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. ##### Jacques Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jasmine 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location close to the harbor and was a good stay for a night. ##### Jasmine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance 29 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great base for exploring the Coromandel Peninsula Very friendly welcome and roomy accommodations. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F3447DD575C513D2E2E28F933886C01528CE69991672332536819.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lance Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Najib 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location very convenient and clean ##### Najib Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Esther 23 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great overnight after a long flight The staff were wonderful.

Super central location. Walking distance from the Ferry to go to Moorea and 1 Minutes walk from the Market and all the shop. Common area are spotless. ##### Gladys ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graciela 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Graciela Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bryan 19 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great before a late night flight 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. ##### bryan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean hostel. 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. ##### Joan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rei 18 Nov 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No hair dryer!!! Stinky towel. Terrible breakfast (only baguettes and jam). No shuttle from/to airport. There are other facilities that provide cleaner and cheaper accommodation WITH free airport shuttles. ##### Rei Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matt 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### Adequate crash pad for a night this is a fine, bare-bones hostel in a good location. The main problem is zero sound insulation. Any noise in the room next to us sounded like it was happening in our room, so it was hard to sleep. Harsh fluorescent lighting. The one window in our room opened into the hallway where the main ceiling light shined right in our eyes in bed, and we couldn't cover it because there was no curtain. ##### Matt Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacqueline 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Summary: okay stay. Not perfect, but I would stay again. 3.5-4/5 stars Positives - air conditioning in room - fridge/kitchen - surprisingly, despite there being only 6 showers for the entire hostel, I never had to wait - location: ten minutes or less to ferry - privacy curtains on beds - enough clearance under bunks to keep your suitcase - quiet--not a party hostel - breakfast provided: bread, cheese, oranges, spreads, coffee/tea - reality clean, though I think the bathrooms could use a clean - was able to leave my bags for a few hours and they even let me take a shower before heading to airport Needs Improvement: - wifi range a bit spotty and slow at times; need more bandwidth (or whatever the term is) so that it's faster. Also needed to be re-set at times - lockers in women's dorm dont actually lock - remotes for the A/C should not be kept in the room. The hostel should agree to a set temperature and keep it there. I stayed here twice and both times there was disagreements between dorm mates about what the temperature should be set at - need a mirror in the dorm - no windows in female dorm - breakfast ends a bit early @ 08:30 - I needed a computer to check-in for my flight, as my phone died. Hostel staff said they were not allowed to assist, even when I proposed they stand there and watch me input my info. - one of the bathrooms has no soap dispenser - no hot water in kitchen. This is a bit concerning in terms of sanitizing shared dishes and cutlery. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MITSUKO 25 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities マルシェ・ルロット（屋台）も間近で 非常に便利｡個室もあったのでよかったです。 ##### MITSUKO Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graciela 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities This is a great location to get to the Ferry…the Breakfast is wonderful.

Petite fenêtre dans la chambre donnant sur le couloir. La chambre est petite mais parfaitement fonctionnelle. Le sol des toilettes un peu sale le soir mais nettoyé très tôt le matin avant 4h. Bon état général des installations, lieu agréable. Merci encore à l'équipe ! ##### Karine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sylvain 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mauvaises odeurs dans la chambre et insectes ##### Sylvain Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Steven Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### M 6 Apr 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No internet, noisy and cockroaches We booked this place for one night before leaving at midnight to fly out of Tahiti. The staff were friendly and we were happy when checked in. The location is really good. You have to take shoes off in the hostel, including the toilet which can wet your socks (possibly water, likely pee on the floor). Whenever I needed internet, it wasn't there. It hardly exists whether you're in the room or lounge. (Their excuse was that they were full but it's still not okay.) We checked in and we closed the window which opens to the hallway. When we came back a couple of hours later, the window was open for some reason. We also saw a couple of cockroaches crawling on the bed. We only used the room to store luggage during the day and have a wee snooze before our flight but it barely met the expectation, with cockroaches on bed and almost no internet. I wouldn't be able to sleep multiple nights. It was good that towels were provided but they smelled. I rarely give poor reviews but it was not a pleasant experience staying here. ##### M Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guillaume 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bonne auberge je recommande 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. ##### Guillaume Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024
