“Staying here requires an onward boarding pass, which makes it ideal for transit. Its location inside the airport is a major advantage, bypassing immigration hassles. The staff receives praise for their efficiency, and rooms offer a comfortable rest between flights; soundproofing could be improved, according to some.”

The location was very easy to find. The check-in process was simple. I was in my room within minutes of getting off my flight. The facilities were good for a quick rest. I was able to recharge before my next flight.

The check in line was long. I waited for over 30 minutes (it was frustrating). Otherwise, my stay was pleasant.

the location was certainly convenient for a quick rest during my layover.

the room lacked proper sound insulation. i heard noises from other rooms and doors closing often. the air conditioning system also seemed to have issues, as the temperature was difficult to control.
