"Very good service and a perfectly nice motel as our overnight stay before our flight. Our room was pretty clean and quiet despite being in a noise part of town. There was some sand on the floor and the bathroom had the smell from outside but we felt comfortable and it was exactly what we paid for and expected. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Tatu who set up a table for us outside for dinner. She also organised an airport transfer for us in the morning which made things...

"Fantastic location, wonderful staff (shoutout to Freddy!) and wonderful amenities. I cannot say enough good things about the accommodations and staff at Slipway. Courteous, friendly and thoughtful. They assisted me at the bank across the courtyard, provided restaurant suggestions and arranged private transport and accompaniment for me to do some market shopping in the city. Excellent value for money. I look forward to staying again! "

"Not a luxury hotel but a good place for the price. There is a restaurant in the building open 24/7. I felt very comfortable there. The only crticism is that wifi quality was very poor."

"Kolmas kerta yöpyä eri matkojen välillä. Aina ystävällinen ja nopea vastaanotto. Matkalaukut tallessa varastossa. Huoneessa kaikki toimii, jääkaappi ja lämmin vesi suihkussa. Ainoastaan aina varustettu vain yhdelle (pyyhe, sandaalit ja hygieniatuotteet). Vesipullot saatavilla. Hyvä aamiainen, mutta ei muuta ruokaa eikä alkoholijuomia (olutta). Oma parveke ja tilava huone."

"Reliable hot water and cold AC made the stay very comfortable. The in-room safe didn’t work but not a deal-breaker. No AC or fan running in common areas (ie. Lobby) although the machines are standing there. Same for restaurant, although they did turn them on as soon as I sat down for breakfast and cooled quickly, so maybe that’s a plus for eco-conservation! "

"This place is quite a palace. It’s luxurious and very comfortable. From the moment you walk in, it’s restful. Your big heavy bags are whisked to your room. A pot of hot dawa is ready for you at check-in. My room was clean, had a spot for my luggage, and a great big window. Quiet as well. Slept like a rock. The dinner/brunch buffets are nothing short of indulgent. I only wish I’d had more time to try the pool. Business center was quick and well appointed for printing documents.
