Pros:

Decent breakfast, served from very early on. Close to the airport, even though there is no real pedestrian infrastructure to get there, i.e. the shuttle running around the clock is necessary. Easy check-in. Spacious room, with different pillows to choose from.

Cons:

Slightly outdated as for the materials etc, but still comfortable.

Príjemné a pohodlné
Pros:

Staff bol veľmi milý, raňajky výborné a oceňujem najmä 2 páry pohodlných vankúšov a perinu, ktorá je reálnou perinou a nie plachta ktorá sa tvári ako perina. Odporúčam

Cons:

Na pešo sa neprejdete nikam za prírodou, je to čisto len na transfer

Pros:

Very easy to get to STN airport with the shuttle (running every half hour) which brings you right from the hotel entrance to the airport drop off area. Excellent breakfast - many options available, very filling!

Great location for airport, not much else
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

There was rubbish underneath the mattress in the baby’s travel cot, the bed was incredibly squeaky, the restaurant had no vegetarian kids options available for my baby to eat and the lady who checked us in could t have been more displeased to be doing so
