Terrible cold in the room. Heating was noisy and poor working. Not working restaurant. Not possible to close doors in the shower. Noise from the street. Hotel was closed after I spent one night here and guests was removed to the better version called "Central forum hotel". (one more star for working heating). More

Hotel Central, Hristo Botev Blvd. After a pleasant 10 days in the Marina Palace in Nessebur on the coast of Bulgaria, in a nice 4 star hotel (which I had chosen myself) we flew to Sofia. On arrival the reception area looked nice. The staff were typically dour Bulgarians, which I couldn't care less about. The contrast with this hotel... More

The hotel was clean and bright nice dinning room and bar area. The staff were more that helpful. Heating was ok essential as I was there in March. Breakfast adequate. Best is the location just a short walk to the centre. Great club opposite but no noise from it. More

This hotel should be avoided at all costs. A room advertised as a deluxe double room is a cramped hot cubical barely larger than the bed with insufficient room to fit a chair between the bed and the desk, rendering the desk unusable.

This was my first trip behind the old Iron Curtain, so I had no idea what to expect. In the event, with one minor exception, the Hotel Central turned out to be a real find. Location-wise, the name says it all. You're two minutes' walk from Sveta Nedelya church, and about 20 or so from the train and bus station.... More

We booked this hotel as a base for a citybreak on the strength of it having four stars and spa/sauna etc facilities. On our arrival we found it was actually only a THREE star hotel. We were directed to a twin room that had been cunningly installed in a broom cupboard, we had booked a double and upon discussion with... More
