The staff is welcoming and friendly. The place is clean, the buffet is nice 😋 the breakfast is delicious and varied. There was just some construction work at the gym, they had to update this detail. This was the only negative point for people who trained every day.

Great hotel and very spacious, unfortunately there's no balcony and the runway rugs are very old and dirty. A modern charging system will be very handy.

I stayed here with my mom and sister visiting from the states! We felt so safe and comfortable here. The security keeps a good eye on the place so you feel very secure and the whole staff is amazing! After a long day of travel the kitchen staff made us food at 1:00am despite them being closed and we really appreciated them for going out of their way as they did not have to. 10/10 recommend staying here if you visit very close to the airport weather you just got off the plane and need a place to stay or have an early flight to catch in the morning! This place was so lovely, clean and well taken care of! Thank you to all the staff!
