Hotel Reviews Grand Hotel Central

CK
Young couple
Austria, Aug 2009

As probably the majority of other travellers we chose the hotel because of its excellent location and because of the rooftop swimmingpool. Well, being really close to the great beach you don´t need a tiny swimming pool that is offering no shade at all and you will probably get better deals in hotels close by that don´t have a pool. If the breakfast would be included in that rate (that doens´t come cheap) Hotel Central would be a better deal. And don´t forget to buy new earplugs in a pharmacy if you don´t sleep like a bear...the windows are not at all soundproof.

A nice place to stay, good welcoming but pictures are sligthly different from reality: - the roof swimming pool is actualy very tight - rooms are dark - and some other small details that matter such as bathroom towells that smells bad... However, the hotel is perfectly situated in the city and we had a great week end!

There is public work directly nearby the hotel, so from 7AM, we had noise... The price quoted (including breqakfast and parking price) do not correspond to real price paid: the parking price, the breakfast were different.

Excellent location. We did not utilze most of the facilities as we arrived late in the evening and departed the following day. The staff was very accommodating and I would definitely visit this hotel again.

The door in bathroom is pellucid. If it's OK for you - this is a great hotel. Good location, helpful stuff, big room, perfect breakfast etc

I was there for 3 weeks. After the staff warmed up to me, it was a fantastic stay. I would stay there again.

What was advertised as a suite in reality was not a suite. Room layout was illogical with the bathroom in the middle and much of the space wasted as hallways. Sliding bathroom door was physically challenging to close.

Fantastic location, great hotel, very modern. Only negative is rooms are very dark with hardly any natural daylight.
