- Who it suits
- The earliest flights from Terminal 3, late arrivals who only need a few hours, and long layovers.
- Why we would choose it
- It is in the Terminal 3 arrivals hall, next to the car rental desks, so you are already in the building when you wake up. You can book from one hour up to 24.
- The compromise
- A compact, functional hotel with 82 rooms. You are sleeping in an airport terminal, not at a full hotel.
- Worth paying more?
- This is about fit, not price. Choose it when your flight is very early; choose a full hotel when you want a proper evening.
