Verify booking. Confirm the reservation, card requirements and total payable amount directly before arrival, given reports of rejected or cancelled bookings.

The Bottom Line

Nearby metro stations named by guests include Abu Baker Siddique, Salah Din and Rigga.
The experience is inconsistent. Some visitors describe quiet, clean rooms, comfortable beds, cooperative housekeeping and quick, helpful reception service. Others report dirty sheets, towels, floors and bathrooms; one found a bed bug, while another said the room was not cleaned for eight days.
Hot water is another recurring concern, ranging from not working at all to taking about 10 minutes to warm. Sleep may be difficult in some rooms. Reviews mention a bright green emergency light that cannot be switched off, loud air-conditioning, corridor music, aircraft noise and weak sound insulation.
Breakfast opinions also vary, with one guest calling it tasty and another describing it as only bread and eggs. Before arrival, verify the booking and final price directly, check parking arrangements, and inspect towels and room condition at check-in. This is a budget-oriented option worth considering only if those basics are confirmed.
