The hotel arranged complimentary transport to the airport. The rooms were comfortable (i especially liked the bed) and very clean with good amenities. I appreciated the gym being open 24/7 and the steam room too.
i found that the wifi speed was a bit slow. It was sometimes difficult to connect and maintain a stable connection.

Lovely stay near the airport

This hotel was immaculate. The room was well-appointed and the bed was comfortable. The crew was very attentive, and I enjoyed my stay. The lobby staff named Jehad and Sammy were so nice, and remembered my order for hot chocolate.
I wish there was something done to address the noise. It was difficult to open the windows. I do understand this is common for hotels in the region, but fresh air would be lovely.
