aparthotel Amella
Perfect location for general market (I. Zeppelin hangers) and the ghetto museum. Short walk to the old town and Christmas market. The bus from the airport (number 22) stops very near hotel and costs 3 euro for 2 people - bargain. Hotel was stylish and clean. Staff friendly would recommend
