Overnight stay
The stay was only for one night before our onward journey. We ate in the cafe area on a couple of occasions and everyone in the group had something different but everyone said the food was delicious.

Perfectly fine option
Perfectly fine overnight between flights. Hotel restaurant was very reasonable for the quality, at least with the current exchange rate. The Intercontinental is swankier but also 4x the price

Love the staff, attached to the airport, felt safe walking to hotel alone as a single female.
The rooms are fantastic- the food is wonderful and all the staff were very engaging.
