Very, Very basic but clean and convenient for our needs. A coffee pot and proper shampoo , conditioner, lotion and a box of Kleenex would have been nice.

The room was spotless and the sheets were crisp and clean. The motel is set at the top of a steep incline. Definitely walkable if you have small bags, but it was a struggle with heavy suitcases! In fairness we were warned. We thought we would be fine. Not our best idea! Also, the path you can see as you walk out of the airport is gated and locked so you have to use the car route to walk to the hotel.

Ideal, you just have to remember this is a motel not a hotel. So limited facilities. Ideal location for the airport if you have a early morning flight arrival or departure, which most international flights are. Within a short 10 minutes walking distance if you are able as slght hill to climb. Pity the direct step access from across the airport car to motel have been closed off. The motel itself is clean, comfortable beds and I was not distrubed by any aircraft noise. They do offer a continental break at €10 but did not partake so can not comment on this. The staff we're very friendly and arranged a taxi for us for our onward travels. You can get some lovely views looking across to Moorea from tge second floor balcony.

Ncl debarked in Tahiti took taxi cost $34.00 for 4 people or take bus to airport for $2.00. It was too early to check in they held my luggage while we took bus to marketplace. We checked into hotel room was clean and front desk Red was so kind to call taxi service. I just need to stay 1 night and be close to airport you can walk but there’s stairs as you walk on airport grounds.

The property is pretty dated and needs some work. Rooms were sparsely decorated but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom and shower were roomy and clean. The rooms have air conditioning but the room never cooled down much at all. The area around the hotel are pretty run down.

Very important. If you are coming from Australia, New Zealand or other spots to the west, you will cross the international date line which means if you leave during the day on April 3 and arrive after midnight, it will still be April 3. So you may have booked the hotel for April 3 but check in is 2pm and check out is April 4. That won’t work. To be safe communicate with the hotel re your exact arrival and departure. Good news, the place has someone on duty in the wee hours to greet people arriving very late as we did. If there is a room, they will accommodate you. Numerous people goof up the reservation as we did but the guy at the front desk fixed the dates and had a room. That was a huge relief. If you are young, healthy and have little luggage you can walk uphill to the motel but for others take a taxi and be prepared with the local currency, XPF. We worked out a price of 2,000 XPF which is expensive for a short ride but the residents are poor and if you are in Tahiti, you are not. The motel was very basic but clean and the accommodation of the person at the front desk was priceless. We only stayed overnight and left the next morning to catch a ferry to Moorea so I can’t comment on anything else.

Very close to the airport, so it's a good place for short stay right after late arrival or prior to early departure. Spacious room, good shower. What bothered me most was their pillows: too high, I wasn't able to fall asleep on those pillows at all. Ended up bundling up my clothes for a make do pillow.

The hotel was fine, clean and decent sized room. But getting to the hotel from the airport is either a long hot walk or a super expensive and short taxi ride. We chose to walk - be prepared for a hill and getting very sweaty. At least there was a decent shower awaiting us. Also there is no bottled water in the room. A few small extras liked bottled water and a free or inexpensive airport shuttle would make this hotel so much better!

I found my room to be large and clean. The rooms are very basic: towels, liquid soap, t.v. with a few stations. You can walk to the motel from the airport as a couple arrived when I was there. However, as stated in a few other reviews, I would only walk if I had light luggage and good legs as it is uphill. It’s an acceptable and very convenient place to stay for a day or two in transit to other places.

On arrival at 5pm we were told that milk for tea was only available in the morning-pity our next flight was too early. No restaurant was food or drinks were available. Driving in and out of the motel was dangereous as the road up to the motel was very steep amd the driveway down into the motel was very steep- I recommend having somone watch the public roadway as you leave to avoid collisions

It was close to airport which was the best part. I would take a taxi from the airport, even though it is very close. The walk there is terrible, we went in the dark and the road it not lit and it is uphill. Felt very unsafe. It would be nice if there was a shuttle to and from the airport. The shower was not convenient the shower curtain is too short and the water just runs outside the shower area. We where on the top floor which the elevator doesn't go to so had to go to 3rd floor back outside and upstairs then back inside to the 4th floor. At least it had air conditioning.

The motel is located on a hill. Do not attempt walking from airport, it's a steep street climb. You will be exhausted and if you have large bags you may faint due to geat even at night. Get a cab, pay and be on site in 5 minutes. Do not walk.

We stay at Tahiti Airport Motel 5-6 times per year. The staff is always so gracious and accommodating. Quick and easy checkin/checkout. Incredibly clean. And you can’t beat the proximity to the airport. Great value!

The property was clean and a good location for flying. Most of the staff were really nice and helpful. Not much in the way of amenities, no wash cloths, no ice, and the breakfast was weak. Definitely served our purpose and we would stay there again. I repeat that most of the staff were great.

The rooms were basic, but very clean, nearly spotless. Our king bed was too firm and uncomfortable to sleep on. Although the hotel is very close to the airport (advertised as being 'across the street'), it would be cumbersome to walk to or from the airport if one had large amounts of luggage. The hotel is perched on a hill, via some winding and narrow streets with no sidewalks. The pricing is reasonable, but next time I would go elsewhere, especially if I had more than a roll-aboard bag.
