Located just five minutes from the airport via a shuttle of a small fee. Hot breakfast is hearty. Rooms are basic but very clean and quiet with a quality mattress. I would stay there again.

The room was clean and the staff were nice. Breakfast to go was included for those with early flights which was absolutely fine and saved time and money at the airport. Just don't try to walk to the hotel from the airport! there is a shuttle bus form the terminal but it was not very well signposted when arriving from the train station. Annoyingly I noticed that it was excellently signposted from arrivals.

It was unfortunately very average. I only stayed here 6 months ago and I feel my stay this time wasn’t as good. The staff were not very friendly. The room was very tired. On a positive note the breakfast has a good range of food and the lobby of the hotel is relaxing.

The breakfast is great and the staff is mostly helpful, however the hotel itself is quite noisy, and given that it's an airport hotel people constantly come and go with noise
