Pros +
- Location of the hotel was perfect! Right next to Baščaršija and the main tourist area of the old city; the location couldn't be better for a tourist visiting Sarajevo. The bed in my hotel room as very comfortable after a long day of traveling.
- Great location! Close to barscarsija and other local attractions, with small town family feel.
- Nice breakfast, Freshly baked rolls, boiled eggs, butter cheese and cold cuts. delicious. and good tea. liked that it was very early and stood there for a long time.Good housekeeping every day. and clean enough.The location is very nice right in the bazaars in the old town. Lovely pastry shop, and the tram right next door.Recommend excursion to Mostar
Cons -
- Sound isolation of my room was lacking. I could hear basically everything from the hallway outside of my room. The sounds of doors opening, people walking and talking normally etc.The property advertises a 24-hour front desk on booking.com. This was one of my criterias for hotel selection, as I had to check-out really early in the morning to catch a flight. When checking in, I was informed that the front desk is open from 7 to 23. This was a small dissapointment, as I would have liked to have the front desk order me a taxi.
- There was quite a horrid smell of local tobacco from the kitchen area behind the reception. And the coffee was bad.
- Breakfast not so good. There were espresso machines but they were "no good."

Location was great! I could walk all of Old Town.
Breakfast not so good. There were espresso machines but they were "no good."
The location of the property is excellent, right at the start of Bascarsija market in the old Town. Hosts were very helpful and polite. The linen was clean.
The rooms are very tired and need upgrading, there are scuffs and marks on the walls and doors, lots of cobwebs, fortunately only daddy longlegs spiders. The room itself was very small, small low double bed, insufficient room to leave a suitcase open. The window coverings don’t block out the night light and it’s a bit noisy.
Location was prime. A great spot to explore the old town of Sarajevo. I loved the kindness of our host family.
The bathroom, the lack of cleanliness in the cabinets. I did not like that the hotel locks the door at midnight and therefore the guests have to be back before midnight.
Excellent location . Everythign it's very close.Bar, supermarket .restaurants . CoffeeBreakfast it's ok .
The bathroom need more cleaning .They need to change pillows.On the windows full spiderweb and some insects on the room.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast had everything I needed to start the day. The room was clean and outfitted with everything I needed. The location was right right across from the old town with a tram stop 30 seconds from the hotel.
I cannot think of anything that I did not like. The hotel charged a fair price for the stay and what it offered.
Super friendly hosts in a familly hotel located directly on Baščaršija, the old town. Next to the tram station and the shop and bakery.
The linen had slight odour of tobacco. The rest of my family didn't smell it. The toilet also had a distinctive smell, but it wasn't that bad.
Great location, great value, friendly staff, good breakfast, good view over the city and Mount Trebević from the room, would definitely stay here again when I’m next in Sarajevo
All OK, no issues
Good breakfast and helpful staff. Crazy parking in the area, but great location.
Location is perfect center of oldtown.
Heaters stopped at night. TV didnt work. Bed and sheets dont give the sense of cleaness.
The location was a big plus. Located in the middle of old town Sarajevo, it was easy to get to the main sights in the city. There are grocery stores, restaurants, and shops in easy walking distance. Busses and taxis are just outside the hotel. The breakfast was simple but good. The staff welcoming and accommodating.
The room was dated but was enough for our needs.
Room: We booked 3 rooms. (2 double, 1 triple), thank you for upgrading the triple room to the family room. so the room is big enough for us. The room has a heater, so it's so good. Even the view is good. Toilet: the toilet is clean and equipped with soap and tissue and a water heater. location: it's really near Sebilj and the old town. Just 2-3 minutes walking, you reach the old town and also the tram. Parking: if you come with a car, better request for the parking, because we drove a big car, we requested, and the hotel, give us in front of the hotel.Breakfast: just find; they prepare bread, cereal, cheese, chicken slices, hot drinks, milk, and juice.
Lovely little family hotel. Breakfast small but adequate.
Stray dogs barking but there is little the property can do about this issue.
Great location and friendly staff. Parking also available.
Room outdated big time. Bad insulation (noise from streets) etc.
Owner help us for everything, especially to solve parking issue. Location 10/10
Can’t complain about any consider the location and price.
Absolutely amazing location. Next to the Baščaršija tram station that can take you to the city centre. You are near all the attractions. The old town is just across the road. The museums, cable car, historical mosques, coffee shops and numerous eateries are within walking distance. My brother loved the close proximity to a local mosque, just a minute walk where he performed congregational prayers daily.
Rooms needs update
The location of the hotel was excellent. Our car was parked directly outside the hotel which was very convenient. The terrace out the front of the hotel was great to enjoy a drink and some people watching.
The room was a little tired, but comfortable and had all the amenities needed. But still offered good value for the location and access to a parking space.
Great location, great staff, nice rooms.
The breakfast was ok but limited to yogurt, boiled eggs, some cheese and salami, milk and cereal, bread and juice. Not a lot of options, but you can eat as much as you like.
