10/10 Exceptional

Great location

This hotel was clean and quiet and had very nice staff. The location was amazing being so close to the ferry terminal and walking distance to the marche.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great transit hotel

The hotel is very convenient to downtown Papeete and across the street from the cruise terminal. We stayed one night between our flight from US and early morning flight next day to Bora Bora. We stayed again 2 weeks later after exiting our Paul Gauguin cruise before flying home. It is just a few blocks walk to the Market.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The water in the shower did not get warm.

Nice Hotel with Incredible Staff

Our stay at the Maitai Express Tahiti was great. The staff were some of the friendliest and helpful of any hotel staff I've ever experienced. The room was clean and comfortable. If we ever make it way back to Tahiti, we would definitely stay at the Maitai Express Tahiti again.

You'll like this hotel

We stayed there 4 night 2 weeks apart. It's a great hotel right in the middle of the cruise port area. The rooms were small by American standards, but immaculate and comfortable.
Jerry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

MaiTai Express Tahiti is the perfect spot to unwind after a long international flight or before catching a ferry. The location is great, especially since it’s just a short walk to the famous market and plenty of places to eat. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff kindly let me store my luggage after check-out so I could explore without worry. I’d definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers

Transit Aranui

2 nuitées avant d'embarquer sur l'Aranui, en face de l'hôtel, position centrale, excellent choix, bonne récupération du vol et décalage horaire, bref, tout bien !

Bien situé

Très bel hôtel, réception accueillante, très bien situé en centre ville à proximité du ferry et de la zone vivante de Tahiti.
Emmanuelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. Entire facility looks new and clean. Given our 5am airline arrival, we really appreciated a very early check-in, which was not expected but really made our jet leg day!

gio, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Bof bof

Cet établissement a bénéficié d'un cache misère au niveau de la façade, ça parait moderne mais ça cache un vieux bâtiment mal rénové. Fenêtres simple vitrage, coté avenue c'est très bruyant, les fenêtres ne ferment pas complètement on entend très bien la circulation! Je n'ai pas pris le petit déjeuner, il est très cher et très peu fourni, il faut soit l'améliorer, soit diviser son prix par 3, ça ne vaut pas plus. Hébergement très cher pour ce que c'est. Stationnement payant, pas moyen de trouver de stationnement gratuit la journée, seulement de 18h à 8h du matin dans les rues autour. Quartier bruyant, on ne se sent pas très en sécurité la nuit dans les alentours.

4/10 Fair

not the best experience

The elevator was incredibly slow. The room was sparse and I had to unplug a light as there was no other outlet. The initial key didn't work, so I had to take the elevator to get a new key. Worst was that they charged my card a day before I arrived at the property (not my experience with Hotels.com reservations "pay at the property"). The credit card flagged it as fraud and not recognizing the charge, I agreed with the resulting hassle of having a new card issued
