My second stay at this hotel and it’s very convenient, being adjacent to the motorway. The staff are always courteous and helpful and the rooms clean, tidy and comfortable. I genuinely have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, or staying there again.

Super and close to the highway

Due to work on the building, it was difficult to find the hotel as scafolding was hiding the logo. But the hotel itselfe was super

What I liked the most was having a small kitchenette. With two little ones, was good to be able to warm their bottles, or prepare some snacks. The room was super clean and modern.
Cintia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very spacious and good. I booked a suite and it had two double bed, a dining table and a kitchennete. We really enjoyed the room as we were 4 people. The only thing was there was no dustbin bag so sometimes we had issues in storing wet dust.
