We stayed here for our wedding in the city and couldn't have been happier. It felt so luxurious and homely at the same time. The host was absolutely lovely and great with communication. Having the kids cutlery and bowls available for use was so appreciated. Would absolutely recommend for a small family to stay! Despite only being one bedroom it did not feel cramped at all.

    It does what it says on the tin - a budget airport hotel. A surprisingly long taxi ride from the Domestic Terminal (but much closer, I think, to the International Terminal. Friendly and helpful receptionist. Small but spotless room (air con a bit noisy but not enough to disturb our sleep). Machines selling snacks in foyer. Several taxis outside when we left at 6am (but Uber was cheaper).
