The property has recently been refurbished, and it is still spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and helpful.The only negative was that the parking fee was too high

Overall the hotel is fine, good condition, clean, modern facilities. The staff is superb, extremely helpful. The reason for not giving a rating of 5 is because of the shuttle service to the airport. I chose this property because they have a shuttle running from 4:00 am and we needed to be at the airport at around 5:30 am. Well, we couldn't use the shuttle at the end since the pick up location is about a block from the main entrance -the shuttle is a big bus that service several hotels and it couldn't turn in a small round about in front of the hotel-. It happens that the day we needed the shuttle it was raining heavily and that combined with the fact that my husband can not stand for long prevented us from using the service. A taxi to the airport, even though the hotel is not far away cost us about €30.

Perfect for a layover. We used uber to get downtown and enjoy an evening of sight seeing and the location worked for that. About a 25 Euro trip to downtown. Hotel was clean and modern. Breakfast proviede a little less than in other Holiday Inn Express we have stayed at but that may be a country thing.

Overall stay was fine and free parking was a plus but rated average on comfort as the air conditioning was not working and not had a comfortable night. Although the staff was helpful at late night but the problem couldn’t be fixed.

It was exactly what we needed. We were there in order to be close to the airport for our following morning departure. The hotel is a bit of a walk (uphill) from the train station, but we made it and the airport shuttle was a welcome addition. The breakfast was impressive and our room looked newly renovated. Overall we were impressed
