Pros:

Start with the good - staff was friendly and always helpful. Also, proximity to airport is big plus and probably the only reason people stay here. Rooms were small with aged furniture. Wifi was spotty to no existent unless standing immediately next to front desk. Overall - ok. A little investment and renewal/upgrade by MGMT would make the facility much better.

Close to the airport- easy spot to get a meal
Pros:

Woodpecker is close to the airport and I've always passed it but not stopped to see what it's like. This year I met a friend there for a meal and the food and service was good. Had good range of options from local dishes to more Euro/American dishes.

Pros:

This property looks okay at night but during the day it was terrifying. The building still not completed basically it’s just a building site. The service is poor. The complimentary pick up is a joke. They will not leave until the airport is empty out and you were forced to wait in the airport for over 90 minutes.

Pros:

This is a very cheap hotel near the airport so a good location for a night’s stay before flying. It is very basic and tired but very cheap. You would not spend a holiday there. Transport to and from the airport worked well although the mini bus was extremely battered.

Hotel is zo dichtbij de luchthaven. Dit hotel is echter een aanrader.
