We took a taxi from the airport. It's in an area close to the airport that's not surrounded by other hotels. It's frequented by large youth sports teams. Pleasant staff and soooooo clean. Walkable to small local shops and restaurants. Great value for the money

I liked the price (affordable), staff (very kind I arrived 3 am and instead of giving my the shared room which I booked they gave me a single room so I did not disturb the other guests), close to public transport to the city centre I did not like the breakfast. 1 option of yogurt: strawberry, croissant taste like those you are given in the hospital, coffe machine quite basic, 1-2 cereals option do not remember.
