“Hotel Central's location near Geneva's Old Town and public transport is certainly a plus, making it easy to get around, even over the French border for cheaper groceries. While some rooms, especially the bunk rooms, might be a gamble in terms of comfort and amenities, others seem to offer a more classic experience. Overall, consider your room choice carefully to make the most of this budget-friendly option.”
