9.8/10 Exceptional! (953 reviews)
Excellent location! Despite being close to the action, noise was not a factor. The AC worked well and wasn’t noisy. We did not partake in the restaurant or bar on premises because there are so many options in walking distance. Booking was easy once we touched down and access was easy by public transport from the airport. Uber to the airport for an early flight was 20 mins and 15 Euros. I would stay here again.

Interesting rooms. I did not love the shower much. Still a great option, helpful staff, AC that worked, and great location.
