Good location, overpriced
Good looking hotel. Breakfast service was terrible, missing food and clean tables, clearly missing more staff! Reception on one tower, my room on the other tower far and tricky to find.

Good breakfast, friendly staff.
The hotel was very nice but there were a few maintenance issues in the room. The toilet holder was not fixed horizontally and the toilet roll kept on falling off. Then the protection of the light switch by the bed had fallen off, and the blue light was really disturbing in the night. I also got a letter of apology that the TV was not working.
For the price of the hotel, I felt there were just too many issues with the room. I could extend my check out by 1 hour because my flight was later in the afternoon.
