Arrived to Sarajevo on Dec 28th and found out that the accommodation we thought we had, we actually didn't! Through a good friend from Sarajevo, we managed to get a room at the Hayat and from that moment on ... nothing was too much trouble for Elma, Elvira and Malik, who we met as great reception staff and upon leaving,...

Positive: Very good for staying as a single, esp. in term of price compared to other hotels / guesthouses in town. Double is twice the price for the same room (like many other hotels in Bosnia) - which I never understand. Rooms are clean, with very good heating, hot water, which is essential for stays during winter. Negative: The room... More

I will always recommend this place to others because of its great position above city downtown core Bascarsija and its low price but nice service and friendly staff. If you travel by car, do not worry about your 4 wheel pet. If you are too spoiled asking high luxury, forget about this hotel, however, if you like to be treated... More

You will see on the nameplate Hayat Hotel with 4 stars. But it is definitely not! Also you will see the sticker of the trip advisor saying that "hotel reviewed at trip advisor". This sign should not give you any confidence because to be reviewed does not mean every time that's a nice hotel. We stayed one night at 101.... More

The position of the hotel is very good, and that's all. When I made my reservation I've mentioned that I would like separate beds for me and my friend - they gave us room with double bed. We insisted on separate beds and got some kind of strange tiny apartement, or hostel room, or I-don't-know-how-to-call-it room with two entrances -... More

I have stayed at this hotel on business and I chose it mainly because of it's location (I didn't know much about it before I came). It was my first time in Sarajevo and the staff was very friendly and helping me get around with maps and advices. The position of the hotel is great since it is 5min walk... More

I chose to stay in this hotel because of its excellent location and reasonable prices. And I did not made a mistake. Location - great, prices for the value - great! The rooms are pretty much basic and averagely equipped but bright and clean which is important for me. Although my reservation was for a single room, I got a... More

I booked two rooms at Hayat this August and the experience was horrible, both for me and my companions. The room was relatively spacious, but the bed was extremely uncomfortable, it had dirty walls (water stains, anyone?), broken lamps, a broken door lock, and of course - no AC. The place is incredibly loud. I was up all night listening... More

Because my favorite hotel in Sarajevo - the Hecco - had no room available, I stayed in Hayat for the first time. I would stay there again, but now know what not to expect. First of all, I didn't have the impression the staff was actually happy to welcome guests. There were hairs - not mine - on the pillow... More
