The structure is located in the middle of nowhere from the turistic point of view but the kindness of the guest, the clean of the facility, the quality of the service makes this Hoistel a super experience. Very convenient for its location close to the airport.

Excellent spot if you need to be near the airport, although harder to get to if you haven’t rented a car. Lots of room and the breakfast is available from 4am which is perfect for early morning flights.
