Ich kann leider nicht mehr als einen stern vergeben. Als ich am tag der anreise bemerkt habe das mein transport sich etwas verspätet habe ich die unterkunft direkt kontaktiert. Sie haben mir nicht auf meine frage von einem späteren check in geantwortet sonder irgendwas mit ner anderen unterkunft was man aber nicht verstehen konnte. Danach haben sie mich, obwohl man offiziell noch einchecken konnte für 2h ignoriert. Ich habe dann in einem anderen hostel übernachtet.

I can't forgive more than one star unfortunately. when on the day of arrival I noticed that my transport was a little delayed, I contacted the accommodation directly. they didn't answer my question about a later check in without anything with any other accommodation which you couldn't understand. then they ignored me, although you could still check in officially for 2h. then I stayed in another hostel.

Not the ideal location at all, far from the city and no restaurants nearby it’s really in a suburb, the host also doesn’t speak any English, and when I wanted to change my stay from 3 days to 1 he wanted to over charge me for the inconvenience

No one was there when I arrived at the site, even though it was within the check-in time. The Uber driver let me wait with him while I tried to contact the hostel. The number provided didn't pick up. The owner(?) let me know he was out of town and the person they hired today would return to let me in. The person on site, unsure of how everything worked, left me in a waiting area while talking to someone at the door. The place looked empty, and I felt unsafe.

Life Builders is a great place for a night on either side of arriving/leaving GC. Its close to the airport which is ideal but its far from the city center. The area didn't feel too safe walking around. The facfacilities are just wawaht you need and there areare great views from the balconies. While its not ideal to tour the city, its a great place to stop for a night.

Die Lage ist perfekt um zum Flughafen zu kommen, eignet sich vermutluch weniger um die Stadt zu erkunden. Das Personal ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend! Tolle saubere Duschen und Toiletten und gut ausgestattete und saubere Küche. Fahrservice zum Flughafen oder in andere Bereiche der Stadt wird angeboten.
