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.

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

doesn't feel like 4 stars
overall it was OK however there were some minor things which normally shouldn't happen in a good hotel - for example our room for 2 people had only one set of cosmetics, the towels weren't replaced and there was no sign to put on the door which I'm sure every hotel has? the one that says to not disturb or to clean the room, so I found it quite weird. The breakfast choice was better on Monday than the day before, overall the breakfast was OK but again 4* hotels have much bigger choice of food.

Good but it might be their off season?
Staff were really helpful and nice and the room itself was fine. Nothing great had a big TV and a walk in shower which is always nice. The jacuzzi and sauna was only open from 6pm to 9pm so we didn't use it which was a little disappointing considering it was a main reason we booked it. Location is pretty good maybe a ten minute walk to the main shopping street. The bar is more like a drinks cabinet which I never seen open. There is a restaurant but we never ate there which looked relatively large. Mini bar in the room which I would have preferred just be a fridge to store milk for tea.
