Located in the heart of Tahiti's capital city, the 91-room Tahiti Nui is an upscale hotel that appeals mostly to travelers in transit, thanks to its location, close to the airport and cruise port. While the spacious rooms and comfortable beds appeal to tired guests, the hotel's location on a busy street paired with dark hallways and common spaces in need of updating may leave guests feeling uneasy. There are features for leisure travelers, including a pool with attractive mountain views (but chipping tile) and a spa with a hot tub and steam room. Those who don't mind being a bit farther from the airport could consider Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort, which has a beachfront location.

The 75-room Hotel Sarah Nui is a value property popular with transit travelers due to its location a one-minute drive from the ferry terminal and 15-minute drive from the airport. This low-frills spot has little in the way of amenities, aside from a breakfast room, lounge area serving snacks and drinks, and free, reliable Wi-Fi. Although low on frills and showing lots of wear and tear, the rooms have cheerful decor, small flat-screen TVs (with one English-language channel), mini-fridges, rainfall showers, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Poor soundproofing and dim lighting everywhere don't help the property escape the budget feel, but its setting near onward transit and the popular Papeete Market (a 10-minute walk away) make it a convenient option. Travelers looking for additional features and a bit more local character should consider the Royal Tahitien.

The family-run Tiare Tahiti Hotel is a simple budget option for travelers seeking a short stay in Tahiti's capital city. It's a bit dated and worn, but the atmosphere is friendly and the interiors are clean and homey. There's not much in terms of features besides a daily breakfast that costs extra, a coin-operated coffee machine, and a computer for guest use in the lobby -- but lack of free Wi-Fi is a downer. Clean, air-conditioned rooms come with TVs, microwaves, electric kettles, and mini-fridges, but bathrooms are tiny and could use a spruce-up. The convenient location is close to a high concentration of restaurants and shops -- plus it's a short walk to the port. This is one of the only budget options in the area.
