convenient location excellent staff good food range early closure missing tea bags reception unhelpful

the location near the international terminal was very convenient. i liked that i only needed to cross the road from the airport doors to check in. the staff were excellent even at night. breakfast at the hotel was good as the range of food impressed me.

the bar closed the coffee machine early. i asked for a cup of tea at 9:40pm and was told i couldn't have one. there were no tea bags in the room. i had to ask for tea bags at the reception.

Excellent Airport Hotel

great location comfortable bed

Location suited me. I had an early flight I needed to catch. The hotel is very close to the terminals. I was able to walk there easily and quickly. I had no problem with that. The bed was comfortable too. It was very easy to relax.

I think the rooms could use improved soundproofing. I heard some noise from the hallway early in the morning. People were making early departures so I heard them.

Facilities

The hotel offers a gym with three treadmills. The pool area includes twenty loungers. A cafe exists on site with food and drink selections. The hotel provides a contactless check in.

Location

The hotel is across the courtyard from International Departures. A free bus runs to the domestic terminal during the day. The train offers a cheap ride from Domestic Terminal. The hotel is five minutes from airport.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious and cozy. The rooms feature comfortable beds. My room included a seperate sink. I had a great view of the runway from my room. It was approximately 200 meters away.
