Really nice Hotel
Really nice hotel, clean and tidy. Right in the centre so only a short walk. Abit noisy on the main road and couldn’t get the air con to work so was really warm of an evening but would definitely recommend and I would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
This hotel is dated and it's quite obvious. However, a redeeming quality of the hotel is the beautifully scented sheets. Also the lady at the front desk was very helpful. It's not quite obvious but hotel parking is not included in the stay which brings the cost of a one night stay similar to much much more lux hotels in the area.

Great hotel great location great staff, shame wall paper was unstuck at the joins. Had king size bed but only a duvet to fit a double bed and bottom bed sheet had a hole in it and was like that for the 3 nights there so that didn’t get changed. But overall will be coming back

The Central Hotel is conveniently located near most attractions and public transportation. It’s safe and quiet. We paid for breakfast 15€ per day, it was good the first couple days but it’s the same every day so if you are staying like we did for 10 days it becomes boring and unappealing. We were supposed to get an upgrade and VIP but we didn’t. The “spa” is a jacuzzi and a sauna, and can only fit 2 to 3 people at a time and there is NO steam room. As we had an early flight we requested a breakfast to go. The subway station is close to the hotel and you can take it to and from the airport for under one dollar per person. We rented a car to drive to far away places where we ended up paying for parking more than we paid for the car rental. Parking on the street or a parking garage is a little over one dollar per hour from 8 am till 8 pm and at night it’s free. If you pay for a 24 hour parking which is about 12$ it means you pay till you you drive out of the garage.

Four nice nights in Sofia
I spent a long Easter week-end with my wife in Sofia. The hotel was perfectly located for accessing all the central sites. The furniture in our room was a little dated, but it was a very spacious room, the beds were comfortable and the walk in shower was great. The staff were very helpful with good insights on local restaurants and tourist trips.

Great Location but not great!
The staff were amazing - however the room was awful! The bed was as hard as concrete, the curtains paper thin, so constantly light, noisy and it was impossible to get cold water from the bathroom tap. Also the hotel was a constant building site!

Clean and decent size room. Bo would highly recommend the breakfast buffet…it has lots of variety. Room service and staff are friendly and helpful. While it’s about 10 min walk to many restaurants, the hotel is really more off the center of town. The immediate area are smaller streets. Rooms are spacious and bed was very comfortable. Two headed shower was nice but the hand held one was aimed way to high (I’m 5’7”). All TV channels were in Bulgarian so bring your Netflix account. I didn’t like the room does not have an inside look so anyone with a key can enter. We enjoyed our stay overall.

Great hotel and excellent price. Close to the downtown and Main Street. The guy at Checkin was very friendly giving access to our room well before the regular check in time. However being honest, sometimes the receptionists were not the peak of friendliness…. Breakfast excellent
