Nice view from the restaurant upstairs. They also serve alcohol and shisha. Huge food portions. Room was basic. It got very loud during the night. Otherwise overall decent stay.

Empty promises Hotel
The Hotel is conveniently situated. The service was terrible, as we had a leak in the bathroom and despite multiple calls they never showed up to fix it, changed the room or even gave us a mop.

Great Location!
We had a wonderful stay at Central Inn. The staff are friendly and efficient. Location is great - within walking distance to many sites, restaurants and shops. The internet was inconsistent but was on more than off. We would stay here again.

This is a lovely hotel. The staff was very helpful. We ate in the restaurant in the hotel and the food was good. We were there for a few hours during a 10hr layover just long enough to eat,shower and catch a few hours sleep. I would stay there again.

This hotel has a good position close to the souk and the underground. But it’s not possible to close properly the windows so during the night it’s noisy. I was there with friends and also their windows were badly closed. Staff is nice.

Beautiful room, ideal location
All the hotel staff were really friendly and very welcoming. They were polite and helpful.
The room was good and spacious, only thing negative was that the windows had gaps at the top so there was a lot of draught and road noise, also quite dirty but once mentioned they cleaned it up quickly
The room had 2 toilets and the small toilet had a drainage smell so hardly used it. Did mention to hotel staff.
The bed was very comfortable and the staff really looked after us when we requested certain things. They also ordered us a taxi to go airport early morning. The hotel is ideally located near the metro station and there’s restaurants nearby along with mosques. I will definitely come back to this hotel again. Thank you central inn for looking after us
