Studio room was large and comfortable

Was in Geneva for only 2 nights and have stayed at Hotel Central before. It's on the lake side of the old town and it's only a 15-30 min walk from the main train station Gare Geneve/Cornavin. Arriving at Geneva airport I can grab a free transport ticket lasting 80 minutes before departing the baggage claim area, jump on a train to Geneve (Cornavin) station and walk to the hotel and check-in. Hotels give you a free transport card as well for your stay. I love the atmosphere of being near the old town. Hotel Central is clean basic accommodation and is one of the most economic hotels in the city. There are lots of public transport options clise by. It's by no means upscale but works for me.There was a faint stale cigarette odour in the room. Bed comfortable. Breakfast was provided and a gluten free option was available but double check that they've provided the gluten free items because one day they forgot. They warm the gf bread but because it's been frozen, some pieces are soggy and best avoided. Staff very nice.

Good location good price

Hotel experience would've been better if there wasn't blood on the bathroom wall and living room chair when we arrived. Also smelt heavily like cigarettes in the room. Balconies all connected didn't give us much comfort that the to was secure.
