The property was clean and looked new and modern. Its proxity to airport and Antartic Center which was a great convenience. Its a expensive property for the area .. so expect some good working functional systems in room. 1. Looks like the AC temp was fixed. .The temp could not be changed. 2. The bathrooms and shower were separate which we liked. BUT the doors have no privacy as their hinges are large and viewable. Maybe its a cultural thing. we expect the bathrooms and toilet to be fully covered .

We had an early flight the next day and this hotel was the perfect choice. So quiet and clean. Very short walk to the airport. Great restaurant on the top floor with a lovely menu and good views of the runway.

Checked in and the room was 24°c which was terrible. Adjusted the r thermostat and went to dinner. 90 minutes later the room hadn’t changed temp. I called the desk she asked some questions then said call back in five minutes if it’s not working, I told explained it had not moved in 90 minutes but she basically hung up on me. 12 hours later it had dropped to 22°c. If you like a cool room that the AC works this isn’t the place. The proximity to the terminal is the only reason it was booked

As with most people I am sure, this was a convenient stay before catching a flight. Room was clean and comfortable. Dinner was ok, nothing special and a good breakfast. We asked for some poached eggs as the scrambled eggs looked like they had been there a while!
