Hotel Centrál — Hotel in Nagykanizsai járás

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights at the end of July 2015 for my son's wedding, which was held in St Jozsefs Church in Nagykanizsa. The staff were helpful from start to finish, beginning with advising us that the wedding information had been placed in our room. The receptionists all speak some English and were happy to oblige with directions, information, etc.||The room was clean and neat, and, whilst a little old-fashioned, it fitted the ambience of the place exactly. A maid cleaned daily.||The hotel is right in the centre of town, and parking is not available - we were advised to park outside the front by the ice cream seller opposite the park - where it is free from 4pm until 8am. However, we found a road next to the Irish Bar just down from the park, where you can park all day, every day, for free. It was a 5 min walk to the hotel, but worth it not to have to get up before 8am to move the car or pay to park longer.||Breakfast was good and ample; all very fresh and a good selection.||The station is some distance away south of the town; I recommend using a car to get there if you can, as the shopping is also best out of town (there is a massive Tesco store on the road toward Budapest, along with other big stores).||I recommend this hotel - and would stay there again (and probably will, as I now have a daugher-in-law whose parents...

There are echoes of past grandeur in what was probably a beautiful hotel. Back in 1914 and no doubt the 1920's it was undoubtedly the place to be. The stained glass windows on the stairs, doors leading to the rooms which were built for 10 foot giants build up a sense of anticipation. But the room we stayed in was disappointing. No air-conditioning in a Hungarian city summer world be unbearable. The windows, which you will need to open during the night overlook a busy road in terms of noisy motorised and pedestrian traffic. There is no dedicated shower or even a shower curtain to prevent water spilling all over the floor. And the shower head is poorly fixed so the water can't easily be directed and too low so I had to crouch down beneath it. And no I'm not a 10 foot giant.

The breakfast was ok but the coffee was cold. The water and coffee heaters were unplugged so not surprising.

The staff were very helpful but they're aren't many. I'm guessing that they employ more during the peak seasons. It looked like the manager was looking after the breakfast buffet and talking to a contractor a floor above at the same time. He might also prepare the buffet as well. I wouldn't be surprised.

We wanted to spend the night on our way to Italy. We checked in around 11PM, the reception is 24/7. Few things there are to know: there is no A/C, so when we arrived, there were like 30 degrees in the room. We were lucky that outside was cold and we could open the windows if you want to buy water from the bar, you must pay cash if you pay the room cash, it is cheeper the hotel ia very old, the elevator is out of service for years, don’t buy the “it’s not working from yesterday” the rooms are clean there is a strange smell in the rooms, but nothing that serious that you cannot sleep it is waaaay too expensive for what you get the breakfest is dissapointing from 7-9AM( scrambled eggs, yoggurt, bread, tomatos and ham)

In conclusion, for one night if the prices were half what they request, i would maybe suggest sincer there are no good options around for one night. But for 70 euros cash (82 with card) its way too much. I would not recommand. Maybe in 1913 when it was opened it was something great, but now it needs a...
