Convenient hotel close to airport for overnight stay
Pros:

Close proximity to the airport, walking distance. Great pool area. Variety of food available all day. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Very small room. The carpet was heavily soiled and seemed dirty. The sliding door to outdoor area did not lock so felt unsafe. There were ants crawling everywhere, even over the bed. Seemed understaffed as had to wait a very long time to order drinks.

A perfect stay for a business trip, but a bit cramped for holiday luggage. Excellent location, staff
Pros:

The reception was friendly, and the location was perfect. The parking inside the complex helped a lot. The room was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was a welcome relief.

Cons:

The room was really small, and it was almost impossible to work with two suitcases and camera bags. One bedside lamp was also a bit disappointing.

Best of
Pros:

Zum Frühstück gab es neben gluten freiem Brot auch gluten free muffins und mir wurde alles am Buffet gezeigt, was ich Essen konnte. Unser schweres Gepäck wurde zur Unterkunft gebracht, das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit ohne zu unterscheiden, ob man im Ibis, Mercury oder Novotel nächtigte..

Cons:

Wer hier was finder war wochenlang mit der Lupe unterwegs.
