Very convenient for having to get up at 4am to check in for our flight. Had some communication issues when arriving as I asked for clarification on the size of the double beds (sometimes hotels just use "double" as a generic term for larger than single). The concierge assured me that they were large beds, ie queen size. On going to the room we discovered that they were just standard doubles - nowhere near big enough for me and my 6'4" husband to share! I was also disappointed to only be given one facecloth for the three of us in the room.

Extremely convenient location if you are arriving late or departing on an early flight. The hotel is immediately outside the airport, just a few steps away. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. There are three Metro bus lines that connect to the airport to the city center, and the stop is right outside the hotel, so that was very convenient too.
