"Hotel is nice, but it’s not a 5 star. I would say 4 stars is about right.
However worth noting it’s priced like a 4 star so I can’t complain.
Rooms were decent. Dated, but nice and comfy. Location is great, and staff were nice. "
"Very good location near historic old town. A few minutes walk from the Aerobus (airport to town public transport) stop. Breakfast buffet was good. Staff were all very welcoming and gave advice on local trips etc.... Glad we chose to stay here."
