Good location

It was at a good location not too far from the bus terminal to/from the airport. Rooms are outdated but pretty standard one from 1970's design. As long as it works, fine. Internet is not free and a bit slow though.

a nice hotel

This hotel is fantastic. Has a great location near to the trains, dart, buses and city centre. There are all with in walking distance. Me and my wife, had dinner in Bianconi restaurant, the food was delicious and the waiter very professional. The staff in general is nice, they offer to cary our bags from the lobby to the reception. The rooms are clean and quiet (we slept in the executive side). There is a rail trak crossing over the reception bat is away from the executive and premier rooms, if you stay in the standard side you may hear it. To us was a good experience, we will come back and definitely we recomand the hotel.

Misrepresented Amenities

The Executive Level room describes WiFi as included in the room. Upon arrival I was asked to pay an extra 14 euros per day for such access!
