Würde ich nicht mehr buchen, obwohl es preisgünstig war

Pros: Die Lage ist bez. An- oder Abreise sehr zentral flughafennahe Cons: Es war sehr laut - man hatte das Gefühl dass die auf der Straße fahrenden Autos direkt am Bett vorbeifahren. Das Bett sah nicht frisch bezogen aus - es war komplett zerknittert, als ob der Vorbewohner unmittelbar vorher das Zimmer verlassen hätte.

Wouldn’t go near the place again

Pros: Air con worked Cons: Fluoro lights and even then some didn’t work - starters faulty Bed linen was grubby Tea towel and cups were filthy Had random guy sleeping in the “common”lounge area Shower had mould and smelt bad Noisy because of close proximity of traffic to rooms

Pros: Having the shuttle bus service was good as it was not as close to the airport as advertised Cons: The kitchen area could do with an update and utensils were limited and could do with a deep clean. The mugs were scarce and very tea stained

Pros: It is close to the Airport. Has AC. Overall it was fine. Average. I was expecting something a little nicer for sure. Cons: The transfer is NOT free. Despite being a 3 to 4 minute drive, it was £30 return for myself and two kids. Up until last year, reviewers said it was £1 per person each way. That extra money would have comfortably evened out paying that wee but extra for the Radisson Blu directly next to the Airport. At least there the room would have been clean, the kitchen too and no need to share a bathroom either. The TV didn't work in the room.
