quiet and comfy, but beware bus transfer cost

Room was clean, quiet and comfy. We didn't need anything more as only staying in order to catch early flight next week. Despite leaving at 430, we were impressed that there was breakfast and drinks available at 4 to eat there or take to the airport. I was a bit shocked by cost of the transfer to and from the airport though. Our coach dropped us at station, and transfer to hotel was £4 each, then same the next morning to get back to the airport. This seemed very expensive for a 5 minute bus journey, and definitely something to bear in mind budget wise. As this was the difference between being cheaper or mosre expensive than a cab from home to airport (which we will do next time).

Close to Airport, staff friendly, breakfast included which is a reasonable standard. Rooms are basic but are fine for short stay. Cafe available for meals, my pizza only average for price, otherwise handy. Drivalia car rental 2 min walk away, so that suited me.

The hotel was very close to the airport, literally 10 mins max, but beware the shuttle bus takes £4 per way. The staff were really great, friendly and helpful, check in was smooth and the room was clean, tidy and relatively spacious. It has an iron in it, a TV, a couch, a desk and a double bed. The bathroom was good too, clean and well equipped. The morning buffet was ok, not so many options but would do. They really need to take care of the scent of the cutlery though, they’re perfectly clean but they smell awful.

Lovely hotel, ideal for early flight out and we stayed there on the way back home too. All staff were lovely and accommodating, even at 2am in the morning! Rooms big, clean and have what you need. We did not hear any noise from other guests and had a peaceful sleep. Breakfast is lovely too!
