"Hotel is in a great location in the centre of the city with loads of eating options on the doorstep, directly opposite the bus stop which runs to the airport which was very convenient. Lots of room in our 2 bedroom apartment, we only stayed one night but would be perfect for a longer stay. There is no reception so no where to leave bags for early check in or late check out but there is a partner hotel nearby which we were told we could leave our bags if required."
