Free Wifi. EVERY hotel should have free wifi but especially in your room if you are paying to stay. This one does which is great. Great value. Great location. Nice bar and restaurant. Was a lovely piano bar with Laurent Perrier Champagne at VERY reasonable prices. Almost supermarket prices at a hotel bar. Really good.

Have stayed at Central before. Excellent location, especially for coming form the airport by train (fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to get downtown) as the hotel is walking distance from the main train station. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Overall mood at the place is laid back and relaxing. We were kindly upgraded to a suite which overlooked the city with views on two sides. Hotels in Zurich can be expensive, and this would have been an excellent value for the double we reserved, but was an even better value with a suite! Highly recommend.

Perfect location close to the main train station, the old town and the main shopping streets. Excellent breakfast with plenty of fresh produce, local cheeses, meats, cereals and a home made berry muesli. The staff were very professional and attentive.
