Stayed in the Kontiki Cabins, which is a small pod-like room with an elevated queen loft bed. Both the room and A/C were very quiet and the bed comfortable. Having separate toilet and shower facilities is less convenient, but the quiet and comfort were well worth it. Would definitely stay again.

Very good accommodation with air conditioning at a reasonable price. Coming from the north, I appreciated the AC. I did not prefer the men’s shared shower and bathroom down the hall, but it was not a concern. It was clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was one person staying in a single room. While smaller than even the smallest hotel room, the price was great for Tahiti. Sharing a lockable bathroom and shower with other guests was not a problem as there was always one available and the cleaning staff did an excellent job cleaning them after almost every use. The bedding and mattress was extremely comfortable. The room controlled AC worked great, it even came with a small bar fridge. Free coffee, tea and ice were available on the 1st floor lounge. The only improvement I would suggest to the owners is to put more coat hangers in the rooms as clothes and luggage storage areas are limited.

We were in need of a budget-friendly accommodation for an overnight stay, and Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki exceeded our expectations. The convenience, baggage storage, comfortable bed, and clean shared bathrooms made our stay enjoyable. While the ventilation in the bathrooms could have been improved, the small rooms were adequately air-conditioned. Despite their size, they met our needs, and the proximity to downtown, restaurants, and the ferry was a major plus. The front desk staff were also exceptionally friendly. Overall, if the chance arises, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Kon Tiki is so cute! The "Reeftop" Bar (roof top) and restaurant one floor below are stunning. Rooms and facilities are super clean, modern, and perfect for our needs. Great coffee and breakfast in the lobby area!
