A ideal location when you need to be on the airport really fast.
Pros:

We received a warm welcome when we got out of the taxi. Our luggage is handled by professional staff. We were taken to reception for a fast and smooth check-in. Our room looked exactly as it did in the pictures on this website. Furthermore, the staff handled our requests as we would expect from their professionalism.

Cons:

We have no complaints about the room. You get what you see in the photos. We didn't take advantage of the included breakfast, so we can't comment on that. We also didn't use the other facilities, such as the swimming pool or fitness room, so we can't comment on those.

Hôtel à éviter car on vous arnaque à tout les coup
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Le restaurant n’est pas bon. La nourriture laisse à désirer. J’ai reçu un ami pendant 2 heures dans ma chambre et on m’a facturé 60€. C’est une arnaque. Un buffet à volonté à 30€ sans grand chose à manger. Un transfert à l’aéroport pour 25$ alors c’est 10$ avec Uber.
