Nicely located within a 15 minute walk to the airport terminal, though a shuttle bus is also available if you have a bit of luggage. Also conveniently located to the T4 car park and bus terminal. Very clean and comfortable room with a good shower. Price for the night was reasonable and the check in/out process was quick and easy. Would definitely use this hotel again

Great hotel, so close to airport, the breakfast was amazing. The only negative was as we stayed on a Saturday we either had to do a set menu which wasn’t cheap or only get bar snacks for dinner. A slight disappointment as the place was full of advertising about burgers. But overall a great stay and I will be back
