Very nice hotel. Clean, convenient to all amenities. Staff friendly, comfortable bed.food was great. Will stay there again. Only make ure you have booked your taxi before you leave the airport. Taxis prices outrages. Get the bus back to the airport or get the A bus outside the ibis hotel outside the airport to the main town bus station and walk through the shopping Mall Thistle express is a little way along on your right.
