8/10 Very good

The room is clean and tidy and decent Air con but the check in process isn’t great for UK visitors, they send the details to your phone number instead of Email or Whatsapp first. We had a worrying 3 hour drive hoping there was someone at reception when we got there. Also its located at the end of a runway and flights starting at around 5am until late which wasn’t ideal.
