Staff was friendly and very helpful The room wood floor boards are loose and paint peeling around shower enclosure. I paid extra for daily breakfast. Not worth the price. Eat breakfast outside. For these reason I do not recommend this hotel.

Great property on the beach, make sure to bring water shoes as the coral is sharp and is mixed in the sand. This property is close to everything worth seeing and about 20 mins from the ferry dock and 30 mins from the airport.

The staff was good, but the hotel is in disrepair. Broken items throughout room - drawers, hooks, closet doors. And it could use a good cleaning. The comforter smelled. The neighborhood is a little seedy. No pool. The bed was comfortable. The “terrace” is two chairs on the top floor in a small patio.

Photos of the botel are very misleading. We booked 2 double rooms. 1 was much smaller than the other and missing hand towel. There were blood stains above the toilet roll paper. The duvet was stained. The bed had broken springs. There was mould in each of the corners. It was absolutely awful. We used a chair to block each door as the locks rattled and did not feel safe. Also when you walk along the corridor its slanted as the floor is not straight. And no lighting. A number of lights were out. Don't stay here. Coming from the Hilton Moorea where it was lovely this was awful. Thankfully only 1 night stay before we flew out.

Easy and fast place to stay in if you want to go directly to the ferry the next morning. But keep a look out. It’s not a 4 star hotel. Doors open with one metal key. Not a key card. The elevator is a bit small so just 2 people and 4 small bags of luggage will fit. They do have a little food Resturant down near the lobby. But it’s nothing special. Convenient if you just want to stay there and not spend a lot.

We stayed two nights before taking the ferry to Moorea. The hotel is a short walk to the downtown (5-10 minutes, maybe 15 to the Papeete market). Affordable, clean, good AC and staff was helpful.

Sarah Nui is a nice budget hotel. Personnel are very nice. The Ferry Harbor is very close. Wi-fi did not work in the room but was fine in the lobby. Water in the shower was a bit cold. A good experience overall.

Nothing fancy, but comfortable and clean hotel with friendly, welcoming staff. The place is showing its age, with some missing fixtures in the shower and bathroom, but our room was clean and comfortable. There's a lot of construction going on around the hotel, so getting around on foot is a bit rocky. However, the location, just a few blocks from the ferry terminal, makes it an ideal location for short stopovers between island hops. The onsite cafe has great pastries and a nice assortment of entrees for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just snacks. A good value and our main complaints were minor - the traffic noise outside and the loud closings of the very solid room doors.
