    Free minibar and good quality coffee, internet, beautiful lobby, mini designer shop that I bought a jacket and enjoy wearing it. We spent a lot of time in the lobby as in Xmas time restaurants were closed for a few days. It feels like a coffee/bar. Heating was not working in our room in the day we arrived but the personnel solved the problem quickly. It was a little far from city center yet we loved to walk despite the rain and cold. The designer touches and posters on the wall, we loved a lot.

    The reception/lounge/breakfast area was very cosy and well designed and resembled a boutique hotel rather than an airport hotel. The staff was super friendly, they had freshly baked gluten free buns for me every morning and just made staying in the lounge a pleasant experience. As a result the lounge/bar was busy and enjoyable in the evening which is a great plus for an airport motel. Rooms were well designed too, bed comfortable and the TV showed a nice fire place whenever we entered. We were truly pleasantly surprised.
