Central Stay Was superb

friendly staff great selection
I stayed for three nights in a twin room, and I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet offered a great selection of dishes suitable for all tastes. A special mention goes to the flatbreads I enjoyed . It was amazing.
I noticed the hotel appears a little more dated than the pictures displayed online. The neighborhood did not feel super safe to me after dark. The hotel needs some improvements.
Facilities
