It's not a luxury hotel,but it has been renovating in the last few years,so way better than it used to be.

You'd have to go to the transit desk to get a voucher and a visa and then clear immigration and board the shuttle bus (they will direct/escort you). The visa is free ,but does not give you a right to leave the hotel grounds (there is a fence around the perimeter of the hotel).

Forget about staying in the airport,not that the airport/lounges are bad,but it's just too long. I would possibly suggest to go to town independently on such a transit,but it's not really applicable here because of night transit.

Feel free to PM me,or post here if you have any questions regarding RJ/AMM.
