Prima plek voor een overnachting tussen twee vluchten. Ruime kamer en fijne bedden.

Cons:

Badkamer kon wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken.
Verder erg groot en weinig sfeervol.

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel. Out may have been 10 years ago but not now. There are 2 other branded hotels clos
Pros:

The cafe downstairs was good quality and value. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We chose this property as it advertised a rooftop beer that overlooked the park. The rooftop bar does not exist. It is a function area. As soon as we walked into the room it gave an old and dirty vibe, likely due to the worn and dated carpets. The bed had a visible dip in the middle, the air conditioner was noisy and could not be controlled. The staff were good and immediately upgraded us to a bigger and nicer room, however as we found out around midnight, that air conditioner was noisy as well.
