As a hotel for the first night after a long haul flight recommendable as close to the airport. The pick-up service from the airport to the hotel worked well, the check-in was very smooth and fast. Room was clean! We had a large room at the back, the highway past the front of the hotel is a little bit loud. Breakfast in the restaurant "i hop" we enjoyed in the building. Read more
