We had a few days in this hotel. We found the staff friendly and helpful and the food was very good...I particularly liked the Forum Salad and the breakfasts. Although the hotel is not in the centre, we found that we could get around very easily.

I was swithering whether to give this experience a 2 or a 3 out of 5 but I decided on 2 for the following reasons. The hotel, is not, as the name suggests, particularly central. It's a good half hour walk / 10-15 minute tram ride to the main attractions of the city. The tram stop is right outside the... More

Nice spacious rooms. Good restaurant. Breakfast ok, but not 4-star level. Staff very helpul. Some small remarks: sometimes it was difficult to set hot/cold water. The toilets on the ground floor were not so clean and had no soap. The room was a bit noisy at night (probably because of my neighbours). In general, consider it a good 3 stars,... More

This was one of two hotels I stayed in when I went to Sofia last year. The first I stayed in for a few nights and was lovely (Les Fleurs) and then I travelled to another part of Bulgaria and was meant to stay at Central Forum for one night. It ended up being two nights due to a change... More

Last June I've been staying for a few days in Central Hotel Forum Sofia and I would really like to recommend it! I've been already several times in Sofia on the occasion of buisness gathering and conferences and I was always quite disappointed from the hospitality but last time was great. I found Central Hotel Forum on the net (Easy... More

We had a large, clean room with well-stocked mini-bar, coffee making facilities, balcony and a huge bed. Staff were helpful and spoke English. Breakfast was lavish and good. AND we paid 60 Euros a night. Brilliant! Highly recommended.

The hiotel looks pretty OK. Not too old and in good conditions. It is notb elegant but not bad taste either. Rooms are however very small and with single bed. Also, it is not really in the town centre. I don't have particular compliants but would not say that it was an impressive hotel in any regard. All in all,... More

Arrived by taxi and though "[--] what a hole" Then walked into reception and thought, "mmmm, this looks OK" Went to room and was very pleasantly surprised. I was in room 220 and it had the best pillows of any hotel I’ve stayed at. Bed was also very comfortable. Breakfast was good, rooms very clean, not much traffic noise so... More

Firstable the price is very high for a 4 star ( bulgaria standard ) . The ibis hotel in france ( 2 star and 50 euros ) are more comfortable. 80 euros for foreigner, 40 euros for bulgarian. the breakfast buffet is very poor. To avoid . Better go to the rondina or one of the very good 5 stars... More
