Very comfortable and conveniently located very close to the airport. The cost is too much.
Pros:

Pretty average.

Cons:

Breakfast was average - clearly a restock of items was due as the cheeses were dry, old and moldy. This was our experience on Monday 19th January 2026.

Pros:

location

Cons:

This is such a noisy hotel - it is hardly full but they put all people on the same floor in the same area and the other guests are terribly noisy. No carpets so the passages are terribly noisy at night. Guests were slamming doors at 1am - very irritating. We hardly slept
