Central City Hotel Rochat

Central City Hotel Rochat

8/10 Good
"Breakfast exceeded expectations and conveniently added to our bill. Air conditioning worked very well specially with the heat wave in Europe. Room was decent although not modern only maybe we just came off from a luxury cruise and not actually comparable. We got the right location for a hotel walkable to the main downtown for shopping and restaurants!!!!"
