Top Strategic Tips

    Book an airport transfer directly with the property for €60 (up to three people) plus €5 per extra person; a €10 surcharge applies between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

  • 02

    Request a room away from neighboring units or the shared kitchen to minimize noise from thin walls.

  • 03

    Arrive early and use the luggage storage if your room isn't ready; the property offers baggage storage before check-in.

  • 04

    Confirm room size and amenities when booking, as some rooms are compact and lack storage space.
