The property is situated in a factory area. Having said that, its only a short walk to the harbourside for restaurants, bars, shops etc. I don't think you get great value for money anywhere in Papeete. The hotel is fine for a place to put your head for a night or two.

It worked but nothing special.
The hotel is super close to the ferry port, which is why I booked it. The staff were welcoming. It is also quiet.
The hotel is very worn. The breakfast was nothing special - cereal and tinned fruit.

Great Hotel near the Waterfront
Great hotel by the waterfront! Okay, the hotel itself is a little dated, but the staff could not be more pleasant and willing to accommodate. This hotel was perfect for a stay near the water at a reasonable price.

The front desk person who checked us in was super rude.
The photographs of the property showing the bedrooms, bathrooms and general description are grossly misleading. The hotel was dirty, unclean and had a dilapidated look both inside and outside.
I had a very comfortable 4 night stay at Hotel Sarah Nui. My room was spacious and had all the necessary amenities except a safe deposit box. I later found out that only some rooms have this. I was able to put certain items such as my passport in the safe located in the Reception.
The staff is very pleasant. The location was excellent- a short walk to the ferry, restaurants, shops and places of interest.
Very friendly and helpful staff, rooms are big and very clean, bed was very comfortable, luminous with big windows with efficient curtains for sleeping and keeping room fresh when sunny, air cond working well. Unfortunately it feels like the walls are made of paper, we could hear our neighbors talk. Good localisation in a quiet area, easy and safe to walk around.
Hotel Sarah Nui is a barebones, hostel like hotel in an industrial area that did not feel safe. It is NOT easy walking distance to downtown or the port.
This property is a perfect stay if you travel to Moorea by ferry because it’s 5 minutes walk to it. The hotel is clean, spacious rooms and easy walkable to restaurants and shopping areas.

The hotel is little old. Old furniture, but clean rooms. Room service excellent!! Great Wi-Fi.
The hotel is running down. It needs a renovation. However, the attitude of one of the front desk clerks needs improvement. When my wife's computer could not connect to the wi-fi, I asked the front desk for help. His first reaction was: "You didn't do it correctly." Indeed, we followed all the instructions. Later he said I didn't use the upper case, but actually I did. When the computer was slow to reboot, he said, "your memory is full." I think he mixed up the RAM and the hard drive. My profession is IT-related. At the end he could not fix the problem. Later we fixed it on our own.
Was really good for a very old hotel. Floor creaked and uneven but very clean.
Bed very comfortable.
Was very quiet so good sleep.
Could leave some little milk in fridge for the 2 coffee sachets they left.
No plug in bathroom sink.
Would stay there again for one night as walking distance to ferries.
