We were picked up at the airport. after alerting the hotel in advance, which was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, although the bed was a little hard. Plenty of variety for breakfast, including 'western' dishes. Staff were polite and helpful. As we were only staying one night before flying back to the UK there was no time for sightseeing, apart from a brief walk in the roads around the hotel. This was fairly unpleasant, as we were close to a flyover in one direction and in the other there were just a few shops; it was quite dirty and the local people obviously don't see western faces very often, judging by the stares and comments. My advice is to stay in the hotel, and take a taxi to tourist areas.
