Excellent Experience at Central Hotel
convenient locationreliable shuttlecommunal microwavehelpful amenity
I found a convenient location with a reliable shuttle service to the Waterfront. The Cullinan shuttle accommodated the overflow from one overcrowded last shuttle. I appreciated that a communal microwave was available for guest use, helpful for reheating leftovers. It was particularly useful when travelling with children.
The room lacked proper sound isolation, making noises from adjacent rooms quite audible.
Rooms

The room provided comfortable beds, and it featured both a shower and a bathtub. I had a good view from the 12th-floor room. It was equipped with standard amenities.
