Was lovely, we arrived early in the morning so paid for a buffet breakfast which was amazing! Were able to get a slightly earlier check in at our request. Lots of power points for phones/laptops, spacious room. Staff were ready to assist, helpful and positive. Right next to airport so easy to see, easy to walk to, easy access to early morning flight.

The property was clean and looked new and modern. Its proxity to airport and Antartic Center which was a great convenience. Its a expensive property for the area .. so expect some good working functional systems in room. 1. Looks like the AC temp was fixed. .The temp could not be changed. 2. The bathrooms and shower were separate which we liked. BUT the doors have no privacy as their hinges are large and viewable. Maybe its a cultural thing. we expect the bathrooms and toilet to be fully covered .
