The Europe was fully booked when we unexpectedly decided to take an excurtion from the Dalmation Coast for 3 days - the Europe recommended the Astra. No wonder - it has the same owners. The reception is very small and I thought it quite down market for what we had expected. However we were very pleasantly surprised - it is... More

Currently in my Astra room, a portable airconditioner is making a lot of noise. I have to switch it off when I go to bed. Due to its central location (a benefit) there is street noise until late at night (bars), and the sound isolation is less than ideal. There is an old-fashioned TV, no flatscreen, no digital TV. De...

The location of the Astra cannot be beat - so close to all the of the major attractions in the old town center of Sarajevo. I was booked into a private double at the City Center Hostel down the street, and just by chance walked in to check rates here. For just $11 more each, my friend and I got... More

Previous reviews were expecting the four seasons.....listen....this is a well-run hotel, in a fantastic location....there reaslly isn;t a better location...Holiday Inn is FAR AWAY.......Radon Plaza is FARTHER AWAY and also next to a bombed out retirement home....all other old town options are Hostels......this hotel is right next to the Hotel Europe....which is double....In June 2009, the rate was about 120KM,...

Having been dissafisfied with all my previous Sarajevo hotels I was very pleased with the Astra. My room was large and clean, the wireless internet worked very well and the location is absolutely perfect; 5 minutes walk to my office and right in the heart of town. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is typically Balkan and the TV... More

I travel to Sarajevo once a month for work and am very familiar with the hotel options. This hotel was probably really cool when it first opened (years ago) but is now well past its prime. Like most hotels in Sarajevo it has not been maintained, and the rooms are not properly and thoroughly cleaned in between guests. A lot... More

After reading good reviews on this hotel, I decided to book it for a business trip to Sarajevo. It is very basic - my room had ugly florescent lights, very small windows and no view, a stand-alone air conditioner, few TV stations (mostly German), intermittant internet access and it was obvious that it had been used as a smoking room....

my husband and i stayed at this hotel... the only minor complaint that we have is that the bed was a bit sqeaky and since it was the time of the sarajevo film festival we had to find parking on our own which we did about 10 min walking distance from the hotel... everything else was excellent... i agree with...

Located in the very centre of the old town and just a few minutes walk from the central mosque, this hotel is perfect for budget travelers. I paid around 90 marks per night but enjoyed a lovely room with a view over the old town, a great breakfast and friendly service. Plus it's the first hotel I've been to which... More
