central stay

friendly staff great location clean room
the staff was friendly and helpful, especially at reception. breakfast was good, and the presentation was nice. the location was great, near the pedestrian area and transportation. the rooms were clean and had ample space.
the bathroom sometimes had a slight sewer smell. to deal with this, i opened the balcony doors to air the room. also, the shower lacked a proper shelf for shampoo and soap.
