Review of Hampton 3*

The Hampton by Hilton Chopin Airport is situated just off the main airport building. Unlike the Courtyard by Marriott which sits directly opposite the main terminal. It’s about a 10-minute shuttle bus transfer to the hotel. Opening up into a large reception area, the hotel has a basic restaurant and bar which also serves as the breakfast area. As usual in the Hampton brand, breakfast is included in the price. Check in was swift and as I was on a prepaid rate I didn’t need to leave an authorisation on my card. All rooms are pretty much standard and I was given one on the fourth floor. The room felt small, but it does have tea/coffee facilities and also a desk and a settee. It was a proper desk, which makes me happy. Although I didn’t need to do much work, having somewhere to open my laptop fully and also use my mouse made it much easier. Unlike the Hilton, there weren’t any international sockets, so remember your adapter. The bed was comfortable, but only as I like a hard mattress, the pillows were a bit too soft for me. I was glad there were four on the bed, so I could try to get a bit of support. There wasn’t a wardrobe but a rail and hangers. More hotels are switching to this style; I was only staying one night so I didn’t use it anyway! Unlike the Hampton in the city centre, the Chopin Airport hotel has a normal door on the bathroom. As to be expected for a budget hotel there was just a shower and the amenities were affixed to the wall. Overall you can’t go wrong at this hotel. It does exactly what you want from a crashpad waiting for the flight.
