Solid Hotel Experience

efficient check-inpolite receptionistconvenient locationextra charge

Check-in was efficient, the receptionist was very polite. I also appreciated the staff at the restaurant. They were mannerly. The hotel location proved convenient. It was near the Airport C6 Bus Stop. (I found it quite helpful for my travel).

I found that the hotel seems overly eager to charge extra for small things. There were no complimentary water bottles in the room. You need to pay a €10 deposit if you want a beach towel, and even if you use the same towel during your stay, you'll still be charged €1 for washing it.

The breakfast was very good, and the staff at the reception were very nice. The staff at the restaurant were also polite. I found all staff interactions pleasant and helpful throughout my stay.
