My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The prime location near the metro station was a definite plus, but the condition of the rooms left much to be desired due to humidity and cleanliness issues. The service could have been friendlier as well. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for value for money close to the airport, but don't expect luxury here.

I had a really mixed experience at this hotel. The location is very convenient, being close to the airport, but getting to the city center was a hassle due to construction. The service left much to be desired, as some staff were rude and unhelpful. While the dining options were quite nice, the rooms themselves were poorly maintained and carried unpleasant odors. Overall, it was not ideal given the price I paid.

The hotel has a decent location, particularly for those needing to be near the airport. The rooms, while spacious, unfortunately had a musty smell and appeared a bit outdated. Service was hit or miss; some staff were friendly, but others seemed unhelpful. Overall, there are definitely some pros, but the constant mold smell and uncleanliness were major drawbacks.

However, I faced issues with my room being outdated and having a strange smell. The dining options were decent but could be improved, and the service felt a bit lacking at times.

The rooms were spacious and equipped with essential amenities, although they felt a bit outdated and had an unpleasant smell.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found the location to be quite convenient, especially if you want to be closer to the airport. The staff at the entrance were friendly, but unfortunately, the service overall was lacking. The room had a bold decor that felt a bit dated and didn't offer a cozy atmosphere. The dining options were underwhelming, with hidden costs that left a bad taste. Overall, while it has some positives, there are several areas that need improvement.

I had high hopes for this hotel, especially with its great location near the airport, but my experience was quite disappointing. The room I received was more like a basic room than a 'Superior' one, with a musty smell and several electrical issues.

All in all, it was not the value for money I expected.
