Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
“It was very close to the airport and it has a complementary shuttle bus. What is running from 4 o’clock in the morning for free. At the moment they’re renovating, but they’re very respectful with anything affecting customers.”
