Very central but needs spa upkeep

This hotel is bang in the middle of town right next to the bars, amazing location but not for a light sleeper. The beds and basins are all very tall, not for shorter people. The spa had most jets out of order and bo covers on the drains in pool which is dangerous. Also very strange layout. Was a nice stay but probably wouldn't return to this hotel.

Room was quite hot despite the aircon which seemed to only have one temp. Laundry facility unavailable due to a broken machine. Front desk quite friendly. Breakfast ok depending on what time you went as items were not replenished if it was later in the morning.

There is no accountability for taste.

Our room was described as a balcony suite. There are no balconies in this hotel. The design was peculiar, to say the least. Staff was pretty unfriendly and the included breakfast has to be one of the saddest in the region. Location is good, though. There are better options around.

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.

L'hotel sta proprio al centro di tutto, musei, chiese, moschee, ristoranti e negozi, ed è quindi ideale per una vacanza a Sarajevo. La colazione è buona e variegata con cibo locale. Organizzano anche il transfer da e per l'aeroporto.

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.

As I rated it was a terrible stay overall. It needs upgrading of everything from furniture to pillows etc. It was not as luxurious as the hotel described it. A dusty to a warm room had to open the window overnight. Sleep was no better as it was next to all the pubs in the street. Please it needs an immediate refurbishment. Cheaper hotels nearby with 5-star ambience are better for the value of the money.
