Stayed at Novotel as the accommodation was convenient due to location to the airport, just a walk in the park.

Very convenient to the airport when arriving late and much appreciated the shuttle bus. Clean and quiet, excellent and friendly service by the staff. Pleased to see bulk bathroom products in the bathroom rather than small individual plastic items, much better for the environment. My only negative comment is about the extremely fat pillows which were very uncomfortable to sleep on. With three pillows in the room, I would have liked to see a thinner pillow amongst them as an alternative option.

Decore tired. Only stayed one night between flights. Cooped up in a small double bed room which lacked an armchair. The hotel needs a decent guest lounge.

Staff were very friendly. Walking distance to the airport was very useful. Currently undergoing renovations but I’m sure it’ll look great when they’re finished. Room didn’t have a fridge or a sink, which was a bit annoying.

The property was a little old and tired. The air conditioner in our room dripped water profusely and we woke up to a suitcase lying in a large puddle of water on top of a dresser. There is a lot of construction going on around the hotel. The good thing is that there is another hotel across the street that has an excellent breakfast in a nice surrounding.
