We have just got back from a great week at this hotel and wanted to offer the benefit of our advise! We had read all the reviews before going and as "Foodies" were concerned about the meal arrangements. We went with Crystal/Thompson and paid the £63 per person supplement in England to upgrade to A La Carte. This meant we... more

We spent a week from 31st May to 7th June at Hotel Centrale. It was our Silver Wedding treat and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Different tour companies do different deals (eg some provide free wine and water at dinner); we travelled with Italian Getaways, and while getting a cheaper deal than some, wish we had been daring... more

We booked our holiday as a Late deal with Thomson and for £170pp half board (including wine and water with dinner, in flight meals and transfers) we were very pleased with what we got for our money. If you were paying the £400+ that we have seen advertised by elsewhere you might well think it didn't offer as great value... more

Spent a week in Hotel Centrale Riva, !7th -24th May 2008 on one of Thomsons "Late Deals".Anyone reading the many and varied mixed reviews will be totally confused as to whether this is a good or bad hotel. The answer lies in the price you paid. We paid well under £200 each and for that we got good basic food,and... more

Just returned from Hotel Centrale. On the plus side the room was excellent and the housekeeping first class. However the half board meals were atrocious. Poor quality ingredients, overcooked, lukewarm and very unappetising. The Roast Chicken one evening was so small it was nothing but bones - I make stock and feed my dogs on better quality chicken. The Escalope... more

Just returned from 10 day stay, was apprehensive after reading previous reviews, found the hotel to be very satisfactory, lovely room with great view over the lake, rooms nice and clean, clean towels each day, food was good, staff very friendly and helpful, would definately stay there again. 4 Ladies from Wirral. more

We had a wonderful time here in April 2008. DO NOT believe the bad reports you read on this hotel. The location is fabulous. Pay the extra for a lake view room, the scenery is just stunning. You won't be disappointed. The hotel is great value for money. Just remember you are not paying for a 5 star hotel, if... more

I read some criticisms of this hotel and was apprehensive about staying there. It really was very good. We paid no extras and had a 3 person room for 2 of us. Excellent view over lake. Looked like brand new bathroom. Food good, with some choice every day. I would recommend this hotel. more

Just returned from a 5 day break at this hotel, which we were concerned about after reading previous reviews on Trip Advisor. I have to say all these comments were totally unfounded. The Hotel was excellent value for money in a superb location directly on the waters edge. The rooms were clean, tidy, well furnished and cleaned daily with fresh... more
