I arrived late, staff on duty were kind and helpful. The room was good with warm water shower, except toilet seat need repair. Convenient location for airport travelers.

Vi brugte kun hotellet til en enkelt overnatning, da vi skulle videre dagen efter. Vores fly fra Zanzibar var forsinket 2-3 timer, så vi ankom først omkring kl. 02.30. Personalet var allerede gået i seng, men de stod hurtigt op for at tage imod os. De var meget søde, venlige og hjælpsomme, selv om vi kom så sent. Næste morgen spurgte jeg, om vi kunne få sen udtjekning kl. 12 i stedet for kl. 10, og det var heldigvis slet ikke noget problem. Hvis du blot har brug for et sted at overnatte, inden rejsen går videre, er det et fint valg med venligt personale og god service.

It took a while (2 room changes) to get to a room that had working AC, electricity and hot water. BUT... It is close to the airport, the price is low, easy to get a cab and most of staff were helpful. Food was decent.

5 minutes car distance from the airport so convenient for a very short stopover. Cheap food at the Motel we had a dinner which was ordered and served in the evening/night when we arrived. WC in the room is bad, there is no poliban and the floor gets all wet, plus the water pressure is really really weak. Do not expect to take a nice shower. Overall it is OK for a quick night stop, considering the cost.
