The service was very helpful and the rooms were clean. It’s a very cheap hotel, but there was a horrible cigarette smell inside.

The receptionist was helpful, to be fair, but the place felt like a rough hostel. There were smokers hanging out of room windows and what looked like deals happening in the car park. In the end, we left and stayed somewhere else, giving up the payment we’d already made.

The airport bus station is right outside, which is a real plus. This works fine as a budget place for one night, like for an emergency or a layover. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable, with no bedbugs lol, but don’t expect luxury or extras like hangers, drawers or a kettle. The hotel smells really moldy, so anyone sensitive to that should avoid it. For a one-night budget stay, though, it’s a fair option for the price.

Late check-in after midnight was handy, and the process was quick. The room had a large, comfortable bed, so it could work for just one night. Beyond that, it felt more like a motel or hostel than a 1-star hotel. There was poor ventilation and it was hard to breathe, plus nowhere to hang clothes or store belongings. No kettle or mugs either, and just one towel for two people. The toilet and shower were shared and outside the room. In the bathroom, you had to keep pressing a button every 4-5 seconds to get water, which made showering uncomfortable.
