Overnight stay for the airport

Stayed here simply because we needed a hotel near the airport and for this it was perfect. It’s a large impersonal hotel with basic rooms. It had a bar and restaurant serving average food but the free shuttle in the morning was much appreciated.

This could have been a better stay as the room was very nice and fresh, recently refurbished, affordable, and conveniently located close to the airport. Free parking as well, but don't expect much more than a bar and some sad-looking tapas if you're hungry, and there's nothing close by to get a bite. I drove around quite a while looking, and ended up having a glass of wine and crisps for dinner at the hotel bar. Everything worked very well in the room and was well thought out, EXCEPT the door. You can hear a whisper outside, and people kept coming until the wee hours, waking me up. If an entire soccer team shows up at midnight, make sure they don't have a party outside your door, but really, it wouldn't have been such a problem if the door had been well insulated from noise. This is important for a hotel so that its guests are not disturbed every time someone walks by. Being able to sleep well is the primary purpose when staying at a hotel, isn't it? I stayed in 5 hotels during this 2-week trip and did not encounter any noise issues, so this poor insulation door issue stood out. You can see gaps all around it. Fix it, and I would have given you four stars. Add some better food in the bar, serve coffee at 7 am, and I would have given you five stars:)

The building is very nice, the elevators a bit noisy, but offer a nice view while going up or down. The room was comfortable, the staff courteous enough, though seemed a bit odd. The foot in the restaurant was wonderful.

Great airport hotel

Check in was quick and easy, and arranging a shuttle for the airport when I checked in was simple as well. They took the initiative to call our room in the morning to make sure we were on our way. Having some more information online on the restaurant would be great though, so we could plan for food

Not your average airport hotel

Do not be misled by the pictures, this 70 room hotel is actually a small cafeteria-style breakfast area and foyer on the ground floor and bedrooms on the fifth floor. If you are not keen on the tiny glass elevator over the dustbins, that is quite a climb up an inhospitable staircase (240 steps, to be precise). Our children's room was quite a way from ours, despite our advance request for closeness. This was probably for the best, as the children were not kept awake by the all-night chatting, laughing and singing from other guests (or residents? who knows what was going on on the other floors of this building) echoing up through the building. Nor were they troubled by the stench of fresh sewage that entertained us. They did, however, quickly discover the inviting wide window ledges with fully opening windows (near miss. This was particularly surprising as the windows were modern and had spaces for locks/limitors which could easily have been fitted). Ah well, we can have a cup of coffee. No. The restaurant is only open for breakfast. The tea and coffee making facilities consisted of a kettle, no cups and one sachet of nescafe. Breakfast was inadequate. With one lady to serve and no self-service, it was slow. The options were a ham roll, a croissant or tortilla - and no, you cannot have two items. with nothing suitable for our lactose- and gluten-sensitive child, we had our own cereal and milk, but were told off for helping ourselves to a bowl and spoon from a pile nearby.
