This is a smart, clean and central hotel. I have stayed there several times and have enjoyed each stay. The staff are friendly, helpful and coped well with my colleague's humour.

I am surprised by some of the criticisms on this site. I am not overly-slim but still managed to cope with the Bosnian sized shower. I have had better breakfasts but not in Bosnia. I would recommend the narrow-minded to watch Al Jazeera on the hotel satellite TV - it is an international news channel and it may well broaden narrow minds.

Stayed with wife for a 3 nights in the end of September 2008 on the 1. floor toward parking. Almost new, very nice, clean and quite hotel in a center of Sarajevo with very friendly staff. Room little bit small and limitied breakfast. Everything is a just enough.
Have been other places and think a little bit expensive for a value but so long that is same price for the most of the others as well.
At the end, had nice staying, not regreting and will probably choose the same one again.

I was a bit skeptical about this place, since I couldn't find any online reviews about it (it's brand new from what I can tell), but the website looked pretty good and I was recommended to stay here by the people who had invited me to Sarajevo in the first place.

My first impressions were that it was quite small. The rooms especially are very compact, although decorated very tastefully (minimalist certainly applies).

If you're even slightly overweight or even over-sized, you can forget being able to use the showers at all, since they are clearly designed for skinny people. I can barely manage and I am pretty skinny by anyone's definition of the word.

The breakfast is simple although adequate. I had to go to the supermarket on the corner to pick up low-fat yoghurt and milk, but the coffee and other pickings are not bad. I don't think you'd get an omelet if you asked for it though.

The management of the hotel (that is to say the guys behind the reception desk), are friendly enough, although they seem to be a but amateurish when it comes to such things as getting more than one laundry form delivered to your room at once (which means you have to ask each time).

Laundry seems a bit slow, i.e. you can forget same-day service, but they do promise 24-hour service for both laundry and dry-cleaning.

The rooms are well air-conditioned, although the air-con only seems to have one speed (full blast), so you have to choose whether you want to freeze or simmer, and there's not much in between.

One real advantage to this hotel is the free high-speed internet in the rooms and the free wireless up on the fourth-floor lounge area.

CNN seems to be the only international news channel available so, as usual you get the same three stories over and over again throughout any one news cycle. But the hotel also shows Al Jazeera, so you can tune in to that to see footage of western hostages being decapitated.

The hotel's location seems to be quite good, considering one is in walking distance of most government offices and the main pedestrian retail thoroughfare.

The hotel doesn't have any gym or pool or other such amenities, but is within ten-minutes walking distance of a pretty OK gym called FIS, which allows you to use it on a casual (walk-in) basis for the equivalent of about EUR 2.5. each time (not bad when you consider Fitness First will charge about USD 30 to 35 for the same privilege).

All in all, not a bad place, but at EUR 80 per night, which right now is worth almost USD 130, for which price I can get a really nice room at the Grand Hyatt in Jakarta (now that's a nice hotel), the value for money is questionable.

In short I would say this place is fine for a brief (3-day max) stay for someone here on government business. Otherwise, the Holiday Inn might be a better bet.
