The Bonnington Hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, with comfortable beds, and some guests particularly enjoyed having a bathtub. Its location is convenient, with bus stops nearby for easy access to the city centre and the airport. The hotel also features a great pool, spa, and gym, while some found the shower's hot water a bit tricky to adjust. Delicious breakfasts and an on-site restaurant are commonly appreciated.
