Reviews

Jean 8/10

Canada 🇨🇦

Pros: Close to airport and free shuttle. Comfortable for an overnight. Nice staff. Very clean. Room a little small but fine. Recommend it.

Katalin 8/10

Hungary 🇭🇺

Except the kitchen lady, everything was nice. If you need a hotel, close to the airport, this is a right place.

Pros: At the reception they were very nice and helpful. Even though the shuffle wasn’t available at early hour, but they managed to get us to the airport.

Cons: We agreed that we can have the breakfast a bit earlier to get to the airport on time, however the kitchen lady wasn’t willing to bring the food, although it was ready. Her colleagues also asked her to do so, but still she was upset, no clue why.

Ok for a night close to airport

Pros: 7 min from airport , nice staff and some restaurants around .Good option for a short stay close to airport.

Cons: Windows at room do not open , room was very hot . Only option to turn on the a/c unit which is very strong for the size of the room . We didn’t sleep well for that reason Constant noise all night from outside . Sounded like a generator or something similar .

Good for a stopover, needs some upgrading

Pros: This was a good stopping point for us before we collected our rental car. It was as you expect for a Mariott, we made use of the small gym and had a spacious room.

Cons: The rooms were a little tired and needed updating. The aircon smelt a bit strange and wasn’t very powerful. We think it was a bit damp and needed upgrading.

Cons: N/A. Everything was as expected.

Pros: Best rice and beans of Costa Rica. Congratulations to the chef

Daphne 9/10

Greece 🇬🇷

Pros: Convenient location if you arrive late/ leave early, as it offers 24h reception and it is really close to the airport and to the car rentals (e.g. adobe). There are a few interesting options for dinner and drinks nearby, walking distance. You need a car though if you want to head to the city center. The rooms are clean and offer all necessary amenities. Breakfast is OK, plenty of parking space.

Clean, comfortable room - good option for first or last night in Costa Rica.

Pros: Clean, comfortable room. Early breakfast possible at 6am. Good option for first or last night in Costa Rica. Close to airport and shuttle service.

Cons: We booked through Booking.com and had a really hard time arranging the shuttle service. No communication through the platform. Had to call the hotel from abroad.
