Central Stay with Helpful Staff

convenient locationcomfortable bednoticeable light

the location is very convenient as the bus station is across the street. the bed was very comfortable, and i found the staff to be nice. i particularly enjoyed the breakfast options available to me each morning. i certainly appreciated the proximity to transportation hubs.

the light under the door was quite noticeable throughout the night. this affected the quality of my sleep . i also found it difficult to determine which pillow was the softer option, as both felt rather firm..

Service

i found the location very convenient. it was in the city center. the staff were helpful during check-in.

the room felt smaller than expected. the sofa bed nearly blocked access to the bathroom once opened. breakfast was repetitive each day. i noticed the same items were offered and i eventually skipped it.
