Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The convenient location near the airport was great, but the wet and sticky carpet in the room was a downside. The service was excellent with a welcoming drink upon arrival, yet the pricing seemed a bit high for the value received.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport, which was perfect for our early departure the next day. The rooms had all the necessary amenities, but the wet sticky carpet was a downside. The service was efficient with a pleasant welcome drink offered. The dining experience lacked variety but did offer delicious Sicilian pastries. Overall, a decent stay for a quick airport stopover.
The hotel is ideally situated near the train station, perfect for our early flight the next day. The rooms are well-equipped with all amenities, a cozy queen-size bed, and a convenient shower, although the carpet felt a bit damp and sticky. The friendly service made our stay pleasant, with thoughtful details like a welcome drink and a relaxing happy hour. While the location served our travel needs well, being close to the airport runway was slightly noisy. The eclectic British dishes in the dining area were satisfying. Overall, a decent stay for the convenience, with some minor room condition concerns.
