I am now into my third stint as a long-term guest at First Central, and consistently return due to the positive experiences of the past. The place and the staff have served me well in general and it is a great option as a base for someone who works remotely and consistently on the move. The locality has convenient connectivity/transport options and presence of useful service establishments within walking distance. Not much has changed at the hotel since I stayed the last time, this includes the interior and facilities of the room; they can seem dated to some (old sofas and TV), however don't fall short in any way. While there are some new faces at reception, they have always been professional and helpful. The staff at the concierge always go out of their way to help in any scenario and do not forget a familiar face. The cleaning staff are also efficient and consistent with their work. The sales department have ever-changing members and do not seem to be as engaging as before. Keeping in mind the continual high demand, they almost seem to have the attitude that if you do not end up agreeing the terms they offer straight up, someone else will regardless of your positive history and loyalty with the place before. All in all, the positives outweigh the slight negatives, and you get a satisfactory overall experience as a long-term guest which is why it remains my preferred choice in the city. My favorite part of the hotel by far is its café/restaurant known as Beastro as quite often half of my weekday ends up getting spent there. The breakfast package is absolutely bang for the buck for long-term guests, while the ala-carte menu offers the correct variety and balance. Every item I have tried is cooked in a way that you can instantly feel that quality is a factor strongly considered. The space is somewhat critical to me as it is my prime spot to get work done, and their great coffee helps with the productivity. The music list has finally been updated and elevated the vibe. All of this is made possible by the heartwarming hospitality offered by the well-trained bubbly staff. I have known some of them like Talha, Rustam, and Jenny from my time before. They recognized me instantly when I got back and since then have always made me feel like I was back home. All of this is a testament to their wonderful manager Joan who leads by example every single day from the early hours of the morning till the evening, and always goes the extra mile to make sure that the service is up to a high standard. It is evident to see that her team feeds off her positive energy and they make a very professional and likeable unit.
