    Good budget accommodation in the very heart of Geneva
    We stayed here as a couple for two nights. The first thing to emphasise is that this IS budget accommodation that probably would be better described as "rooms" rather than a hotel. The reception is located on the 6th floor and there is a lift. We received a very warm and…

    Noisy, old, dirty with tiny rooms
    Dont be confused by their photos published here: in the reality it is noisy, old, dirty and with tiny rooms. Rooms are really small. Bathroom is shared on the floor. Its more an hostel than an hotel. Very low value for money unfortunately.

    Dear matteomandelli88 Very surprised to receive your comments....we have not had a one since we refurbished the hotel 2 years ago and even before I cannot recall such a note!. The pictures are very clear on booking.com through whom you booked that it is a small bunkbedded room with shower and sink in the room and a shared toilet in the corridor for 2 budget rooms. Not as you say a shared bathroom, only the toilet. The rate is accordingly Sfr 60.- perperson including breakfast and taxes. The rooms were all refurbished 2 years ago and we do not have a reputation for dirty rooms. I do not accept your comments which are distructive and not according to reality. I looked at your other tripadvisor comments and you rarely seem to have enjoyed anywhere where you have been. You are staying one more night and I ask you to come and see me to prove your comments. It is just too easy to destroy a small family hotel's reputation with false acusations. I look forward to hearing from you. Erik Gangsted Hôtel Central Owner

    Great location, good price, what's not to like?
    Great location, and very reasonably priced for Geneva. We were booked into a triple room but got upgraded to an apartment. However reckon it would be worth the money even if we'd paid full price - very spacious, spotlessly clean, and well equipped. Even without the upgrade,…

    So central !
    Really ideal location in the old city. Not on the ground floor, entrance is by 2 lifts to the 6th and 5th floors. Rooms very clean, balcony, TV, nicely served continental breakfast in own room. Coffee could have been hotter. Very friendly and helpful reception. Really…

    Very nice Stay
    The room was nice, a little bit old school but still very clean and comfortable. In my opinion the rooms need a little renovation but still would go to this place. the breakfast is in your room so it's really nice the only down side was that we didn't have a real table to eat…

    Dear Manon W Thank you for your feedback and we were glad you enjoyed your stay. As for finding the hotel you are right the 2 signs are not very big but unfortunately as a listed building we cannot make it any bigger.....I do apologise you wasted some time looking for us. Thank you again and look forward to welcoming you back Erik Gangsted

    Hi I am Dr. Hossam Abdel-Wahab from Egypt, It is my pleasure to stay at your nice property during my stay in Geneva to attend the Dermatology congress EADV 2017. We have booked triple room via our agency in Egypt. We will arrive by 10 am on Tuesday 12th September. She we wait till 12 to arrive to hotel. Akso I sm asking about the level of the room. Thanks in advance 🌹
    Hi from Hotel Central, please make your way to our hotel when you arrive. We will do our best to have your room ready.. as check out is at 11am, we cannot guarantee it will be ready. You can always leave your luggage at the reception while you wander around geneva. Your room should be in the 6th floor. Best regards and see you soon Christine Gangsted Hotel Central

    One more question, I've just changed my booking from Triple room (3 bunk bed) to Twin room with shower and toilet. What kind of the extra bed for 3rd guest?
    Hi again, I can see on Internet that you changed your mind and kept the "triple bunk bed" room for 3 people so all is good now. Pop gan mai kah Christine

    Hi. The question is about transport ticket 1. What is the valid date for free transport ticket if check-in on 4/5/17 and check-out on 6/5/17? 2. Is it cover train from Geneve station to Geneve airport station? Thanks
    Hi from Hotel Central, transport card will be valid on the 4th, 5th and 6th of May and will also cover the train from main station to airport (but bus may be easier ). Best regards Christine Gangsted Hotel Central

    Hi. I have booked Triple Room with Shower and Shared Toilet. I wonder about the bed, are they one bunk bed with 3 beds or one bunk bed with two beds and one single bed? Thank you
    Hi from Hotel Central, the room you have reserved has a triple bunk bed (3 beds on top of each other), the bottom one is vey low, the mid level one is at 1m20 (around) and the top one is at just before 2 meters. Very safe. Best regards Christine Gangsted Hotel Central + 41 22 818 81 00
