Best Western Central Hotel

This hotel was recommended as the best available in Arad, for a business trip for a couple of days. It’s clean but that’s the best thing I can say. The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming, the room was dated and depressingly decorated. Free sparkling wine mini bottle but water would have to be purchased from the minibar. The bathroom had a tray of complementary soap, shampoo and sundries but most were empty. I took the empty ones out and put to one side, but returned to find the maid had put them back in the tray, very strange. Not shower curtain or screen adjacent to the shower over bath so floor ended up wet despite best efforts to make do without it. Nice bed but shame there are no curtains and the shutters didn’t exclude the morning sun nor the twittering wild life. Breakfast not particularly great, lukewarm hot food and cold buffet only just adequate. I’m not planning to return to Romania any time soon, if I did I’d risk trying another option. less

Very nice and clean hotel!!!! Good continental breakfast and very polite staff! Rooms are big with comfy beds and modern furniture. One of the best hotels I've ever been. And FREE PRIVATE PARKING!!!💯RECOMMENDED!!! less

The Central hotel is very well positioned in the centre of Arad, at 300 m from the city hall and the main boulevard and has fairly good services. Some of its employees were kind, but some others weren't. The facilities are few, but ok. The meeting / training room is wrongly placed at the semi-basement, so has not enough natural light which affects people in a long run. The chairs are very uncomfortable, so unbearable for the entire day. The food is all right, but nothing special. The prices are faire. less

The only reason to be in Arad is to break a journey between Romania and Hungary. This hotel is very central near city hall, 2 km S of railway & bus stations down broad bvd. It's in a mid-rise block set back from street, so it's quiet. Friendly staff speak good English. Big comfy room, good rate, okay breakfast. Odd mezzanine lift: it serves between floors, so you're always walking half a flight to get in and out. I didn't need so didn't enquire about mobility access, I'm guessing there's also a staff lift for laundry skips etc level with floors. Arad has a cluster of fine public buildings around city square. A little south is a dilapidated square in 19th C Austrian style. And that's about it. Plenty of cafes. One night is enough, then go somewhere interesting on the mid-afternoon train that plies between Budapest and Transylvania. less

Hotel nicely located close to the main square, main alley and fortress. Parking available free of charge. Staff very friendly. Rooms clean, warm and with comfortable beds. Good restaurant. Some difficulties might be for disabled people no possibility of using wheelchair.. less
