The hotel impresses with its clean rooms, convenient location near the airport and beach, and friendly staff. However, some guests found the rooms small and uncomfortable due to old furniture and noise.

Beach just behind the hotel. Including breakfast and dinner, airport transfer is chargeable, USD15 per room for pick up and return. Overall, it is good for business travellers.

The hotel is nice but unfortunately it is on the main road. The noise from the road is loud enough to keep you awake, and it goes on all night!

The hotel was clean, the staff were helpful and made the stay and transfer to the airport smooth. However, the room was next to a busy road that was very loud, and also very close to the call to prayer area very early in the morning. So we didn't sleep properly.
