The hotel is super close to the airport and right across the road from the runway. The rooms are really comfortable and have an extra duvet, which was a nice touch. The service was excellent with room service available. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and it's a shame there are no grilled steaks. The facilities are modern and well-kept, offering great value for money.
