My stay at Elysian Airport Hotel was short but memorable. While it’s advertised as an airport hotel, it’s actually a bit farther from the airport than expected—so plan for extra travel time. Also, make sure to get familiar with the local currency quickly, or you might end up paying more than intended.
The room itself was superb—modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The shower was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, the hotel was under renovation during my visit, and the hot-tub room I originally booked wasn’t available.
There was a small issue at check-in around 1–2 AM. The front desk initially refused early check-in without charging extra, even though we had an 8 AM flight. After some discussion, they eventually allowed it at the same rate, which was appreciated but took effort.
On a positive note, the younger front-desk representative was outstanding—very pleasant and helpful. He even translated for us and assisted in communicating with our taxi driver, which made a huge difference.
Tip: If you need a transfer, ask specifically for a yellow taxi. If the hotel arranges it, you’ll likely pay double the normal rate.
Overall, I’d recommend this hotel for a short layover if comfort and cleanliness are your priorities. Just be mindful of the distance from the airport and the strict check-in policy.
