The hotel is close to the airport. The shuttle was easy to arrange and a friendly driver picked us up promptly. Our room was beautiful, clean and large. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this hotel especially if you want to be close to the airport. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Close to airport - great value Huge clean room, comfortable bed, very nice a/c, nice buffet breakfast with good coffee. Very good value. So close to the airport. Only addition would be a hair dryer, but certainly not a deal breaker. There is ongoing construction on the main road (7/24) which adds a little to the time travel to and from and the noise - also, not a deal breaker. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great staff ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Allan 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Good enough for a convenient stay near the airport ##### Allan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Joel Sumithra 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Close to airport and value for money ##### Joel Sumithra Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jaafar 9 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The receptionist were sleeping and not very ##### Jaafar Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tabitha 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was VERY polite and accomodating. ##### Tabitha Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Julius 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great for quick stopover near the airport ##### Julius Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lucy 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The area was very close to the airport ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > -
