    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.

    We love staying here. The place has a beautiful and stylish design based on the North Sea. It's very calming and inviting. The facilities are clean and comfortable, and the surrounding views of trees and the neighborhood are lovely. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is useful. We love the location because it's a short walk from the train, but out of the way from the city noise and action. A peaceful place to come back. Self check-in is easy and convenient.
