“This was not really a hotel but a hostel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010

I thought we had booked a cheap motel but it was more like a hostel. the rooms are so tiny. They get very hot in the rooms too stifling hot to the point of uncomfortableness. There are no tv's and the rooms aren't cosy you have to walk to get to any restaurants there is nothing immediately nearby. It's situated between a gas station and the train station. I will not be back better to pay the extra bucks to stay somewhere decent. The only good thing is you are only a few blocks away from the downtown city.

“Ideal budget option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

Once you get over the fact that this is a prefabricated portacabin of a building, this is a really good budget option. There is a risk of noise, being near to the port, railway and a car park, but I wasn't disturbed by anything in my three night there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were basic but reasonably clean and comfortable and provided everything I needed. All in all if you don't want to spend much money, this is a safe and practical choice.

“Great Place to Stay on Budget”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009

Centrum Budget is perfect place to stay if looking for afforable accomadations right next to public transport and walking distance to city central. I arrived early prior to room check in and the attendant at front desk let me keep my luggage in the office until my room was ready.
The hotel reminds me of a hostel with rooms on the smaller side that consist of bunkbeds for sleeping. Each room does have a private bath with toliet and stand-up shower. You are given your linens at check-in and are expected to put them in a hopper in the hallway following your stay. There was a community kitchen at least on floor I was staying that seemed to be getting a fair amount of use from those staying an extended time.
Overall, I was very happy with my time at the hotel: my room and the hotel in general were very clean and well maintained. I never had a problem with noise issues and people staying at the hotel were very courteous.
If I could think of one minor disadvantage, it would be that the hotel sits off a major highway so traffic noise, while slight, was present.
I definately would stay again and would not hesistate recommending it to others.

“Cheap, Clean and Convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2009

person found this review helpful

Small rooms with bunker beds, single or double optional. The difference is a desk..

It had a good location, just next to train, ferry and highway and the business center.

The rooms were clean and it gave me what i needed.

“Clean, basic and very handy”

The rooms are very basic, but the place is very clean, has free WiFi internet, and is in a super handy position to the train and ferries. I needed an overnight stopover prior to catching the ferry to Hirtshals and this place is ideal.
