The hotel provided a very clean and comfortable stay with spacious rooms and a simple breakfast available from 6:00 AM, ideal for early flights. The service was generally friendly and helpful, although a blocked shower drain was a notable inconvenience. The location was excellent for airport access, but there were concerns about the hot water capacity in the shower. The dining experience was highly rated with delicious options available. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The service was top-notch, with the staff being charming, polite, and incredibly helpful. The location was convenient, especially with the free airport shuttle service.

The hotel offers very good quality rooms for the price, although they are a bit on the small side; still suitable for an overnight stay.

The hotel is situated by the airport with a handy free shuttle service, meeting our needs.

The hotel is a bit far from the main area but exceptionally clean with crisp bed linen. The service is friendly and helpful, although a bit strange with the steak order. The location is perfect for an early flight and the shuttle service is excellent, although the electric jug needed replacing late at night. The dining experience is average in terms of temperature and variety, but traditional shabu-shabu is available. Facilities are standard.
