SebastienStaff, confort et lieu au top
Deux nuits dans un ensemble d'une élégante et magnifique architecture, accompagnées par un staff serviable et sympa. Et ensuite, la propreté des sanitaires, le confort du lit font des lieux l'incontournable à la hauteur…
LarochelleVery helpful, friendly, and beautiful staff who pampered me while I was recuperating from a pulled knee ligament. Young Deborah and Pierre especially could come home with me to befriend my two offspring of the same…

Ça a changé ma vision des auberges de jeunesse
Nous avons adoré y séjourner en famille un petit appartement très bien pensé.
HeleneFoi o Hostel mais bonito e confortável que já fiquei na vida! Só à noite que estava quente e tivemos que dormir com as janelas abertas e aí tinha muita zoada no terraço. No mais, foi maravilhoso!

Questions about CENTRAL
Does CENTRAL allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at CENTRAL?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at CENTRAL?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does CENTRAL have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at CENTRAL?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Can I check in late at CENTRAL?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book CENTRAL?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
