Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Sufficient space for a family of four with luggage to stay before our flight the next day. Ensuite facilities adequate for our stay. Public areas of the hotel were clean and tidy too. Good choice of cooked and fresh items at the buffet breakfast. Attentive staff were quick to replenish items and clear tables. Good location near the airport. 10-15 minute walking distance to the metro station. Good location with multiple public transport links near by.
