All staff were very good and cheerful.
The bed room was simple, very clean and shower was also good.
Wi-fi in the bedroom was very fast.
Breakfast had a good selection and the inclusive evening meal was simple but good albeit of a limited selection.
I would happily use this hotel again without any worries.
Originally booked in for one night but booked a second night on way home as first stay so good. Great location near the airport for overnight stop. Comfortable rooms, friendly smiling staff, great breakfast and evening meal included.

Near the port and airport
Self check-in late in the evening. The keys were ready as promised.
Rooms were quiet and big enough for overnight stay.
Breakfast had many alternatives and it was easy to find food for special diet.
Very convenient location, could walk to the airport. Dinner included, although we went out. They packed us a breakfast for the next day and booked us a taxi with a child seat to our friend's house. There were no options to buy food (apart from chips and lollies) outside of the dinner e.g earlier when we got there. The room was tiny and super hard to fit a cot inside and still be able to move around. There is no lift. The spas and sauna were not on.
Prima ontvangen opgehaald vanaf het vliegveld en een nette kamer en konden nog mee eten
Ook het ontbijt was verrassend uitgebreid.
Ook heel vriendelijk personeel een aanrader.
Trevlig personal och bra service. Jättegod frukost.

Detta är ett mycket prisvärd alternativ. Vi var överraskade av middagen som ingick i priset då den var bättre än vad som är brukligt när middag ingår. Frukosten var också bättre än vad vi förväntade oss! Mycket trevlig personal! Rummen är något omoderna men till detta pris fullt rimligt. Rent och fräscht. Dock saknade vi eluttag! Det fanns inte ens eluttag till sänglamporna eller läsampan -lamporna fanns där men sladdarna bara hänger utan ett eluttag i sikte! Utöver avsaknad av eluttag och belysning var vi toppennöjda!!
