Great value. Room was a bit small but very clean and new feeling. Shower is great. The rooms are above the bar/restaurant, and it was actually very quiet in the room. Overall, a really good place to stay especially if it's single occupancy. The bar and restaurant are both great also, so this is a big plus,

Friendly staff, the hotel has a restaurant on site, which was convenient, but the rooms were very small. Hard with two people and two carry-ons and two personal items, there wasn't room to put anything. But we only stayed for a very short amount of time (technically only 5-6 hours) so it was doable. Conveniently located between airport and city center, plenty of restaurants around. Need to take the bus to the city center or Uber.
