Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that feel like private apartments, complete with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. While the shower initially had issues, hot water was available, and there were thoughtful amenities like mosquito repellent. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff who graciously provided an additional room at no extra charge. The location is ideal for quick stays near the airport, though it can be tricky to find by cab. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with well-prepared dishes but some shortcomings like missing toast. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, resembling a private flat. Although the room was clean and well-presented, the bathroom fell below standard, and a hot shower after a long flight was not feasible. The service was extremely helpful, friendly, and flexible, graciously providing an additional single room at no extra charge, but being two hours late for airport pickup. The location, though not very nice, seems safe and suitable for a short stay between connecting flights. The dining experience was just okay, with some shortcomings in the menu fulfillment. The facilities were subpar, lacking certain elements expected.
The hotel is primarily suitable for a quick stopover between flights. The rooms are decent for resting briefly, but the location is quite inconvenient, especially for transportation. The pictures of the hotel and rooms do not match reality, so manage your expectations accordingly.
The apartment is spacious and can accommodate 5-6 people comfortably, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living area. Unfortunately, the bed had soiled sheets and blankets, and there were no clean towels provided during our stay.
