    ​Spacious Bed & Bathroom: The double room features a very large, comfortable king-size bed and a roomy shower. ​Friendly Staff: The staff were polite and eager to help throughout our stay. ​Basics Covered: If you just need a functional place to sleep and shower, the hotel serves its core purpose. ​Late Check-Out: They were able to accommodate a late check-out for us (charged at €20 for 2.5 additional hours). ​ ​Summary: While it worked for a basic stay, we would look for a different hotel next time. It's fine if you lower your expectations to an economy standard, but it definitely falls short of the luxury impression given by its Misleading Photos vs. Reality: Do not rely on the online photos—the photography heavily exaggerates the property. The overall vibe is much more basic/economy level rather than luxury. For example, rooms feature an armchair instead of the wide angle photography making it look like a sofa, and the pool area is much smaller than depicted. ​Air Quality & AC Issues: The indoor air throughout the building is impossibly dry, pointing to a serious ventilation issue. The room AC was hard to regulate (blowing either too hot or too cold), and without mosquito nets on the windows, we couldn't open them for fresh air. ​Cleanliness & Maintenance: The carpet, curtains, and bath towels had visible stains (such as mascara spots). Corridors and doors are heavily scratched, and the elevator was unreliable. ​Poor Breakfast Options: Served in an adjacent building, the breakfast selection was very poor—especially for guests with food allergies, vegans, or those needing gluten-free options, as there was virtually nothing to choose from. Unless you are happy to eat only cucumber and tomatoes. ​Crowded Pool: The pool area is open to paying non-hotel guests, making it quite crowded on warm days. ​Value for Money: Given the overall condition, lack of proper ventilation, and basic amenities, the rates feel somewhat inflated for what you actually get. The hotel is further away from the center. While it worked for a basic stay, we would look for a different hotel next time. It's fine if you lower your expectations to an economy standard, but it definitely falls short of the luxury impression given by its photos.

    The breakfast was the worst and not worth the price

    Value for comfort and close proximity to airport. Offers 24h staff support which is convenient for those who need to stay at a safe and clean place after late night flight arrival. Toiletries are very basic so bring your own if you are a lady that needs special care for her hair if need to wash.

    Pretty good overall, very goormd and affordable shuttle service to airport.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    No The Hotel stated that there was a shutttle service to the airport, as it turns out, the shuttle service is unavailable due to a breakdown. There is an electric kettle in the room, but no tea or coffee. There is a safe, but additional permission is required for its use. The shower lacks any kind of anti-splash system. There is a device for liquid soap, but it does not work.

    service was not good. no complementary water, no toilet paper

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The pool was great to have with the heat The room was very spacious The staff was very kind The building and facilities/accommodations are quite outdated. The toilet kept flushing on its own throughout the day and night. The walls were thin so I could hear everyone in the hallways and the rooms’ tvs on all night next door

    Very welcome and good transver to airport. Nice restaurant menu. Quite far from the city centre

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    the only complain I have is regarding the Bathroom. When you take a shower - the shower room is flooded with water - there is no curtain or glass enclosure that prevents the entire bathroom from getting flooded - really embarrassing. The other problem - the bathroom does not have a shelf that allows space to place the toiletries. A little attention - installing a simple plastic shelf (negligible investment) can solve this problem.
