“See u around guys!”
As usual just great. Love the staff, not just their professionalism but the general vibe, great functional facilities and exceptional level of shared facilities… it seems the shared bathrooms and showers are being cleaned almost every hour (I don’t know exactly but one get’s the impression with the details of folded up toilet paper just for the statement of yep we were there again and cleaned for you!) just really great.

“Amazing happy to stay there again!”
Hands down one of the most genuinely helpful, friendly and competent staff I’ve ever seen! Check in wasn’t until 5hrs after my arrival… I could still freshen up and use the upstairs lounge area already and when I wanted to drop my luggage into storage until check in time I was given the key to a room that was already cleaned immediately. And that’s just one of many positive situations. Great clean shared facilities in the polynesian cabin area, amazing location. Overall just positives.

“Quick stop perfect option”
Great stop before the ferry, small cabins but you really don’t need more space. Common areas are great and the bathrooms are modern. Great aircon and comfortable mattress

Great location. Coffee and food in the cafe downstairs were really good and obviously very convenient to reach.

Is it very cost effective as I stayed in a cabin, which is low budget, small in size but great location and facilities, especially for short stays.

“Great hotel, highly recommended”
Overall we spent a few nights over 3 weeks in Kon Tiki (1, 1 and 3 nights), it was really convenient as the location is just next to the port from where all the boats and ferries depart. When making the reservation we haven't realised that the cabins don't have a private bathroom, which was ok for one night stay, but at the end we were supposed to stay there 3 nights, and we really wanted to upgrade our room. The staff was super helpful and let us do it, so we ended up in a really spacious hotel room, with a private bathroom. The hotel was really clean and the standard was great. The rooftop bar is just amazing! We had such a great time in Kon Tiki and would definitely stay there again!

“Amazing! Will stay again!”
Location, convenience, amenities!! Ferry terminals are just across the road with the roulettes in between each one for cheap food. I loved the whole thing. The kitchen, water dispenser and ice machine on the patio was my favourite part!! I travel a lot and most of my budget goes on buying water alone so this was amazing value for money
