Very basic but clean room. Bed was very firm and a/c very noisy. No elevator so had to carry luggage up and down 2 flights of stairs. Area is not somewhere you can walk out of the secure gates.

Professional frontdesk staff
Mr Mdu, front reception is a very professional n friendly person. We had ab existing booking from December 31st to January 2nd. Due to some plan changes had to add another day to this booking. Tried calling, spoke to the GM of hotel but no one was willing to help. Ended up making a separate reservation for night of December 30th. Mdu when checking in made sure that both reservations are tied together n we had the same room for our duration.

Very close to airport. Walking distance. Ideal for a one night stay. Neat rooms and shower facility is good. No lifts though, so you'll have to walk up the staircase with you bags.

I had an excellent stay on joth occasions. The staff were helpful, professional and very cheerful. Perhaps some consideration might be given to installing a lift, particularly as most people have large/heavy luggage.

It’s a very convenient airport hotel scoring 2* or maybe a 3* but in terms of convenience and 8 minute quick walk from landing to reception - priceless. Gates open at 5am at the airport if you intend to walk back to airport for the next morning flights. Rooms were small and basic. TV was non existent but if you have a laptop or iPad - WiFi was OK. I have used this airport lodge hotel before for the shear convenience of not paying and stressing with taxis the next day . Happy to recommend it

All the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. It's an excellent, low cost hotel thats super convenient for layovers at the airport. Easy walk through safe area, or cheap Uber ride if feeling lazy or have large amount of luggage. Bad reviews are very unfair, as with everything it's all about managing expectations. For the price you simply can't fault this hotel. The food is excellent and great value too. I will definitely stay here again.
