Great location, amazing gym, pool and spa. Complimentary breakfast was good with many options. The only complaint is the hair dryer was not working and they didn’t have any solution until the next day when we were leaving.

Good location and breakfast
Hotel is in a great location and offers a good breakfast. Front desk staff are not very friendly - we were a group of eight and multiple people noticed this.
Hotel is in need of maintenance - terrible smell from bathroom drains noticed intermittently in 3 of the 4 rooms we had booked. Fan/AC does not work so very hot in the rooms.
Noisy outside but windows do offer soundproofing.

A very pleasant hotel in the old town. Comfortable rooms, but very limited view from the window is the only downside. Fantastic pool in this hotel.

Great hotel, perfect location
We had a fabulous time in Sarajevo and really enjoyed staying at Hotel Central. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had airport transfers both ways and they were excellent - prompt, safe and comfortable.
We loved the swimming pool and gym and thought this was a great benefit. Two small gripes are that the room was often very hot which we didn’t find comfortable. And our housekeeping wasn’t very through - we had fresh towels and the bed made but we didn’t get any replacement tea, coffee or cups during our 3 night stay. We didn’t raise this as it wasn’t a huge deal for us but explains why I didn’t give 5/5.
We would stay here again and really enjoyed our visit.

Staff is perfect.
Room furniture is old and not maintained well,
tea cups in the room were not clean first day and paper tissue in the toilet was finished. parking is not available.
In general it is ok. But not the level of 4 stars as I was expecting.

Hotel Central, as it’s name implies, is in a perfect location, right near Old Town. The rooms are sound proof, so no worries about sleeping.
