It was not clear that the hotel could not be easier accessed by a quick walk from the airport. You should advise guest of the access issues.

close to the airport. bus stop outside the hotel. Staff very friendly.

Air conditioning, lift from ground level to elevator, lighting in hallways.

Basic accommodations conveniently located and visible from airport exit. It says walkable but longer than 10 minutes and uphill. Also, if traveling at night there are dogs on adjacent property that may be loose and sound large that bark through the night. Path is not very well lit. Also, when located on any level, there are stairs to get to a base level in order to use the elevator which is difficult if you have heavy luggage or a lot of it. That being said rooms very very clean, hallways and common areas as well. Air conditioner in one of our rooms was not enough for the size as we had a family sized room. Efficiency accommodations at best but you will not miss your flight!

Staff was not as friendly as we are now used to in French Polynesia. Coffee making was just one coffee per person.

The hotel perfectly served its purpose of giving us a few hours of good sleep before a very early morning flight.

Easy place for those layovers as it's in walking distance from the airport. Large comfortable bed made for a good rest between flights.

there’s a steep uphill section, so it’s a bit tiring with luggage. By taxi, it’s around 2 minutes and costs $25.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the airport

Close to airport less than 15 minute walk. Great value with late check in and early check out. Perfect for short stay with early flight departure. Rooms very clean, excellent shower and air conditioning. Everything you need is provided.

The Tahiti Airport motel is a reliable stay ahead of your international flight. The rooms are clean and on the larger side and the hotel is only a few minutes from the airport. Check in and check out are fast and you can buy food/drinks in the lobby if you want to.

Shower pressure and temperature wasn't the best.

The main attraction of this hotel is its proximity to the airport. It couldn't be much closer. Despite this, it was very quiet. Nice fluffy towels. Beds very comfy. Very clean. Cold AC. Friendly staff.

There are no services or facilities directly outside the hotel, such as bars or restaurants. You may need to head back towards the airport for food, ATM machines or drinks at a bar. This hotel is near the airport, not in the centre of Papeete, so you may need to take a taxi (or bus) seven kilometres into central Papeete for bars, restaurants or any sort of nightlife or sight-seeing. There is no room service or minibar for your convenience, and the breakfast buffet seemed very basic and minimal, with no hot food that I could see, just tea/coffee and cereal, so I did not avail myself of this service. But, overall, given the close proximity of the airport, I would stay here again, and having a staff member on duty 24/7 was a nice feature.

This is a 'transit hotel' for passengers using the nearby Tahiti Fa'aa Airport. It's certainly close to the airport and you can see the hotel perched on the hillside when you walk out of the airport terminal. The hotel is a couple of hundred meters away) but it is reached by an extremely steep and winding road. People will tell you it's a walkable distance, but given the steep uphill climb, it can be a very difficult walk if you have much luggage. You can take a taxi, but please be aware that MANY taxi drivers throughout French Polynesia do not take card payments - many accept cash only. In regards to the room itself, it was basic but clean. It is nothing like the OWBs (over-water bungalows) advertised at expensive resorts throughout the islands of French Polynesia, but it is nowhere near their astronomical prices, either. Apart from that, I appreciate greatly that this place has a staff member on duty at reception 24/7. That helps with any teething problems when settling into your room on the first night, such as when I could not get the air conditioning unit to turn on and cool my room. The female receptionist came to the room very quickly and fixed the problem for me. The window to my room also had a view of the airport, with pastel waters and sailing boats behind it in the background, which was nice.

Location: it is across the airport, 10 min walking distance. With a lot of heavy bags you should take a taxi. In case you don't carry much, you can make it walking. Way up is a little bit heavy, but way down is ok. It's a good hotel for one night while you are waiting for your flight, especially for late night flights.

Noise isolation could have been better. There are late departures and early arrivals and we could hear them.

The room we booked was as large as 2 standard rooms, with one king bed and 2 beds (not sofa bed) for the children. Location is perfect to catch a flight from PPT airport. Very clean room and common areas.

The access walkway that was recently paved between the hotel and the main road leading toward the airport is blocked. That makes the quick access longer since you have to walk an extra 3 blocks to get to the airport on steep terrain.

The location is perfect for those needing quick access to the airport, which is just 200 yards away. Although; I would recommend taking a taxi due to the steep terrain. (it's about $23.00)

The convenience of the motel being open 24/7 to service the airport, does mean that it is slightly noisy as guests check in and out of rooms throughout the night. Facilities are minimal within the rooms.

Location is excellent for access to the Airport. Easy to access by car or by walking. The motel is very clean with friendly staff, fully air conditioned and the rooms have big beds which are comfortable. Flight noise is minimal. Supermarket located a short 5min walk away which is handy.

"Across the street" is a bit more than it sounds. WAY UP and across the street. Take a taxi to get there unless you have a bit of mountain goat in you. You can walk back to the airport since it will be downhill. It's not that I "didn't like it," it's that it is the only thing that is negative - you just can't walk right to it. Wait. There is one negative: if you are not youthful or not strong or not athletic - the hotel is on the side of a mountain - ask for a room on the first three levels. You will use the elevator to go as high as the 3rd floor but you have to hump your bags from 3rd to the fourth (but it is on street level if you decide to walk to the airport).

Across the street from the airport. The rooms are very nice though basic. Beds are first rate. Bathroom is perfect. The rooms are well-designed. The AC is great - you could hang meat. Pretty nice view out the windows (I've only stayed on the 4th floor)

Very odd not to have luggage storage, other than a screen in the lobby!

It is convenient to be close to the airport before an early flight. The room was comfortable, with a hot shower and fluffy towels.
