Alexandre Hotel Frontair Congress
Latest booking 12 hrs ago
We stayed overnight before boarding a cruise ship from the port. They operate a free shuttle from the airport, and that worked very well. The hotel itself is located in the middle of a shopping centre (that is closed on Sundays). Check in was very simple and the staff welcoming. I was curious that they didn't ask for a credit card for any extra's, but it turned out that there was no mini bar in the room and the bar and restaurant had to be paid for in real time. The room was clean, but basic. No English speaking channels on the TV, so if you don't use the spa and the shops are shut, there is not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. No tea or coffee making facilities in room and no complimentary water bottle, which would have been very welcome. Restaurant has a limited menu for dinner but a very comprehensive breakfast buffet. All the food was fresh and cooked well, but on a Saturday night there were very few dinners, so don't worry about booking. I was told they operated a shuttle to the port and I booked it upon arrival. They did advise me that it was not free. As it turned out, they ordered a Taxi for me, they charged me €30 which I had to pay before getting into the taxi. The taxi ride took less than 10 minutes and I have a feeling that if I had of called a taxi without asking the hotel, it would have been significantly cheaper. I think that the €30 is split between the hotel and the driver, could be wrong. Would I stay there again - yes, but for one night only.
