I enjoyed a lovely stay at Central Inn Souq Waqif. The location was fantastic, being an easy walk to the Souq Waqif and nearby attractions. However, the check-in process took longer than expected due to a queue, and the coffee machine at breakfast was out of order, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, I would still rate my experience quite positively! 😊
