Categories

Cleanliness
6.6
Mixed reports: several guests mention dirty rooms, tobacco smell in carpets/curtains and a broken shower/glass door, while others report clean, large rooms — overall below average but not uniformly poor.
Service
9.4
Generally praised as friendly and helpful in many reviews (easy WhatsApp communication, helpful reception), with a few isolated but serious negative incidents (rude staff member, long wait for hairdryer, taxi partner issue, refusal to issue invoice) that slightly reduce the score.
Location
10
Consistently highlighted as a major positive: very central, near shops/cafés, about 20 min to the airport and convenient for transfer — noise from the street/area noted but location itself is excellent.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms are often described as large and comfortable with good bathrooms, but complaints include lack of windows in some rooms, dark appearance in others, occasional tobacco smell and broken fixtures — overall decent but inconsistent.
Amenities
7.8
Basic amenities are present (transfer arranged, hairdryer available) but there are service hiccups (slow provision of hairdryer, no hot water reported by one guest) and unclear breakfast inclusion; overall functional but uneven.
Value for Money
9.9
Frequently described as very good value or unbeatable price-performance; multiple guests call it a good value option for an airport stay.
Food and Beverage
6.2
Breakfast is repeatedly criticized as sparse, different from photos, and not always included in price (small selection: one boiled egg, veggies, ham & cheese, bread); coffee/tea available but limited beverage selection.
Overall Experience
8.2
Mixed overall: strong positives for location and value and generally friendly staff, tempered by cleanliness issues, occasional service incidents and noise — reflects an overall good-but-imperfect stay.

terrible
Cons:

One of the staff members had a really bad attitude and was very unfriendly. It took him over an hour just to bring a hairdryer, and because of his unkind attitude, this stay was very unpleasant and uncomfortable. The room was dark and dirty, unlike the photos, and the shower glass door was broken. The breakfast was also different from the photos, just a simple meal.
I want the unkind man to know that as long as you're kind, our stay will be comfortable no matter what kind of room it is.

Pros:

Good rooms and breakfast.

Cons:

The receptionist refuses to issue an invoice.
Also, we asked him to call a taxi to get us to the metro station. He called "a friend". It was a horrible experience. The driver lied to us about going to the metro station and took us to the airport instead. Disrespectful and his style of driving was dangerous, we didn't feel safe (two women with children)! I know the hotel is not responsible for the taxi driver but they should choose more reliable partners. I had much better experiences in other hotels before when they called a taxi.

Pros:

Location was super, 20 min from the airport. The room was clean.

Cons:

Nobody mentioned that the breakfast is not included in the price and the breakfast could be better. It had one boiled egg, veggies and ham&cheese + bread. Coffee/tea is included, no juices.

Stopover Hotel nahe am IST
Pros:

- Sehr freundliches Personal, easy Kommunikation via WhatsApp
- Metro Fahrzeit zum IST unter 20min, Metrostation ist zu Fuß in ca 15min erreichbar
- zahlreiche Restaurants, Cafés, Läden (ua ein großer LC Waikiki) in unmittelbarer Nähe
- Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unschlagbar

Cons:

Obwohl alle Zimmer Nichtraucherzimmer sind, roch es so, als wäre früher geraucht worden wäre, vor allem in Teppichen und Vorhängen hängt dieser sehr unangenehme Geruch. Ich hatte das der Rezeption mitgeteilt und anscheinend ist das Problem bekannt und wird bearbeitet.
Durch die zentrale Lage ist es ziemlich laut.
Die Kombi aus Zigarettengeruch bei geschlossenem und Lärm bei geöffnetem Fenster war für mich leider sehr unangenehm und ist der Grund für die “gut” Bewertung. Ich hatte aufgrund meiner Flugverbindung ohnehin nur eine Nacht gebucht, aber ich wäre vermutlich keine zweite Nacht geblieben.
Schade, denn ohne den Geruch wäre das Hotel sehr gut und empfehlenswert.

Good value option for a overnight airport stay
Pros:

Only 20 minutes from the airport and the hotel organised the transfer for 60Euros return. The room was clean and a reasonable size. A fe wow the light bulbs needed replacing but that is no big deal. Sure friendly staff. Very central for shops, cafes and places to eat.

Cons:

There was a reasonable amount of road noise and not great noise isolation between the rooms. hard to get to by public transport.
