The host Adnan was super wonderful. Cheerful, accommodating, and helpful in many ways. The airport shuttle (by private car) to and from the airport with Adnan was really convenient. And takes < 15 mins to get to and from the airport. The common areas of the place itself were very comfy for me to take an online class at, chat with other guests, do some yoga and watch netflix during my layover. There is a food place nearby that tastes great and 35% the price of what you would otherwise have to pay at the airport. Note: Airport immigration itself took about 30 mins for me to clear immigration coming out, and 15 mins to go back in for my transit flight.

Friendly staff, clean place , very quiet Mosque 🕌 is near. Just one note to guests: leave it as you would like to find it (It’s normal human culture ). In the beginning I booked it for few days, then I extend my stay after I found that really deserve the high ratings 👍🏻. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
