easy overnight stay NEAR airport

easy arrival helpful host tidy room decent price

my arrival was very smooth, i just picked up my key. it was ready at reception. the host was helpful, he lent me an adapter, which i VERY appreciated. the room was pretty tidy and decent for the price. the bathroom even has a bathtub, imagine that!

everything was fine for ME, but the walls do seem slightly thin so you might hear some noise from OTHER guests.

convenient airport stay

quick train convenient drop-off helpful staff short walk

the train connection from the airport is very quick, just 4 minutes. a short walk of about 10 minutes from the train station brought me to the location. arranging a ride back to the airport was easy, as the owner, ahmed, provided the drop-off service (i appreciated this a lot). i think i would have booked a pickup from the airport too, had i known about the service earlier (especially with luggage). the staff were cute and helpful.

the garden had building materials, appear slightly unkempt.

The location worked good for me. The staff was friendly, so I did appreciate this a lot. The breakfast did offer fruit and breads, which I liked. I did get help with a ride to the airport. This was very helpful.

amazing stay!

clean room organized space great location short walk

I loved how clean and organized everything was. our room had so much space, it reminded me of a suite. the location is perfect. It is close to many restaurants. i really appreciated the short, seven minute walk from the train station. it was easy to walk with our luggage and even golf clubs. the route is straightforward. I needed to walk straight for five minutes and then turn left.

The lighting near the door could be better. It makes using the keypad difficult at night

Ahmed, the host, was cute and accommodating. I booked a family room before an early flight. The room was quite clean and included an en-suite bathroom, this made things easy for our family. Breakfast offered juice and coffee along with a continental selection. It was simple but satisfying.

The sink plug looked like it had not been cleaned recently. It was rather unpleasant.
