Great choice near the port.
The location and quality were an excellent value for the price. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The young woman Bevia (?) on the evening shift at reception went above and beyond in her helpfulness!
We would definitely stay there again!

Very clean, fairly priced and convenient location. Was perfect for an overnight stay- waiting on a flight to leave the next day. Highly recommend.

Fantastic location
The most outstanding aspect of the Maitai Express is its location in the center of everything. If you are taking a cruise, taking the ferry to Moreea or shopping in the expansive market this is the best hotel in Papeete.
Our room was comfortable and clean and the front desk staff was very helpful.
The only negative we encountered was the toilet which was mounted so high from the floor that our feet couldn't touch the floor when using it

Central city hotel close to Moorea ferry port
Very central, modern city hotel, close to Moorea ferry port. Very nice staff, our flight was delayed and we did not arrive until 01.00 hrs but still able to check in. Restauranrs and bars close by.

Good place to catch a cruise ship
Newly remodeled, so everything is new. The rooms are small. In Tahiti, there is no pool. Good location for catching a cruise ship, since it is just across the street from the dock.

Clean and well located. Painfully noisy on Friday and Saturday nights until midnight otherwise quiet on other days. Breakfast was very poor and costs too much. Not enough amenities.
