Keep your expectations low.
Pros:

It was handy for the airport.
The hosts were pleasant.

Cons:

It was shabby and very noisy, located on a very busy road.
Had to carry heavy luggage up flights of stairs.
It was an amateurish operation that i was pleased to leave as soon as possible.

Rena fräscha rum bra transfer hotell, hjälpsam personal!
Pros:

Väldigt fina rum, bra sängar! Närhet till flygplats, men ej så nära att det går att gå upplevde vi! Sov knappt en natt då vi flög ut 04:00. Fick hjälp med att boka taxi till Flygplatsen 1300rupies. Väldigt fräscha och rena rum!

Cons:

Några säger att man hör trafiken, men vi blev inte störda av ljud från närliggande väg. Bra transfer hotell för en stund innan nattligt flyg.
Kan bara rekommendera!

Pros:

Хороший отель для того, чтобы передохнуть до или после перелета. Были с семьёй, пробыли в отеле 12 часов перед полетом, нас хорошо приняли, разместили, есть паркинг на 2 машины. В номере чисто и просторно, хорошая терасса со столиками с лёгким освежающим бризом, при жаре в +33. Рядом неплохой ресторан в соседней гостинице. Так как отель находится у дороги, то немного шумно от проезжающих автомобилей, только когда они сигналят. В номере был телевизор и wifi. Администратор заранее договорился о трансфере в аэропорт, в 2 часа ночи без опозданий нас с улыбкой проводили до такси. Спасибо большое 🤝 очень теплые останутся воспоминания!

Pros:

Flink personale. Kom med en juice til værelset efter ankomst.

Cons:

Ligger ud til en hovedvej. Støj hele natten fra biler og hotellet nærmest rystede når fly fløj over. Værelset og badeværelset lugtede indelukket og muggent. Følte mig indespærret og fik ikke sovet. Ingen faciliteter på hotellet så kunne kun opholde mig på værelset.
