Excellent staff and covenant location close to the main train station and tram stop. The room was clean and a good size. Breakfast was abundant and tasty. My only gripe was the shower as it was nearly impossible not to get the floor wet.

Clean and very convenient to Terminal 1. Staff were very efficient and professional. I appreciated no fragrances used in room or common spaces. The dining area during dinner smelled like jet exhaust.
