Great hotel for short staying

Only stayed whilst waiting for our next day flights but was a great hotel. Staff were great, hotel is very modern and clean without much noise from the airport. Gym is pretty good albeit a little small but had no issues with waiting for equipment, equipment is modern and is very clean in there with towels provided. Couldn't fault the place really! Love that the hotel is pretty much 100 metres from the doors to the terminal, definitely would recommend. Stayed here on two occasions over the duration of our holiday and both times were great! Rooms are really clean and showers are pretty good too which is a major point for me. Didn't try the restaurants so can't comment on that but judging by how good the hotel is I would imagine the food would be good too.

Was lovely, we arrived early in the morning so paid for a buffet breakfast which was amazing! Were able to get a slightly earlier check in at our request. Lots of power points for phones/laptops, spacious room. Staff were ready to assist, helpful and positive. Right next to airport so easy to see, easy to walk to, easy access to early morning flight.

The property was clean and looked new and modern. Its proxity to airport and Antartic Center which was a great convenience. Its a expensive property for the area .. so expect some good working functional systems in room. 1. Looks like the AC temp was fixed. .The temp could not be changed. 2. The bathrooms and shower were separate which we liked. BUT the doors have no privacy as their hinges are large and viewable. Maybe its a cultural thing. we expect the bathrooms and toilet to be fully covered .
