Cons:

Die Preise für die Schlafkabinen sind zu hoch. Leider ginge es bei mir nicht anders, als dort zu übernachten. Und für nicht mal 12 Stunden Aufenthalt ca 270€ pro Person ist es echt zu teuer.
Außerdem hört man alles, was im Flur und in den anderen Kabinen passiert bzw. geredet wird, was Einschlafen schwieriger macht. Und Licht hat irgendwie komisch funktioniert, wie man es richtig an und ausmacht, habe ich nicht verstanden und meine Taschenlampe benutzt.

Мы хорошо отдохнули между перелетами, спасибо большое!
Pros:

Быстрое заселение, удобные матрасы и подушки, безупречно чистое постельное белье!

Cons:

Номер был заполнен запахом сигаретного дыма. Он шел и из вентиляции в туалете и также из кондиционера.

Enjoyable and restful in a nice,safe,and pretty clean setting
Pros:

Was very convenient,once we found the hotel. The route we we took made us go through security checkpoint again. About a 15 min wait to check in because of long line, maybe one line for confirmed reservations would be nice. Our family of 4 adults was very comfortable in king suite with bunk beds. Was very easy to get some rest before our 8:00am flight. Just a 15 min walk to departure gate

Cons:

Shower: door wouldn’t close all the way, a little mold in corners, drain didn’t drain properly.

Very convenient stay within International Transfer.
Pros:

The hotel is very clean, comfortable and very well located for International transfer.

Cons:

Definitely over priced. It is understandable as it doesn't not have competitors inside the airport (other than Hilton). Yet, for the same price, services could be more refined and exclusive.

Some important things should be improved
Pros:

Very comfortable for a night layover, everything needed is available

Cons:

Smell of urine in the shower, absolutely unacceptable, should take more care to cleaning and clean the bathroom more often. Lack of towels in the room was a problem as well. No complimentary water in the room is a big disadvantage. No wake up service.
