    Overnight between flights.

    Single occupancy in room with en suite. Clean, comfortable and at a budget price.Being an oldie, I expected to be a bit out of place, but this was not the case.Plenty of offers to carry my bag which was very much appreciated.

    Thank you for contacting us. Our building is of an older style without an elevator and all rooms are located on upper levels. I would suggest looking at Hostels in the city centre area for a more wheelchair accessible option.
