    Access to the hotel (on 5th and 6th floor of a building) is a bit odd at first, but fine once you get used to it.

    Bright spacious room with a nice view and even a balcony! Nice staff at reception. Good and convenient location. For Geneva, quite good value.

    The rooms were cramped and hot even though we had a fan. The bathroom was unusual, but plenty of hot water

    The central location was great. Both receptionists were very helpful

    Although perfectly located the drawback was the noise at night from passers by. There’s not much the hotel can do about that and they do provide complimentary ear plugs on arrival.

    The location was perfect and everything was in easy reach. We walked everywhere and made use of the Geneva pass for public transport (we had this emailed to us prior to our stay which was extremely helpful as we used it to get from the airport when we arrived). Staff were helpful & gave us specific directions of where to go for a reasonable breakfast (Croissant or pain au chocolat and a hot drink for €8). The room was adequate and we had opted for a twin which included shower & basin in the room with a shared toilet which was near the room. Another nice touch was complimentary ear plugs (also a forewarning of what was to come haha) and chocolates!

    Great location, walk to most of Geneva's attractions.

    Lack of coffee maker. The room is small by US standards, but we didn't book this hotel to stay in the room. As with a lot of European locations the elevator is a 2 person car.

    Hotel Central Location is what makes this hotel. We are the type of traveler that books hotels for location to do what we want to do not to lounge in our hotel rooms. Hotel Central is withing walking distance of literally most of Geneva’s main attractions. And those that aren’t within walking distance you can reach with the free public transportation card provided by the hotel and the main bus/train line is right out your door. The room is equipted with most everything you need: private bath, balcony, TV. One glaring omission is a coffee maker. It’s the only room we’ve ever been to where the entry way is through the bathroom. The room is small by US standards but fits right in with the Europe. A nice touch were the ear plugs provided but the city noise was not a problem for us. The hotel is a 15 min walk from Geneva’s main train station. The reception is on the 6th floor and the entry door is locked as the building is shared with other businesses. There’s a key pad to the left, use the buttons to scroll to Hotel Central and press the intercom and they will let you in. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. Check in is in the afternoon but our flight arrived in the morning. They were able to accommodate us and let us check in early which was a huge help. We would stay there again and recommend Hotel Central.

    The shower is inside the room, separated only by a small curtain. The shared toilet is outside (that's ok) but it doesn't have a sink... you have to walk back to your room to wash your hands.

    The location is really central and the bed was comfortable. We were provided earplugs and there were two small balconies to read and enjoy fresh air.

    Central location meant noise into late evening but ear plugs given. No hot water on last morning but staff apologetic. Hallways narrow.

    Size of room and location. Helpful, friendly staff. Secure shutters on balcony windows so could keep windows open for air.

    We found the room arrangement weird since entrance is to the bathroom and then a door leads to the bedroom. The bathroom wasn’t great, but this was the most affordable option therefore we expected it.

    Location was excellent next to main attractions, shops, bars and restaurants. Receptionists were friendly and helpful when needed. Check in and out was easy and we could store our luggage on the day we were leaving until our bus left.

    Room was small, the entrance was through the bathroom it was strange. Very small shower.

    The receptionist was very friendly, gave us a lot of useful information. When you book a room, days before the arrival they give a geneva transport card for free and you can use it to travel from the airport to the hotel and use it to get around in the city. The bed was comfortable and if the noise from the street or the other guests it's to much, they provide earplugs.

    The layout is a bit weird. You open the door and you are welcomed by the toilet. It doesn't have exhaust so the humidity and smell stays. If you happen to have a room without windows or balcony, that may be a problem. Pillows need upgrading because when you sleep on them, they just lay super flat and there is basically no neck support.

    Our room had a tiny balcony which helped because there were moments that it was so hot in the room and opening the balcony freshened it up. They offer 2 tiny welcome chocolates and 2 sets of earplugs, appreciate that. The bed was comfy and the beddings were clean and cozy. The staff members were really helpful and awesome. And of course, the location is unbeatable! Right there at the center with a minute access to where you can eat, go shopping, take the trams etc. The public library is also just beside it. LOVE!
