Really great location, brilliant breakfast that sets you up for the day, the breakfast was from 6-10am, so if you've been out late chasing the lights then you can still have a bit of lay in and get breakfast a bit later. There's a free coffee machine in the comunal area along with some games to pass the time away if needed. Just a 2 min walk from thd red airport bus pickup and drop off point. Roomx were spacious enough for the 2 of us for 4 nights. Yes we would recommend this hotel

The room wasn't very clean, the cleaners came around once before 9am and if you had do not disturb up they didn't come back, just left a bag of towels. Breakfast buffet was good, it would be nice for the hot food to be hotter. Breakfast staff very nice. Front desk staff some nice , some not so nice.

It was a good location and very warm. Price includes breakfast and if you don’t need breakfast one date because you leave before 7am they won’t give you a refund and it is £23 per person. They offer a takeaway breakfast instead which was juice, fruit and a sandwich so not really very good for the price. A refund would have been better.
