Do you have a shuttle service to the centre?
'Navetta' — stress the second syllable: 'na-VET-ta'. It comes from 'nave' (ship) — the diminutive for a small transport vehicle.
Use when the hotel is outside the city centre and offers a regular free or paid shuttle. Common in resort hotels and those near airports.
'Servizio navetta' = shuttle service. 'Navetta' refers to a small bus or van running a fixed route. It is distinct from a taxi ('taxi') or private transfer ('transfer'). 'Per il centro' = 'to the centre'.
