Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room variety — With only 21 rooms and four categories, availability can be tight, especially during peak travel times. Options are mostly doubles or twins, with one studio.
  • Breakfast and dinner not always highlighted — While some guests praised the breakfast and dinner, these aren't consistently mentioned in reviews, suggesting the dining experience may vary. The property's description doesn't specify restaurant hours or menu.

“Immaculate cleanliness, beautiful facilities, quiet for resting, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff.”

“Very friendly and attentive staff, you can get any information and good tips for Sarajevo. Although the hotel is near the airport, you won't hear anything – very quiet. Cool hotel flair with chandeliers and vintage furniture. Grab a cab to the old town – it's only €6 and saves you the parking search.”

“Very nice and clean hotel between houses run by a very helpful lady. Our room was for 3 adults, nicely furnished and spacious. Hotel is near the airport but we didn't hear any plane taking off or landing. Many shops, cafes, and restaurants within a short walk. We travelled by car so didn't try the bus, but we were told it takes 20–30 minutes to downtown Sarajevo. Hotel is very close to Sarajevo Tunnel.”
