The hotel is very close to shops a cinema and restaurants as well as just across the road from the tram stop which goes to the airport, which is great. It’s very comfortable, staff are friendly and the breakfast is good. The reception area is pleasant and there’s a bar and hot drinks machine available.
Nothing.

Location
We were put in a disabled room. When we asked why it was because we requested a double bed ! It had a wet room and a very low sink. The room was dark. The skirting boards were very dusty. However the breakfast were very good.
