Ein sehr schönes und perfekt gelegenes Hotel!
Pros:

Ein sehr schön und ruhig gelegenes Hotel mit einem sehr professionellem und sehr hilfsbereitem Empfangspersonal. Sehr angenehm ist auch der Service der freien Kaffee-Versorgung.

Cons:

Im Gebäude selbst ist der Trittschall recht hoch und Zimmer sind zum Teil auch hellhörig zu den Nachbarn.

Großzügige Zimmer in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt im Central City Hotel Rochat. Die Zimmer sind groß, geräumig sowie sauber und ordentlich. Die Einrichtung ist allerdings etwas in die Jahre gekommen und nicht mehr ganz modern.

Das Personal bekommt man nicht oft zu Gesicht, war bei Kontakt aber freundlich und unkompliziert.

Die Lage des Hotels ist gut und sehr zentral, sodass man vieles bequem erreichen kann. Auch das Frühstück hat uns gut gefallen.

Insgesamt ein solides Hotel für einen Aufenthalt in guter Lage.
