The airport transport service of no charge was nice and convenient. Other amenities are basic. If you are looking for a place near the airport to stay overnight, it might work.

EARPLUGS!!!

The place is sandwiched between the runway and a mosque, so it's NOISY! However, the staff area amazing, really friendly, and we're still staying there again despite the very broken sleep!

Very basic.

5 minutes to airport. Shuttle was free but there maybe a wait for pickup. We paid for a car and used hotel shuttle to return to airport. Should be a 2 star property. Reasonably clean. Hot water ok and air conditioning worked. Restaurant was minimalistic but the food was fine.

Good only for an overnight staybetween flights

Very good at contacting us to arrange airport pickup. Met at the airport by friendly staff. Hotel is in a not so desirable area so basically just to stay over night between flight and do not leave. They have a "kitchen" with very limited menu but staff is very friendly to do whatever they can to help Good if you just need a cheap overnight but would not stay for anything longer then that.

I checked in very late and the service could not have been better. The call to prayer can be heard before 5am and when flights pass over they shake the entire structure. None of this woke me up though. Free shuttle to airport is convenient. The place is clean and cheap.

Good for an overnight flight connection

Close to airport (maybe a bit too close as you could hear planes landing occasionally all night long). Extremely comfortable bed. Small cramped room. Quite new. Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast room was very small with two tables and very limited food selection. Ceiling hatch to attic area was partially uncovered and unattractive. No elevator so staff helped carry luggage up several flights of stairs. Window screen in bathroom was half open and too high to reach to close so we got many mosquito bites during the night. It was not the hotel's fault but Expedia did not send our booking info to the hotel, nor our request for a taxi pickup (as advertised for $5 each way) which made it annoying that we had to haggle to get a taxi at the airport when we had thought it had been arranged.

So much to say here. Not a bad place tbh but a few things really need to be worked on; hot water in my room just trickles, toilet did not flush or refill completely after each flush, had to ask for towels, etc The airport transfer is really not free. Four guests were going to the airport; 2 were put in the van but my partner and I were put in a random driver’s car who demanded an exorbitant payment on dropping us off at the airport saying he had no business with the lodge.
