“Pleasant stay in Hotel Art”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in Hotel Art this past weekend while spending some time skiing in Jahorina. The staff here were very pleasant and helpful, they assisted in booking taxis, giving advice and directions. The hotel itself is as central as you get in Sarajevo, located right beside Bascarsija the main pedestrian street right in the heart of the old town. I didn't get as good a deal as possible on the room because I booked through their own website booking tool at the last minute. Friends who were also staying in the Hotel got a much better deal when booking in advance through e-bookers (or some of those sites - not sure exactly which). The rooms are fantastic, although not as modern as some it was spacious, clean and well maintained. It also had excellent wifi access in every room. My only criticism is that while the room and beds are big I didn't get as good a sleep as I expected - though this may have just been me. The one thing that is worth pointing out is that the breakfast at Hotel Art is quite good. I have been at other hotels in Sarajevo and the Balkans where the concept of breakfast is cold meats and coffee. While both of these are supplied at Hotel Art there is also the option of quite a few other things such as juices, toast (a rarity in BiH), fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, hard boiled eggs etc. So we were very pleased to get a proper breakfast before a day on the slopes. Overall a great hotel for a break in Sarajevo.

“Great location, ok hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

The best thing about the hotel is the location - right in Bascarsija and close to everything - and the staff, which is very friendly and helpful.

The room was basic but perfectly clean and nice - with nice touches like traditional carpets.

However the walls were very thin - you could hear everything going on in the hallway and a neighbour sneezing. I haven't seen any other reviews here complaining about this though, so maybe it is only a problem in some rooms...? (this was on the top floor).

The wifi wasn't working but there was a computer with internet access in the room. Breakfast was ok but nothing special.

“Excellent Choice in the heart of Sarajevo!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

We stayed at this hotel for a coulpe of nights. The hotels has an perfect location in the middle of Sarajevo. The staff is friendly with good english skills.
After reading one bad of the reviews (regarding bugs and unfriendly management?!), I would strongly disagree. The rooms were very clean, and after meeting the hotel manager on one occasion, my impression was very positive. Both the manager and the staff were highly service-minded.
The hotel has its own tourist office, if one wishes more information about the city and its attractions. The food at the hotel's resturant "Maroko" was excellent as well.
I would definitly recomend this hotel to others and would stay here again when visiting Sarajevo.

“Excellent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

I spent 4 days in this hotel, but in 3 rounds and was very much satisfied. The location is perfect, two steps from the Old Town Baščaršija and some more steps from other sightseeings. There is a parking lot in front of the hotel. The staff is extremely nice, polite and helpful. They allowed me a very early check-in once, as early as around 6 a.m. My single room was always with a king size bed. The room is very nice and cosy, of decent size, nicely coloured. You have slippers in the room, but not a bathrobe. Many international TV-channels are offered. Wireless Internet connecton is faultless in rooms. The bed and pillows are very comfy. I disliked the shower, which cannot be taken-off the wall, and the soap dose, as the soap goes out so slowly and with difficulties.
The cleaning ladies could be much better - in the morning they do not do anything but the bed, don't even wipe the wash-basin, nothing. One day, when I checked-in and entered the room for the first time, I found a dirty cleaning cloth forgoten in the room at a visible place; that was very bad.
The breakfast was OK. On some mornings, not a variety of fruit, but always acceptable. The bread rolls were yummie.
There is an excelent restaurant in the hotel called Morocco, don't miss it!
I have already recommended this hotel to my friends. I had a very enjoyable stay there and I will keep recommendig it.

“Perfect location, not quite as nice as we expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

The location was perfect - so convenient to the old town and a lot of the sites. We were a little freaked out by the previous review asserted the presence of bedbugs but the photos online seemed so nice and the price was right so we booked anyway. No bedbugs, but the decor could use a bit of an update -- definitely looked nicer on the website than in person. But we were bedbug free :)
