I had mixed experiences at this hotel. While my room was comfortable and quiet with a nice view of the airport, my dining experience left much to be desired. The value for money is decent considering the proximity to the airport, but the service at dinner was frustrating and slow, especially when my meal took an hour to arrive. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you need a quick stay near the airport, but dining could use some improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some perks, my experience was quite mixed. The airport shuttle service was convenient and the hotel was generally clean and comfortable. However, the dining situation really let me down, as the food quality left much to be desired. Overall, it may serve as a quick stopover, but I wouldn't call it the best option for a longer stay.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite the experience. The location is super convenient, just a short distance from the airport, making it an ideal stopover. The rooms are modern and comfy, but my arrival was marred by a substantial delay in getting my room. The outdoor garden area and pool are lovely, though I felt the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent choice for a layover with some nice amenities.

My recent stay at the hotel was convenient since it was close to the airport, but it wasn't without issues. The reception staff were warm and welcoming, which was a plus, but I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the bedding and the breakfast options left much to be desired. Overall, while it served its purpose for a night between flights, there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Rooms

The room was small and basic but exactly what I needed-just a comfy bed and a hot shower. However, the bedding was not very clean; the pillowcases and duvet covers had a used smell to them.

The hotel is not within walking distance of the airport, and you will need to take a taxi to get there, which was slightly inconvenient, yet the shuttle service is available and runs regularly.
