Создается впечатление что цену которую мы заплатили, а цена за одну ночь просто космическая , была мала для них попросили заселится на два часа раньше нам сказали что нужно доплатить , 😟 как заплатив такую цену неужели нельзя пойти на уступки

Pros:

Close to restaurants

Cons:

They don't inform you that the hotel is beyond customs. So you need to take out the items you will need for your stay and then check in your luggage before you go through customs to get to your room. Very inconvenient.

Si vous n’avez pas d’autres choix et si vous n’avez cure de cotre budget, n’hésitez pas ! Sinon.. fuyez !
Pros:

L’emplacement en zone duty free. Très pratique !

Cons:

Le concept, les cellules (chambres ?), les prix honteux y compris les suppléments vendus à l’heure pour rester 1, 2 ou 3hrs de plus à cause d’une heure limite de check-out volontairement tôt, le petit dej trés trés médiocre.

Do not stay there.
Pros:

Nothing. I liked Nothing about this location and staff. Giant scam to have multiple locations around the airport and when you arrive at the "wrong" location, you get charged more in order to stay in the room. In the morning the staff at the café were less than helpful. Awful experience.

Cons:

Everything. Would not recommend, 0 stars.
