This hotel has been amazing. They offer a free shuttle service to and from the airport. My flight had a 3 hour delay and they still came out and collected me at 2.30 am. My hotel room was sooooo big, especially the bathroom with his and her sinks.The shower was very powerful and this helped me especially with the lack of sleep. The team here are so attentive and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay the best it can be. The hotel is very clean and situated so close to the airport. I will be back. Thank you so much 5******

Nice location. The grounds was well keep. I was in a slanted roof room, which makes me have to watch my head a bit when I get up. But the rooms were huge and I have a great view of the garden. The restaurant on-site had a variety of food choices. I would stay there again. Issues with room key not working and had to make trips up and down, which I was a little annoyed with because I was tired from walking the Camino de Santiago. I enjoyed the stop.
