    The rooms at Shady Transit Hotel are cozy and comfortable. I loved the private bathroom with a refreshing shower. The tile/marble floor gave a touch of elegance, and I liked having a private entrance. Some rooms even have a terrace, perfect for enjoying the view and relaxing.

    Personally, I found the terrace a bit small, but others might still appreciate it.

    From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and helpful. They even arranged a transfer from the airport for us, which was a great convenience, especially since our flight arrived very early in the morning. the hotel itself has a perfect location, just 2 km from the airport. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the lush surroundings as we entered the hotel, which felt like a small jungle. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    Nothing to dislike. 😊

    The value for money at Shady Transit was amazing, with a spacious and clean room, and a comfortable bed. The location was also great, close to the airport and surrounded by a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The staff, especially Ashan, were incredibly kind and helpful, making me feel at home throughout my stay.

    The breakfast could be improved with a greater variety of options.

    The location of this hotel is perfect for those with late night or early morning flights, as it is very close to the airport. They also provide a shuttle service, although it is not included in the price. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, with everything you need during a transit stay. Additionally, the staff, especially Ashan, are incredibly kind and helpful, going out of their way to ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of at this hotel.

    One minor drawback I experienced was the lack of halal food options at the hotel. However, the staff, particularly Ashan, recommended a nearby hotel where I could find suitable food and even arranged transportation for me.
