"The room is nice, if small, with a rainwater shower, also nice and very clean. Wonderful coffee in the room, maybe the best I've ever had in a hotel (Nescafe, with delicious Italian espresso pods). Staff very friendly and helpful, though I had limited interactions. The main downside: it is not that close to the airport -- supposedly one can walk (or take a public bus) from Terminal 2 but Terminal 2 is already a shuttle ride away from the other terminals. So this really means taking a taxi from Terminal 1, which is 15-20 euros each way (for a 5 minute ride), and just a bit of a hassle when you wanted an airport hotel (Hilton is actually IN the airport, this really is not convenient like that)."
