Convenient and comfortable
Pros:

Perfectly located next to international airline and bus terminals. Good size and well appointed rooms. On-site bars and restaurants are also high quality. I’m sure their beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in; even the pillows were especially comfortable.

Cons:

Not a big deal, but check out time was 11am, yet the buffet breakfast finished at 10 and the bar, which also served breakfast, didn’t open until 11. This created ‘breakfast limbo’ for one hour. We stayed on a Friday night, so the operating hours may be different on week days.

bien situé mais excessivement cher
Pros:

emplacement parfait

Cons:

Excessivement cher, pour une chambre confortable sans plus; l'emplacement en face de l'aéroport ne suffit pas à justifier un tel prix; le lit était très mou et inconfortable; rien à voir avec le Novotel, certes plus loin mais bcp plus agréable et moins cher

Pros:

The location of the hotel and the bed

Cons:

Didn’t like the self check in - seemed a little underwhelming for an up market hotel. Something that you would find at Ibis. Staff at the Smiths bar were extremely slow. Only one person actually serving customers. However, staff were polite and the pizza quite good.
