As an more economical alternative to the hotels on the Airports doorstop, you cannot knock the Golden Leaf. It is about 5-10 Minutes taxi from the terminal which cost Euro 13.40. I stayed at the Mercure last year which is 100 yards away and Golden Leaf is better value although the Mercure has a shuttle bus.
Staff are friendly enough, in particular the bar and restaurent staff, rooms and hotel clean enough - it is just there is nothing around the hotel whatsoever. An Esso Petrol Station and Lidl is about all and I had a walk at 8.00pm and did not see a single person despite walking about a mile in a big loop.
Also Check Out was a farce, I had to leave by 5.30am and got there at 5.10am to find 9 other guests in group making it really hard work for the sole receptionist, arguing about bar bills and other charges. When I arrived they did not swipe my card so I had to check out, in the past I would have walked out and called the hotel later. I eventually left at 5.50am, which less me little time to settle in the airport.
On the subject of bar bills, the bar man asked me how many drinks I had as he had not written it down, so maybe there is no wonder the other party were arguing.
Overall stay here if you are late arriving, however if you are solo and arrving before 7.00pm either stay somewhere else or leave your luggage at the airport, go off to the city until later then come back. Do not waste money going to the hotel by Taxi and checking in first.
