Basic outdated hotel room, walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking or doing the deed. Overpriced for what it offers. Needs renovation and better maintenance. Stuff asked for additional money at check in.

I had a wonderful three day stay at the Hotel Expo, the lady at the front desk did a marvellous job assisting me with anything I asked her to explain and show me. A special employee that should be recognized. Room was always made up and tidied when I returned. Easy to get to from the airport by taxi or Metro

Close to airport, not to comfortable for rest
Staff were friendly, breakfast was great. Unfortunately the windows don't open and they had a central heating temperature set, meaning you can't adjust your rooms temperature. It was really hot, stuffy, and difficult to sleep without clean air.

Convenient but not relaxing. Well priced.
The reception staff on check in was top lady. Very professional, friendly and helpful. The room was designed nicely, however, the walls are so thin that I could hear my neighbours as if we were sharing a room. When you book a 4 star hotel you do not expect to find yourself in a dormitory.

The thing that makes this hotel so special is it's reception staff. The quality, commitment and friendliness of the reception team is what has drawn me back to this hotel over many years. They are always professional, understanding and possess excellent English language skills.

Great location - next to metro. Modern and spacious rooms. Excellent choice for comfortable travel since city center is easily accessible by metro. Also 10 mins to airport using metro.
