damp basement odormosquito problem
The room had a distinct odor similar to a damp basement. It caused some breathing issues initially. The staff offered no assistance and alternative rooms were unavailable. As a result, the window remained open most of the time, and mosquitoes became a problem.

Wonderful Central Stay!

convenient locationdaily room cleaninghelpful receptioneasy transportation
I found the location very convenient. It was close to restaurants, shops, and the central square. The 24-hour reception was helpful, and the room cleaning service came daily. I found transportation easy, with the L2 tram going to and from the airport.
The sink in the bathroom drained a bit slowly.
