Great hotel, next door to the exhibition centre, train station less than 5mins away with line servicing the center (1 stop away) and the airport ( direct , about 30mins journey costing 4.80 euros single way). Staff very friendly, room was clean and nicely layered. Restaurant and bar food very good.

Recommendation to Holiday Inn

Room was nice, clean, and spacious. Bed comfy (even softer vs firmer pillows to choose from). There were table and chair for working, which was good. And as a cherry on the top; even a little couch for just chilling. Thank you, it was a very comfortable stay.

Not a good first impression, but got better

Arriving to the hotel was not so friendly, slow action and almost unfriendly in the reception. I felt I was there for the official and not the opposite. But the room, the breakfast and other things worked well.

A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. The staff are really pleasant and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, modern and up to date, and have everything you need. The breakfast was amazing; so many options! Everything from cooked, to cereal, cheese platters and deli meats, pastries, eggs, even salad. Gluton free also catered for. Less than a ten minute walk to the local mall for anything else you need.

Breakfast disappintment but otherwise good

Overall everything was very good. But the breakfast was not. Sunday morning, I guess hotel was full but in this kind of hotel I assume that they are aware how to handel things. By breakfast everything was over. More products were occasionally imported, but the tables were completely congested and there was a lot of queuing, and still the products ran out. This was a big disappointment.
