Late flight arrival led us to booking at stay here before getting car rental in the morning. Staff very friendly, refunded the cost of the bus tickets from airport which was a nice bonus. Breakfast was a little lacking despite being in at 8am but was still tasty and the mini pastries were fresh and the coffee in the machine was good. Everywhere was clean and staff very friendly. Def would use again.

Don't let the "Airport" name fool you. While the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, the location is a significant drawback. The hotel sits in a bleak industrial area with no shuttle service to the airport. It's too far to walk (30 minutes) and taxis charge a minimum of €20 for what is essentially a 7-minute ride. Nothing around the property , no restaurants, shops, or amenities within walking distance. If you're looking for airport convenience, you'd be better off staying near Plaza Mayor and simply taking a taxi to the airport on departure day. The staff saved this from a 1-star review.

Great customer service! I will say that the walk to the airport is not the safest as you have to cross major roads. It was very nice that they had breakfast items out at 3am! I would definitely stay here again. Also, totally not the hotels fault but, FYI at peek airport times ordering an uber /bolt can be difficult.

Excellent front desk and bar staff, very welcoming. Room was on ground floor as requested and room was clean and comfortable. Good selection of drinks at bar but evening meal nor taken due to our late arrival. Breakfast was fresh and offered good choice and it was included in the price of the room unlike many other hotels in the locality. We would certainly book again for an overnight stay close to the airport. Front desk staff also arranged for a taxi for the following morning.
