Guests appreciate the complimentary and punctual airport transfers that Samann Grand provides. The rooms are considered very clean and comfortable, though some found them smaller than expected based on the pictures, and the modern light switches are a plus. Many enjoy the restaurant's great view, and the hotel's location offers easy access to food and supermarkets. the proximity to the mosque means that some guests may be woken up by early morning prayers.

amazing staff and super clean rooms!

complimentary transfersclean roommodern light switchesmosque location

i 10000% recommend it! the staff organized complimentary transfers from the airport, very useful. i felt very well looked after! prior to check-in, i stored luggage there for a day, and they were happy to do that. they allowed a complimentary late check-out, and this was super convenient for my evening flight. the room was very clean and tidy, with modern light switches.

the biggest issue is that the hotel is right next to a mosque. the call to prayer is broadcast at 4:45 am, and it is impossible to sleep through. they provide earplugs, but you still get enough sound to ruin your sleep.

perfect location with excellent service

seamless transferprompt communicationsound isolation

the hotel has seamless airport transfers. a private transfer meant zero waiting time for the seaplane flight. the staff are very friendly and genuinely want you to have a positive impression. communication before arrival was prompt and helpful.

the major downside is non-existent sound isolation from the outside. you can clearly hear prayers from the mosques. the hotel should inform guests that it is surrounded by mosques and this may be an issue.
