Hyvä lentokenttähotelli.
Pros:

Lähellä lentokenttää. Rauhallinen ja hiljainen huone. Hyvä aamupala.

Cons:

Isompien matkatavaroiden kanssa haastellinen saavutettavuus bussilla. Pitää käyttää taksia.

Pros:

Encostado no aeroporto que facilita quem vai pegar um vôo cedo. Quarto amplo e limpo, funcionários gentis.

Cons:

Falta mais uma tomada ao lado da cama. Frigobar não funcionava. Não tinha cofre. O hotel só oferece jantar num preço caro. Para fazer as refeições é necessário sair e procurar. O café da manhã completo somente a partir das 7h30, das 4 às 7h30 somente o básico que acho inadmissível para a função do hotel, tivemos que tonar um café mais completo no aeroporto. Pequeno vidro no box do banheiro, molha bem.

Pros:

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The hotel is far from the airport and accessible only by taxi. It is not safe to walk to the hotel, as it is located in an industrial zone with no sidewalks. Despite being an airport hotel, full breakfast service does not begin until 7:00 AM (7:30 AM on weekends); before that time, only a very light snack is available.

Bedre end forventet.
Pros:

Vi fik en venlig modtagelse og et værelse med god komfort, dejlige senge og lækkert badeværelse. Nemt at finde bussen til Malaga by næste morgen.

Cons:

Svært at finde da vores ankomst var sen aften. Heldigvis var det nemt at få en taxa fra lufthavnen (20 euro).
