Great Stay – Very Convenient for Airport Transit I stayed at this hotel for one night during a layover, and I was pleasantly surprised. The location is excellent — just a 5-minute walk from the airport, which made everything very convenient. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall value for money is very good considering the proximity to the airport. Breakfast was also decent, with a good variety for a quick meal before heading out. I was initially hesitant to book due to some negative reviews I had read, but my experience was positive. The hotel met my expectations, and I would definitely consider staying here again for future transit stays.
All good

If you need to stay one night close to the airport, look no further, this hotel is very close, staff are really nice and friendly, food is OK and reasonably priced (breakfast was included), beds and bathrooms are clean. It is very close to the airport, but due to construction around the airport it is VERY difficult to walk or get there on your own. Do take the offer of a taxi to/from the airport for a very reasonable US$5. We stayed one night there and then returned a few days later and we were able to leave there a suitcase that we did not need to take, nice touch. There is Wifi, not the fastest, but good enough to check your emails if needed.
There are TVs but no channels as it required a subscription to Azam TV and the hotel did not have one or had not paid. The rooms on the left side are quieter than the rooms closer to the bridge, if you can choose the quiet ones. Neighbourhood looked a bit run down, but we did not leave the hotel anyway.

The staff was very courteous and helpful. We only stayed 1 night to catch an early flight. We had a transfer booked through the hotel, which was very easy and efficient. Rooms are good size and clean. Bathroom clean. We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant and it was very yummy. Excellent to use as an overnight hotel, 5 min from the airport
The one thing we did not like was but it's not the hotel's fault, there is a nightclub or something across the road and it played loud music all night, I am a light sleeper so not great... We had only 1 small blanket to cover up at night but we were too tired to ask for another one

The location was very convenient for a short layover, just a few minutes from the airport. The staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in and check-out quick and easy. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and there was air conditioning — perfect after a long flight. A light meal and bottled water were provided, which was a nice touch.
The facilities are basic, so it’s not ideal for a longer stay.

Super kind and welcoming staff, helped me calm down a bit when I realized I’d lost some cash out of my wallet (it was not the property’s fault in any way, so they really went above and beyond in showing that they cared). Room was comfortable and clean. Ate at their restaurant for dinner and the food was a good price for a generous portion, and very delicious! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant stay near the airport.
The location was a bit difficult for me and my taxi driver to find at first, expect the road to get there from the Main Street to be quite bumpy, especially in the rain. Google maps indicates that the entrance is on a different street than it actually is, actual entrance is around the corner.

Its close to the airport, good for those who have flights very early in the morning and need to wait a lot of time. Everything was very clean and bed is comfortable, air conditioner is in good conditions, and the staff is very nice and helpful.
The breakfast could be better, but for the price I think is ok

Overall good, transfer driver and receptionist were helpful. Location excellent for transit passengers, room size was workable, quiet and clean.
Bathroom window didn't close so we felt exposed, hot water tap mixed the wrong way which meant we wasted much water before we discovered hot was cold and VV, Breakfast would have been better e.g friendlier service, cold milk for cereals, cold water as part of the drink selection.

The staff were super helpful and accommodating! They made sure we had food to eat (in the middle of the night for our very short stay), and transfer to and from the airport. Everyone was very nice and the room was nice and comfortable as well. Highly recommend!

Lovely and friendly staff, very quick and easy communication beforehand. Airport shuffle very smooth and easy to organise. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was self service which was good for a quick and easy breakfast before going to airport.
Couldn't find air con remote in the room, hot water didn't seem to be working, and can hear noise from the street

Very kind staff replying swiftly to messages, very decent breakfast for this type of hotel, airport transfer was very good and not expensive!
Unfortunately there’s a bar close by, they play loud music until quite late at night. The AC was working but couldn’t cool that much.
