Perfect walking distance from the airport. A warm welcome, even very late at night. An included breakfast of scrambled eggs, bread, jam and hot drinks. A good price to stay after a late flight.

We had a language barrier at check-in and at first we were asked to pay more than I had booked it for, but we got it all worked out. I got sick while I was there and the woman at the front desk was helpful in getting me medication.

this was the perfect place to stay for one night before an early flight. It was clean, basic and had a very reliable free airport shuttle running hourly from 4am-midnight, or for a small fee if you need it between midnight and 4am.
