This is a budget friendly place, you get what you pay for. Staff was nice and our shuttle waited a long time for us to get out of the airport. I left before breakfast was available, so no review there. I would say that the rooms are old and they have to fix things frequently. The sink faucet was loose and the toilet stopped working (no water to flush). The shower was fine and the beds were clean and comfortable enough. I would spend more next time for a more modern stay. Wi-Fi was available and worked great.

This hotel is "home from home" which is due to the very friendly and very helpful staff who are customer focused. The whole hotel staff team are exceptional in particular Rekik at reception who always collaborated with me in teasing family and friends visiting me at the hotel and Shetaye serving Secial tea & St George beer in the bar where I engaged in good conversation. It is easily accessible from the airport and the breakfast is always excellent.

The photos make the hotel look better than in actuality. It caused me to change my plans and look elsewhere for accomodation. However, it is close to the airport, the shuttle worked well and the staff were lovely and accomodating. It is alright for a stopover but not for a long stay.
