The staff is great! Smooth check-in.
The AC never seems to get very cool. That is my only complaint. Karao is a convenient, hospitable place to stay! Thank you…ciao, until next time!

Good value. Great value if the AC worked better.
Location to the Liberia airport cannot be beat. AC will take HOURS to get the room down to a reasonable temperature if outside temperature is above 85. Great amount of space to repack bags for early flights.

Stay was short and sweet. Arrived late and key was easy to get to in the lock box. Was out before anyone showed up and left key in the lockbox. Nothing fancy, but a great place to shack up for an early flight. Shuttle arranged and showed up early.

Perfect for LIR airport access.
Lovely stay close to the airport in Liberia. It is a very comfortable boutique hotel. Large rooms, comfortable beds, working AC. Bring your own soap etc. easy check in between 7am-8pm. Be sure to prearrange hours beyond these listed. Street noise during waking hours but quiet at night. Lovely cafe downstairs.

Not great.
This property has rooms that are 4 floors up, I think all of the rooms are on the 2nd floor or above so don't pick this if you have any mobility issues. The power went out twice while staying there, the internet shut down, the room didn't look like the photos

The place felt safe, staff were friendly and the room was very clean, properly equiped. Only negatives were the loud noises coming from the highway right in front and the fact that nothing is really walkable from there, you have to have a car or call a taxi. But for a night just before going to the airport it was great!

The host was very friendly and helpful. The bakery had gluten free options.
The hotel was very noisy: highway noise, water pipes vibrating loudly, roosters and dogs. The door locks didn't work. No soap. No mirror close to a plug-in.

A lot of road noise. Asked about this before checking in and they said rooms are at the back and not a lot of road noise but the rooms are not at all quiet.
No one on-site after 5p. Many stairs and no one to assist you.
No where to eat in the evening.
Room had no amenities like shampoo.
Not great value for money.
