Transfer Tip: Hoppa
Don’t forget to book your transfer with Hoppa for travel to/from the airport (or stadium). Hoppa offers fixed-price transfers, often to all these hotels. Having a transfer arranged means no stress hauling bags, no uncertainty, especially if you land late or are jet-lagged. Check Hoppa’s site in advance to see which hotels are covered and compare with shuttle or taxi cost.
Final Thoughts
- If you have early or late flights, stay right near the airport (Premier Inn, Radisson, Novotel) to minimise travel.
- For business stays, mid-range options offer meeting rooms & amenities.
- For holiday stopovers, sometimes paying more for comfort and a good rest can make all the difference.
