Parking very unclear resulting in a parking fine being issued
Pros:

The property was nice.

Cons:

Reception area was chaotic. I told the receptionist that I had parked out front and my disabled card was visible and I was only being dropped off so WHY did I get a parking ticket?

Prima hotel vlakbij vliegveld
Pros:

Handige locatie vlakbij vliegveld. Prima ontbijt, geen last van andere komende en vertrekkende gasten, kamer met airco. Snel in en uitchecken. Handig shuttlebusje van en naar vliegveld.

Cons:

Was erg omringd met grote wegen, maar dat was zoals verwacht.

Pros:

Excelente atención por parte del personal femenino. Habitación espaciosa y muy cómoda, con luz natural. Buena ducha y en general todo muy bien. La cena también buena y la ubicación excelente, lo que te quita preocupación por el vuelo con la lanzadera en la misma puerta del hotel. Muy contenta de alojarme aquí.

Cons:

Todo muy bien, tal vez la atención de un miembro del personal masculino del bat- restaurante, aunque fue aceptable, podría haber sido un poco mejor, comparando con el personal femenino, que se mostró muy servicial y agradable.

così così: comodo per l'aeroporto ma prezzo eccessivo per il livello di pulizia
Pros:

colazione varia e buona.
check in aperto h24 molto comodo anche per chi arriva in tarda sera/notte.
abbastanza vicino all'aeroporto. poi dall'aeroporto si arriva a londra facilmente col treno.

Cons:

la pulizia della camera era pessima.
la navetta per l'aeroporto ha una frequenza troppo bassa (ogni 30-45 min) e non sono chiari gli orari.
il prezzo della navetta è scandalosamente eccessivo per il servizio offerto: ci vogliono praticamente 10€ a testa per andare e tornare dall'aeroporto che dista 5 minuti di autobus
