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.

Pros:

Close to the airport, great to catch some sleep before an early morning flight. 24/7 reception makes it perfect for a transit hotel.

Pros:

If you need a reliable, clean, and supremely convenient place to stay for a layover, late arrival, or early departure, this is the one. It handles the needs of the air traveler perfectly. Highly recommended!

Clean and close for cheap and chearful transit stay.
Pros:

Close to the airport and organised transfer and were there for us late arrival. Clean room, choice of pillows. Bottle water in room. And good A/C.

Cons:

Only thing would be the trickle of a shower but really for just a transit it served the purpose.
