    We recently stayed at a hotel near the airport, and Rai was perfect for our needs. the accommodations were impressive for the price range, and the staff at reception were friendly and helpful even at 3 am. the room was spacious with a large desk and wardrobe, and the bathroom was also spacious. a convenient location with great facilities and friendly staff. Cons: Everything was fantastic! 😊.
