Thanks to the receptionist, we had a wonderful time. She went way out of her way to make us comfortable. She suggested a restaurant which was exactly what we were looking for. Room was expectedly small, but exactly what we expected. Thank you for making our stay in Geneva memerable.

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Central. The staff were so helpful, friendly and kind. Communication was excellent in advance of my stay, they contacted me to check on my arrival time (and to share the Geneva free travel pass). When I arrived, I was welcomed by staff who spoke excellent English and had prioritised my room cleaning to make sure I was able to check in when I arrived (earlier than standard check in). The room was very clean and I appreciated the provision of a fan (it was exceptionally hot the night I stayed). It was noisy in the street, but that is expected based on the excellent central location. I appreciated the small balcony and that you could open the windows. The location is great- so convenient for everything you want in Geneva, and easy to navigate the city with the free transportation card. An excellent stay!
