Breakfast

The beds in the rooms are frequently mentioned as comfortable, which adds to the overall experience. The bathrooms, though clean, could benefit from modern upgrades. The lighting in some rooms was found to be inadequate, contributing to a darker atmosphere, especially in rooms with windows facing inner courtyards. There are also rooms with pleasant city views which were appreciated by guests.
Although the hotel itself shows signs of being outdated, the staff received positive feedback for their friendliness. Simple room furnishings and absence of closets in certain rooms were minor drawbacks. Occasionally, a few rooms had issues with the smell of cigarette smoke.
Overall, despite some variability in room size and furnishing, Sunotel Central provides a satisfactory accommodation experience for those looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay during their city trip.
Beds
