Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station

Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station

8/10 Good
"This is a basic hotel in a great, central location. The staff are friendly and there's a nice lounge where you can enjoy a drink. The rooms are small and comfortable, with only a few hooks for hanging clothes. Recommended for a short stay in the heart of the city."
