1
Mixed: several reviewers call rooms clean, but multiple complaints about dirty lifts, outside corridor/shoplot area and occasional faint sewage smell.

Generally praised — staff (named Yatie) went above and beyond and were helpful with late check-ins; however reception closing early (not truly 24h) is a noted downside.

1
Strong positive: very close to the airport (runway views), short transfer time and good area with cafes, mini-mart and food/drink options nearby.

1
Mixed: comfortable, large bed and good use of space with runway views for some rooms, but issues reported including a windowless room, flooding/overflowing bathroom, low shower pressure, poor/no TV connection and inconsistent hot water/AC.

Hotell for en natt, for den som ikke er så nøye på hygiene
Pros:

Nære flyplassen og mattilbud

Cons:

Vanskelig å finne hotellet. Det var møkkete, i dusjen var det noe som så ut som snørr på veggen, og dusjdørene var møkkete. Var møkkete i kriker og kroker.

Geeignete Unterkunft für eine Übernachtung in Flughafennähe
Pros:

Das Zimmer war groß und recht komfortabel. Allerdings hatte es keine Fenster. Wir haben gut geschlafen und haben die Nähe zum Flughafen geschätzt.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr schwer zu finden. Die Suche hat eine Stunde Zeit in Anspruch genommen. Es wird kein Frühstück angeboten und im Geschäftskomplex gibt es nur ein begrenztes Angebot von Restaurants oder Frühstücksmöglichkeiten. Im Zimmer war es sehr hellhörig. Vor allem hörten wir die Klospülung nenachbarter Zimmer.

A really good value hotel which was clean and comfortable in a good location. I left an item in the room after check out and the staff kept it to one side for me to return and pick it up. Yatie went above and beyond. Thank you.

Reception not 24 hours, dirty surroundings
Pros:

The aero view room was spacious for a short stay and could see the runway. Near to cafes and convenience store. Filtered water offered in the corridor.

Cons:

The lifts to the rooms were dirty and scary. The outside corridor and surrounding shoplot area is dirty. Reception closed at 10 pm and is not 24 hours as stated in the description. No lights in bathroom.

Great hotel with the best staff ever.
Pros:

Firstly my Flight was delayed by 6 house so I asked to check in at 12.30 am. They were super helpful. Then it got delayed again but they were still so kind and helpful and stayed open until 2.30 am. I loved the room. Very comfy huge bed. Very good use and of space. I loved the view of the runway and plan to rebook for the night before I fly out.

Cons:

Everything was perfect
