Messut mukavasti ja helposti.

Mukavat huoneet, hyvä sauna, loistava ajaminen. Messuvieraalle loistava, huoneeseen pääsee sisäkautta ja voi käydä välillä huoneessa lepäämässä ja vaihtamassa vaatteita.

Great hotel, next door to the exhibition centre, train station less than 5mins away with line servicing the center (1 stop away) and the airport ( direct , about 30mins journey costing 4.80 euros single way). Staff very friendly, room was clean and nicely layered. Restaurant and bar food very good.

Not a good first impression, but got better

Arriving to the hotel was not so friendly, slow action and almost unfriendly in the reception. I felt I was there for the official and not the opposite. But the room, the breakfast and other things worked well.
