Interesting place. Looks modern in the lobby. Free wifi so that was a pro for it. The showers are interesting.somewhat nice with pebble flooring. The first floor of the hotel turns into a club at night fyi so you will hear the noise depending on where your staying. The hotel is walking distance to some of the more populated streets but to be honest, the area isn't all that great. We were not impressed...and we certainly wouldn't walk around here at night. The advantage is that it's close to the ferry which goes to the other island Moorea. One thing to point out: They won't hold your luggage if you come back after you've checked out..although they will tell you otherwise. Additionally, we were only going to be there a few hours...we asked for a half rate and they said no even though we had been there previously. Customer service is so so.

This chic, modern hotel has a great location, warm staff and a feel of contemporary Papeete. Loves the bed with cotten sheets and the cool shower ( no bathtubs here) with the pebble floor and strong water flow! We got a room on the quiet side of the building facing the mountains- recommend it- and avoided the street noise. Had a great french dinner at Le Velvet ( $120 for two)--expensive, yes but again no different in a chic LA restaurant.

We stayed at the Tahiti Nui property after returning from our cruise on the Pacific Princess in March 2011. We selected this Hotel as we were returning to Canada the next day and wanted to experience the City fully including all aspects. Papeete is a diamond in the rough but the Hotel was anything but. The rooms are large, clean and the amenities are very agreeable. We were welcomed with style and found the staff to be cheerful and professional. As our flight was departing near midnight on the following evening we requested permission to use the pool after check out and were accommodated with grace. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the patio while our luggage was safeguarded in a storage facility behind the reception desk. The only complaint that we had was that the restaurant was quite pricey for lunch and we chose to go into town for our evening meal. Again, a good value and an excellent location. We were not bothered by any street traffic noise but then, we do come from the city in Canada. We will likely return to this property when we come back to Tahiti and come back we must.

The Hotel is very well located, the center of the town is a few blocks away only, the staff is very helpful, and it is fairly recent, for that it is good place. But it is not at all a "charming" place to stay, too modern, it doesn't feel that you are in Polynesia unfortunately. Our room #306, was located on Prince Honoi street, and despite the noise reducing windows, it felt like we were (trying) to sleep in the street! Also, coming from the Toamutus where all is open, green, fresh, getting into the Hotel Nui was getting in the dark! It is somber in there, the wood is black, the bathroom opressing.
The restaurant is also very dark, and the Choco Latte lounge too. We planned to stay 3 nights at the end of our trip to enjoy Tahiti, unfortunately it rained a lot and it was a holiday weekend so most of the shops were closed, and we were a bit stuck in town, and in the Hotel unfortunately! So for the location close to the center, Yes, it is a very good hotel (though next to it is a big gas station!), and it is clean, but for the charm...
Restaurant: we didn't try
Breakfast: the pastries were not great, but the bread and the jam were excellent. Morning tea drinkers, be aware that they only have green tea!
They have a Spa, a nice swimming pool, and a fitness room (with nice equipment)

Do not miss the "Roulottes" at the pier from 6:00 PM everyday! That's the place to go for dinner! At "La Roulotte" the Tahitian Fish cooked in coconut milk and lemons is delicious, and the "Honk Kong", the nems are awesome.
