The airport shuttle was a really great and helpful service. You get out of the airport and there is a bus station for hotel busses, where they pick you up. Furthermore, the room was very modern, clean and equipped with a coffee machine, big glass window and a good hairdryer. And if you still have energy in the evening, you can visit the shopping mall, which is beside the hotel.

My parents stayed here for a night due to a long overlay and this hotel is amazing. They arrived late at night and the shuttle was already waiting for them at the airport which I appreciate so much! Then they had to leave very early the next day and the shuttle was ready for them to head back to the airport. They staff was amazing and the hotel was beautiful.
