Well, I'm back here for my second stay after I was here for two weeks about a month ago, and I cant say it's been a great experience.

So it starts with a really great shuttle ride from the airport straight to the hotel door, (service runs every 20 minutes), but after I checked in, (also good) I went to my room. I was told at reception that I had been upgraded as I stayed before (two weeks) but I didn't notice any difference.

Part of the door lock (the plate on the thin side of the door) only had one screw, so when the door shut on it's own, it didn't actually shut, I had to hold the plate in place for it to click shut. Nothing too bad, but I left a note in the room 3 days running before it was fixed.

Whenever I go to a hotel, I always look for the fire escape route, (all to do with my job training) and to be honest, I would not like to be in this hotel in the event of an emergency. Yes there are signs saying where the stairs are, but they are not easy to find and I feel should be a lot more obvious. Hanging signs in the corridoor indicating the stairs would be a great idea.

Went to the gym, baking hot, not sure if the aircon was working or not, but too hot to workout in my opinion. Looking out from the window of the gym to the pool I could see the jacuzzi was empty (like last time I stayed) and there was a lady sitting on the steps of the pool on her phone with a bottle (glass) of beer. Is that allowed? Also, the red emergency phone on the wall was clearly not in use/broken, also like last time. I asked at reception about the jacuzzi and it was going to be fixed at the weekend. Oh well.

In the room, coffee time I thought, my only gripe here is, only 2 tiny milks, but about 10 sugars and 6 coffee packets? Guess what wasn't refilled the next morning, the milks, so I had to ask the lovely lady servicing the room next door, did catch your name but thank you.

The carpet in my room was all bumpy and rippled, not great. Could be a trip hazard for some. The shower, well the water just ran down the tiled side to the end, turned the corner, along the back and all over the floor, didn't realize till I got out, that took some clearing up!

There is a safe in the room and the bed was very nice. Big TV and curtains that blacked out the room, shame you can still hear planes going overhead though.

So, is there any good points you ask? Yes, of course there is.

The hotel is rather beautiful in the main public parts, I'm sitting in the lounge just in front of the bar typing this. The ambiance is quiet, soft music playing, fish in the indoor pond (which looks to me like it could use some more water in it, but I could be wrong). There are TV screens on the wall and behind the bar showing sport. The bar menu is simple and offers quite a few different dishes covering Meat, Burgers, Fish, Pasta etc, Everything I have tried has been very nice.

Over the 3 weeks I have spent here I have met quite a few of the staff but would like to say a massive 'thank you' to two of the bar staff, Reme and Gihane. They have always greeted me with a smile, engaged in conversation and made me feel very welcome. They are a credit to the hotel, thank you :-) (Reme, i'll bring more magic tricks if I come again, lol).

Would I stay again? If I was here on training for my work yes, as it's close to the airport and training room, If I was here with my wife for a trip to Paris, no.

After reading a lot of reviews on here, I have noticed that there are people not getting rooms on time even though they have been booked. I think this is due to the amount of airline crew who stay at the hotel who get late check outs. I could be wrong, but that's just how it looks maybe.
