I wasn't expecting much...I just needed a bed for a night.
But I didn't expect to have to carry my luggage up the STAIRS to the top floor! There is NO lift!
A smile wouldn't have gone astray either.
And yes the rooms are VERY basic and sink is the other side of the room and the shower/toilet doesn't even have a curtain and it's all plastic and feels like a port-a-loo.
You really don't want to be here long but if you need a cheap bed near the airport it's the only option....still think it's pretty steep though but they do have the monopoly for the low end airport hotels so they can still get away with charging a lot (relatively) for nothing (almost literally).
There is a McDonald's and service station very nearby (and of course the airport) so I wouldn't bother with their breakfast.
PS. I wheeled the trolley from the airport there (and then back the next morning of course) and never saw any signs saying that you shouldn't do so and then left the trolley under the stairs over night (hoping nobody would take it so I didn't have to walk back to the airport the next morning to pick one up).
