Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally reported as clean rooms and tidy grounds, though a few guests noted a room that wasn't as clean as it should be.
Service
7.1
Mixed service: some staff described as pleasant, but multiple reports of billing errors (charged breakfast twice), unaccommodating or rude breakfast staff, lockout incident, cot setup failures and phone hang-ups.
Location
9.6
Consistently praised for exceptional proximity to the airport and terminals — repeatedly called perfect for very early/late flights and very convenient for transfers.
Room Quality
8.9
Comfortable beds and generally clean rooms; some guests found rooms small or noted minor issues (e.g., single bedside lamp, lack of AC on warm days).
Amenities
8.2
Good on-site amenities mentioned (relaxing dining area, sky bar, convenient room service for early/late flights), though not extensively discussed.
Value for Money
7.2
Frequently called overpriced for room size and for breakfast; extra fees (e.g., runway-view surcharge) and exchange-rate refund issues lowered perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Dining area and menu positively noted, but multiple complaints about breakfast service (rudeness) and billing problems; some found breakfast costly.
Overall Experience
9.7
Overall very positive due to unbeatable location and comfortable rooms that suit airport travellers; service and value issues noted but did not outweigh convenience and comfort for most guests.

Pros:

Very close to departures

Cons:

Few mess ups, charged for breakfast twice and not very accomodating - paid money back but cost us in the exchange rate. Went back to room at 8:30am and locked out of everything had they had checked us out and check out not until 11. Rectified but staff not over friendly and breakfast staff were actually rude.
