Pros: the hotel was built for the Olympics in 1984 and was a major target of attacks during the Bosnian War in the 1990's. A movie called "Welcome To Sarajevo" staring Marisa Tomei and Woody Harrelson was filmed here to bring the plight of this forgotten war and acts of genocide back into the forefront of our minds. Tomei and... More

This hotel needs some renovation very badly. It was built for the Olympics in 1984 and you can tell all is authentic from that time. I believe they try to keep it well maintained, but the owner has to invest some money now. Our night stands were scratched and the carpet looked not so clean. It has an atrium in... More

Nice hotel with interesting interior design within. Rooms were quite good and clean and the staff was also kind and helpful. Location is also good because it is only 10 min walking distance from the center of Sarajevo. Food was also very good. I utilized room service a couple of time and it was very close to what I expected.

First time in Sarajevo. What a strange feeling at this hotel. Surreal is a descriptive I would apply. Reminds me of other Soviet era hotels built by western chains (Sheraton, Holiday Inn) A central cavity with glass elevators rising to bizarre circular floors. Only there for a single night. Slept super. Clean room. Excellent breakfast. Fantastic lunch buffet. Late checkout... More

On the positive side, this hotel has made a remarkable recovery after being badly damaged during the war in the early 1990s. During my last visit in 1993, many rooms and walls and floors were destroyed, so I admire the resilience of the hotel and its staff. The double rooms have 2 American-style queen-size beds, so a family with kids... More
