Pros:

The staff was fine. My issue with the hotel is that it looked nothing like the pictures, it’s extremely outdated and there is a smell throughout the hotel that smells like cleaner or bug spray. The only place to eat is their restaurant and it was very expensive for what it was. Also, the hotel is close to the airport but far away from anything. There is not a single store or anything within walking distance. For me, as a solo female traveler this actually feels very unsafe. If something happened you wild have nowhere to go. I was also promised a breakfast box because my room came with breakfast but I was leaving at 5AM, yet, I did not recorded the breakfast at all. This is a 2-3 star hotel at best. I would not stay here again,

Pros:

Lovely staff but the room, whilst big with a comfortable bed had significant lack of lighting
No reading lamps and poor overall light so unpacking was very difficult
The bathroom was also in poor condition with shower drain slow so pooled water when showering. The light over the mirror was broken and flickered constantly. Two lovely balconies had unlockable doors
No body lotion supplied.

In short it was a quiet hotel, set in lovely gardens with willing staff but in hotel in poor condition. The food we ate was good enough. The airport to hotel car transfer of about 15 minutes was €60 return

Pros:

Too much of scent everywhere and very late check ins make it very noisy when you try to recover from a long flight. I also could not have a visitor in the room to do business, had to do it outside, where there is no wifi anyway.

Good airport hotel
Pros:

Really smart hotel overall. Not
Much around it so eating in is most
Likely unless you get a taxi or have a vehicle. Restaurant prices quite high but food was good. The door to the patio of my room was difficult to lock and unlock - it got jammed when I locked it.

Pros:

I highly recommend this hotel. It was a cute getaway just for the night needed to get to and from the airport. They have a shuttle, which made it super convenient and the staff went above and beyond. The hotel was clean and I felt very safe I am a single woman traveling from America and my phone broke and they were so super helpful to me and went out of their way to try to accommodate me. I’ll be back!
