      I traveled with my sister and stayed at the southern sun for one day. The staffs were nice and helpful. It is near the airport and the shuttle is reliable. The room was also clean. Nothing extraordinary but it’s a good option if you need somewhere to rest during a layover.

      This hotel met all our needs perfectly. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were all very helpful- especially Joel, who went out of the usual route in order to make it easier for us to get all our bags and children to the departure point. We had a very early flight, and breakfast packs that were yummy and nutritious were provided. Thanks all for a great overnight stay.

      I have my complaints, so no four or five stars, but a good night's sleep near the airport. It is not obvious how to get to the shuttle bus, it was a little intimidating, we asked a security guard and he took us right there and we tipped him.

      I guess this is the best option for one night at the airport. It's close but not easy to find - as with everything in any Indo airport: ask, then ask again. Don't expect four stars as in the West.
