Several room-related issues: firm/very firm mattresses, uncomfortable beds for some guests, noisy thin walls/adjacent-room noise and occasional AC vibration or old AC units causing odors.

Room quality received mixed feedback, with some reviewers noting old-fashioned aspects.

Rooms described as very basic/sommaires, some recently renovated rooms noted but many reports of uncomfortable beds, damp smell and poor sound insulation.

Several reviews mentioned cleanliness positively; however, some implied the rooms were a bit dated.

Multiple reports of humid rooms, mold on shower curtains and joints, ants in some rooms; a few guests noted rooms as clean but overall cleanliness is inconsistent and a common complaint.

Consistently noted as excellent for proximity to the airport, quiet despite being near the airport, and convenient for short stays; also near local markets and small attractions for brief exploration.

Airport shuttle and air conditioning available; limited other amenities — no elevator in some areas, no regular breakfast for many guests, and smoking restrictions noted.

Many reviewers find it good value for a short overnight/airport stay (cheap shuttle, convenient), though at least one guest felt overcharged and disappointed compared with expectations.

Perceived as good for purpose (transit/one-night stays) with modest rooftop prices; some implicit value positives but not uniformly commented on, so rated slightly below excellent.

General sentiment indicates fair value for a transit hotel; however, some areas were considered basic.
