    Central spot to visit.

    As the rooms are up in the hill if you have suitcase it could get heavy.

    This is a great central spot. I was here for one night but will come back again if I ever come back to Tahiti. Breakfast was a good spread. The cats and chicken are a good addition to the welcome party.

    No sigle cup ir glass or water in the room. Restaurant refused to serve hot food when we arrived around 20.30.

    Hotel provides free transfer from the airport and to the ferry, which is very convenient. Room was very clean. Restaurant on the spot with a nice terrace to enjoy food and drink.

    We used the room as a resting place between a cruise and our flight at 9:10 pm. The room was very basic but that is what we needed. A good shower and a bed. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The transportation to the airport was needed, included and very much appreciated.

    Perfect short-stay accommodation
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    A slight downside is that wi-fi is only available in the terrace/restaurant/reception area which may have been a nuisance if our stay had been longer.

    We had a very short stay but really liked the simple accommodation offered by Fare Suisse. From the friendly and on time complimentary pickup from the ferry wharf to the early morning drop-off at the airport we couldn't fault it. Our bright en-suite room appeared to have been recently refurbished and the large shaded terrace/restaurant was very welcoming. The area is very quiet and safe though it was only a short walk downhill to the main esplanade of Papeete with its lively shopping, eating and entertainment opportunities.

    Tahia is very friendly and greeted us when we arrived. The property and room specifically were very nice, clean, and comfortable. The room and bathroom were nice, with a comfortable bed and nice shower. This was a convenient place for our early flight the next morning. Tahia arranged for a 4:30 a.m. taxi for us with someone she frequently uses so we had high confidence that a can would be there in time. And, of course, the driver was early. This was a great place!

    A convenient, cosy, hassle free welcome to Papeete.

    Wifi was only available at the restaurant area - but after a check in and a quick call, we were in bed to get up to explore, bright and early. The restaurant area is very open and inviting.

    The complimentary shuttle to the airport and back was really convenient. It took the stress out of arranging transport for a quick turn around i.e. landing in Papeete and then leaving the next morning for one of the islands. The place looks more cosy and nicer than the pictures. There are also couches and chairs scattered around the hotel and a toilet and shower that could be used, which was convenient for when you returned after exploring the city which is easily reachable in 10-15minutes, and had time to wait or the shuttle to the airport. The staff were very helpful and went the extra mile.

Breakfast was only bread,jam,lunch meat,papaya,grapefruit and very dry old watermelon. Coffee was good. Yogurt was watery and not refergerated . It was warm. Chocolate bread was good. Pizza had too much cheese and center was too doughy. We had pepperoni and tahiti pizza Second day we decided cook our own dinner and breakfast .Champion grocery store 2 blocks away. We had kitchenette in our room..

    Staff were very helpful . Comfortable room- Bora Bora family room with kitchenette. 2 adults nice to have extra space. Air conditioner worked well. Loved rain shower. Nice outdoor pattio.

    The charge for continental breakfast was high for what you get. There wasn't enough food for everyone and not enough tables. There was a problem with the toilet that was not repaired during our stay.

    Free pickup from the airport. Quiet room. 5 minute walk to main road of Papeete.

    The “Free Shuttle” claim is deceptive. We had service from airport but not to cruise port, which was within walking distance. We were charged $50 per person for a 7 minute ride! I was told at Reception a taxi would be up to $200. There was no refrigeration available and the restaurant ran out of ice daily.

    Common area was comfortable and food was good. Location was ok, but there was no information given about where anything was regarding stores, food shopping and the marina area. Another guest mentioned it to us.
