Who it suits
Cents sits on the plateau east of Clausen and Neudorf, above the Alzette valley and just south of the airport approach. It's a residential district of family houses and modest apartment blocks. It suits travellers with early flights (the airport is 8 minutes by taxi), drivers passing through, and anyone stopping over between cities with no plans to sightsee.
It doesn’t suit tourists on a short trip. There is nothing to see in Cents itself, restaurants are few, and the old town requires a bus and change or a taxi.
Price and access
A handful of small hotels and B&Bs at 90-140 EUR, some catering explicitly to the airport market. This is among the cheapest sleep near the city.
Walkable: essentially nothing of tourist interest, though the Kalchesbréck woods on the eastern edge are pleasant for a run. Bus 29 links Cents to Gare Centrale in about 20 minutes; bus 16 passes en route to the airport. A car makes stays here dramatically easier.
Questions, answered
Is Cents good for an airport layover?
Yes — hotels here are cheaper than the airport zone itself and the drive to Findel is under 10 minutes.
Can I walk to the old town from Cents?
Technically yes in 35-40 minutes, but it involves a steep descent to Neudorf and back up. Bus is far easier.
