La navette pour l’aéroport est un service payant qu’on peut prendre à partir de l’aéroport et qui arrive à la gare tout près de l’hôtel. Ce n’est pas un service offert par l’hôtel et ça ne vous mène pas directement à l’hôtel. L’hôtel est très bien situé, à un design moderne, le personnel est S-U-P-E-R! Nous avions pris la peine d’écrire à l’Hotel pour leur mentionner quelques détails et ils etaient prêt à notre arrivé! Il y a un ascenseur de bonne dimension. On peut y entrer 2 avec des valises!

Due to the Rugby World Cup, the price of the hotel was over double to what it was previously. Definitely not worth the money. Very basic and small. There was a kettle in the room and just 1 tea bag & no coffee. Even thou the room was advertised as facilities: kettle, instant coffee & tea bags etc. will not be staying again.
