Great hotel with friendly and supportive staff.
After a check-in in the early hours of the morning, the staff were very friendly and supportive on arrival from the complimentary airport shuttle to the staff at the desk. Breakfast was in a buffet format with a wide variety of options available. The room was very clean on arrival and exactly what was needed after a long haul flight. Check out in the morning was very straight forward with Keir showing a lot of kindness in relation to our stay.

Clean and very basic. Very close to airport with regular shuttles. Restaurant was full of people smoking which reduced the rating for me.
