What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Luxurious Comfort

The room was spotless and felt really luxurious, not like a transit hotel at all. The beds were super comfy too, and I think the rooms must be soundproofed because I barely heard anything through the night.

Refreshing Shower

The shower was great and there were lots of toiletries provided, which made for a refreshing experience after a long day of traveling. It was a welcome sight after being on the go.

Excellent Workspace

The working space and Wi-Fi were an absolute dream – I was able to quickly catch up on tasks before heading to sleep. It’s perfect for anyone needing to work during layovers.

My stay was quite turbulent, starting with the room that was unfortunately smoke-filled and had broken lights. I was also disappointed by the lack of basic toiletries like shampoo and soap. The breakfast experience did not impress me either, and the multiple fire alarms interrupted my sleep. On the brighter side, the staff was very friendly, which helped ease my frustrations a bit during my visit.

The hotel has a modern vibe with clean and comfortable rooms, but my stay was marred by some frustrating issues. The breakfast left much to be desired, and I had a pretty noisy night thanks to fire alarms going off multiple times. For the price I paid, I expected a quieter stay, but the location within the airport was undeniably convenient for connecting flights.

My stay at the hotel went well overall. The rooms were comfortable and impeccably clean, which I really appreciated. The service was helpful, but I did encounter a few minor inconveniences. The location within the airport is ideal for transit passengers, which was a huge plus for me.

The hotel is conveniently located within the airport, making it so easy to catch connecting flights without going through immigration. My room was clean and comfortable, but I did experience a bit of annoyance with a leaking shower tray. The service could definitely use some improvement during check-in, as it took a while due to a long queue. Overall, while the value for money is decent, there are areas that could be enhanced, especially in terms of service speed and the dining experience.

My stay was a mixed bag. The location within the airport was super convenient, especially for an overnight layover, but the rooms left much to be desired with maintenance issues like leaking showers. Service was friendly but struggled to keep up with demand, and the dining options were very limited and not very appetizing. Overall, I appreciated the easy access, but I think the hotel needs to address several areas to enhance the experience.
