Hotel Centrale

The Hotel Centrale is advertised as a four-star hotel. It is not. The location at the very center of Olbia is convenient and the staff is friendly and helpful. Everything else is mediocre, at the best. The hotel has the basic facilities, but it is worn down and, in many ways, outdated. The wifi-code ends with the year 2017 and that is not a coincidence. Nothing has been done since then. Breakfast is very basic. The bread is relatively fresh but of cheap quality. The cheese is tasteless and the ham and salami are a bit tired. The scrambled eggs are okay. Fruits are scarce and not fresh. The coffee is good. The room gets attention from the cleaning crew every day. The beds are made and the towels get changed if you request it, but the general quality of the cleaning is not impressive. The room has a worn down look. I booked a room with a balcony. This costs an extra EUR 20 or more per night, which is a total waste. The balcony is empty and too small to fit even a chair. It is worthless, see the photo. So, to sum it up, the hotel has a good location and the basic facilities, but it is worn down and outdated. It is not a four-star hotel, one or two at the most, and the price for a room is out of proportion. My wife and I stayeds for a full week. I recommend you look for another place in Olbia.

This was our second stay in Hotel Centrale and once again was excellent. Alessio and Alexandre were super friendly and very helpful. They gave us room 301 on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the Corso Umberto all the way down to the port and Tavolara Island. Rooms are extremely clean. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Lots of wonderful restaurants, cafes and shops close by. Thanks for a wonderful stay - we will be back!!

Lovely hotel right in a really central location perfect for visiting a fabulous city. Room was excellent with all facilities and great breakfast.

Great central location on a Main Street. Nice breakfast. Room was very small with just a single bed. Not easy to get in with key. No view. Ok for one night stopover.

The pictures on websites are flattering to say the least. We booked a room with a balcony that was basically a door leading to a shelf! The air conditioning was leaking and caused a puddle in the floor great was extremely dangerous and the shower was basically a drip of tepid water. The noise from the street is horrendous and they don’t warn you that you stay over a restaurant that plays music into the early hours so forget a good night’s sleep- food there is awful by the way and much better available in the area. After seeking help from Giulia and Carmen In reception we weee moved to another room that was basically the last room available in the hotel with no view and smelt mouldy. As this room was considerably cheaper than the one booked I asked for a refund and after being passed to the owner I was “gifted” a refund. The refund has never turned up and I have been lied to several times by the staff at the hotel. Olbia is lovely but stay elsewhere as although I accept things break and accidents happen being lied to is not the way to run a hotel. I have been around the world and never been treated this way. Avoid to have a nice trip.

When stopping in Olbia to visit a good place to stay. Be carefull to coordinate the arrival by taxi as the road in front is not for pedestrians.

We stayed at Hotel Centrale, and indeed, it is located very centrally, in Olbia’s lively main (shopping/restaurant) street. The room we booked was a superior room (all superior rooms face the main street), #301, which was nice, modern, clean, air-conditioned, and offered great views from its two bright windows. However, next to the hotel is a bar located, same owner I believe, and they turn up the volume, outside on the street, right under your lovely balcony, till 01:00am… no fun, no sleep! So, we asked for another room, got the ‘family‘ room, #206, at the back which was bigger but less bright as the previous room. So, just be aware, if you like loud live music, with people cheering, singing and dancing, this could be the place for you, no doubt, but if you prefer more tranquility, there are other options! We had to be at the airport at 04:00am, Taxi Bruno charges €60, for a drive that takes just 3 kms (walking is no option), damn! Furthermore, breakfast was sufficient, the young staff pleasant but unfortunately they forgot the promised breakfast takeaway…
