Tahiti Airport Motel

Well we have stayed here a couple of times as we’ve had late flights so it was about a 300m walk from the airport BUT now the access has been fenced up so you can only get to the hotel via a taxi for $2000XPF. The others stays were ok. ||We arrived late - after midnight. Check out strictly 11am. If you wanted later even 30 minutes it would cost $2000XPF. ||The room was tiny but bed was comfy. The room was so hot as the air conditioner wasn’t on and took an hour to cool it down. No ice available. No bath mat or face washer. No soap shampoo or conditioner. I thought the whole purpose of staying at a hotel/motel was so you didn’t need to bring this stuff. ||I booked this through Qantas hotels. I’m shocked you’d want people to stay here. Never again!

This place is worth 4 star rating. Although it is basic, the rooms are very clean with reasonable size. It is close to the airport so it is convenient for someone who has an early flight.

Don’t let how close the hotel looks fool you! lol You cannot go directly up hill to hotel. There is a gate welded up on north side of hotel, you must walk around and come up from the south (learned that the hard way). See attached photo. No airport shuttle. Taxi was 20USD to get back to airport. Soaked my shirt walking to hotel. Good way to work off eating too much! Nice to shower before our 8 hour flight back to US.

Be aware of the hills when walking, we arrived at midnight and had no issues (torch on ours phones to light the way) very steep though, we only had carry on luggage so not an issue, would not do it with large heavy suitcases.

Clean, affordable, close to the airport, and quiet, it met all of our post-flight needs. I have no complaints. The family room worked well for this family of four.

outrageous, had to avoid, my suitcase wheel broke by the time we brought our suitcase up the more than 20 minute road. We booked this hotel because it is close to the airport, our plane arrived at dawn and in the dark we had to carry our suitcase up the mountain on an unknown, unlit road, among barking dogs. The hotel is not accessible from the front, only from the back. It is outrageous why in such a case they don't wait for guests with a car down there, it would have only been 3 minutes by car, instead we walked 20 minutes, we got lost twice because there is no lighting on the road. The road is full of holes and potholes, there are no signs, it is not clearly indicated where to go. There are no signs. No one should book here, it is worth taking a taxi quickly at dawn and going to a normal hotel. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone again.

Their description on hotels.com site is very misleading. They say “3 minutes walk” from the airport. Well unless you are Superman who can put your luggage on your back and fly, that is impossible. We called the hotel asking how to walk there and the front desk staff told us to take a taxi. The taxi charged $25 for a 3 minute ride to the hotel and $35 from the hotel back to the airport. Do not waste your money on this place. Find a place that offers airport shuttle.

The closest hotel / motel to airport. To reach You need to walk uphills for 10-15 min, but back is really easy 😁
