"The Good: It was fantastic to have a private space where we could rest, charge devices, get clean and sleep between flights. Will definitely do this again. The 'Bad': The bathroom was fine but there was no hand soap at the sink and some dribbles of soap from dispenser over the bath which made me wonder about how thoroughly it had been cleaned. I didn't have an issue with the coldness of the room but maybe I would have been cold if I was in the bed alone. If you're sensitive to noise you might want earplugs as you can distantly hear some of the announcements. Room to Improve It would be great to be able to access the departures info from inside the room. Also the booking system is a bit off putting because you have to book an overnight when you only want a few hours and it's not clear if the check in/out times will work until after booking. Overall though, I would definitely recommend staying here if you have a reasonably long layover."
