Great location to visit city, €2 on bus and 20 mins. Rooms are good - bathrooms a bit dated. Restaurant and bar good. But £4 for a cappuccino a bit steep. Overall a great stay! X100 bus from airport superb and cheap

The staff checked us in we are IHG members but he told us since we have booked from third party , we will not receive any water bottles or any complimentary water. In addition he asked us to use the basins water to drink which was a ridiculous suggestion!!😳😳😳 if we can afford to travel internationally and in business class we can definitely afford to buy water bottles. The staff was unfriendly, no microwave, no refrigerator to store my husbands insulin. The rooms were basic, we also had to request bath tissue which was NOT replenished after they cleaned the room. Very unsatisfactory experience

This property is connected to the zoo. The entrance and parking is very limited and tight. It was clean and will do especially with children visiting the zoo. However, we were not visiting the zoo and found it adequate but not for the price we paid compared to other hotels we stayed out in the area. It's a 3 star for us

Very comfortable stay and great hotel. Great location and bus stop right out the front so although there isn’t too much right in the vacinity it was easy to get to places. Bed was very comfortable and great pillows…big plus for me with all my travelling. Not all pillows are equal.
