A great stay before a flight, walkable to both airport and train station. Loved the option of complimentary take away breakfast packs as we had an early flight. Would be helpful if the included cutlery packs had a spoon for the cereal though.

A moment of relaxation before a big flight

Ideal for a night of relaxation before a big international flight. I loved that toothbrushes and paste were at reception (we forgot ours) and complimentary and that breakfast was included (loved the roast zucchini - nice change).

It was an okay property. Only positives room was small but decent and breakfast was complimentary. They do not provide transportation to the hotel so you have to take a bus that tows around a luggage rack. Definitely will not be staying here again.
