Good location. The reception looks nice and staff is friendly. We had agreed on a wakeup call since we had an early morning flight but they forgot that, we got up with our own alarms so that turned out fine fortunately. The reception area looks nice, the rooms are old and need some upgrade. I would not classic this as a 5 star hotel, 3 stars at top. The staff was very friendly and helpful! And the location is good ☺️
