Günstiger sleep-over
Pros:

Sie ist leicht vom Flughafen aus erreichbar. Auch zu Fuß ( v.a für Backpackers) ideal um dem Jetlag zu entgehen.

Cons:

Eigentlich in Bezug auf Preis Leistung Kultur hatte ich nichts zu bemängeln.

ottima posizione, tutto il resto mediocre.
Pros:

solo la posizione che per partire la mattina dopo è vicinissimo all'aeroporto.

Cons:

ho trovato in stanza le ciabatte sporche di un precedente ospite, la pulizia lasciava molto a desiderare, il lenzuolo era solo quello sotto e non quello sopra, la doccia perdeva da tutte le parti, sulle pareti c'erano mosche schiacciate, si trova nel mezzo di un incrocio trafficatissimo dove tutti i mezzi suonano in continuazione il clacson giorno e notte.

Good for one night
Pros:

We choose this place for our last night, before our flight. Actually we didn't even spend the night there, just a couple of hours before flight. The place was ok for that. We were in the room that looked on the street, and it was very noisy. For sleep you would definitely need some earplugs. It was very near the airport, I think it took us max 10min on foot, and that was great. In the hotel there is restaurant (we ate rice with vegetables and it was good), and near there are some small stalls with food, and a grocery shop.

Pros:

Prima als je een paar uurtjes moet overbruggen tussen taxi en vlucht. Sanitair was schoon maar kamer was heel heel erg gehorig. Het is 10 minuten lopen van de departure terminal.

Pros:

Nära flygplatsen. Bra rum och sängar. Bra boende om man bara behöver ett enkelt rum för övernattning

Cons:

Wifi fungerade inte så bra. Svag vattenstråle i duschen, svårt att lyckas skölja ur håret

Pros:

I made a reservation but they told me that they didn't get it. Finally they got my reservation and they told me they don't have any room not. And send to another hotel. However I reserved 2 rooms , they no water and so small and not clean and very uncomfortable. I really don't like. Do not go there.

Cons:

No water to shower and no hot water. 2 rooms are so small and dirty. And not even prepared to get the customers.
