Satisfactory Central Stay
central locationspacious roomsmooth check-intiny roompoor bathroomsteamy air
The location felt central. It was near some public transport. The room looked spacious. I noticed it was clean. Check-in went smoothly. Self-check-out offered convenience.
My room seemed tiny. It felt quite expensive for the space I got. The bathroom layout was poor. I felt it lacked windows. It was hot and steamy.

the location is quite handy. the building has a nice character. the room was quite comfortable, i slept well. it is close to the tram station going to the airport.
the check-in process is completely online, i found it complicated. there was no one at the front desk at any time. i tried to call the owner but he never returned my call, i think a person at the reception is necessary.
