9/10 Wonderful! (390 reviews)
Room smelled strongly of a strange chemical floral smell. Had to keep the window open to try and air it out. No food available nearby. There is a mall within a short walk that offers a Greg’s and a McDonald’s. The hotel is not 4 stars. It is a bit rundown. The staff are nice and try to be helpful.

8.4/10 Very good! (87 reviews)
Room was ready an hour early which was great after 24 hours of flying. Great surrounding areas for food and coffee. Room and bathroom was very clean and super quiet! Would absolutely stay here again. Great spot to still get around but not feel like you are super central. Staff was super friendly at check in. I recommend!

"Great location, but run down rooms and amenities. From the outside and immediate entrance, the hotel looked ideal with its great location (near to airport, close to city centre, literally next to the zoo).

"What to say...? My room didn't look like the one in the picture. I loved the bucket collecting water from the leak in the roof much more than the fluorescent green emergency exit light in my room above the door, which i couldn't turn off and kept me awake for 5 hours. It's cheap for a reason. You ..."
