Warm welcome in The Central Hotel
Pros:

The warm welcome by the staff really means so much. The hotel is very clean and the room very comfortable.

Cons:

The lifts don't really get to your floor. There are many steps to be negotiated in between, which are nor easy with heavy luggage

Pros:

De locatie Personeel was vriendelijk.

Cons:

De kamer was klein, oud en aftands. De badkamer was echt goor zo vies. Hele vieze bruine en zwarte voegen. De prijs kwaliteit verhouding klopt totaal niet € 200,- voor een dergelijke smerige kamer zonder ontbijt is buitensporig duur. Absolluut geen aanrader. Ik zou dan liever een ander hotel uitkiezen.
