Grand Hotel Central




















On a two week European trip, we found this hotel to be one of the best. Staff is very friendly and is English speaking. The bar on the roof is second to none! We loved it, and everything you would want to see in this beautiful city was within walking distance. We came in from Paris on the train and could have walked to the hotel if he had not had so damned much luggage! Five stars all the way!! You cannot go wrong with this selection.
