Centrally located and super-close to town, The Central Private Hotel is a fantastic option for a short stay in Q-town. The staff were absolutely great and the little touches that the place offers - like complimentary Happy Hour and the first-in-best-dressed private sauna make this place a winner. Only gripes would be that the rooms are a little dark and want for more (or any) storage or drawers. Other than that, it's a tough beat in a very competitive market!

This is a pretty hotel and the staff was very nice. You are about 2 blocks uphill from the town center. The room was clean when I checked in. I gave them 4 stars for cleaning because they only partly cleaned in between night 1 and 2. I recommend you do not rent a car unless you know you are driving somewhere out of town. You will not use your car to go to town and most excursions either leave from downtown or pick you up at your hotel. You can park at the hotel for a fee but it is a tight lot and I had to have someone help guide me out so I didn’t scratch the car on the wall.

Staff extremely polite and welcoming. There is a guest lounge which is very convenient if you arrive before you room is ready (mine was ready by 12 - I was very impressed). Rooms large and well equipped. About 5 mins walk from town. Would stay again.
