Stari Grad Hostels

Presidential is an understatement for this superior, modern hotel in the heart of Sarajevo’s attractions, restaurants and pedestrian streets. Our Overseas Adventure Travel tour group was assigned to this hotel. The tour company could not have made a better selection. The room I occupied overlooked the river and the base of a mountain range. The room is beyond spectacular, especially considering less expensive rooms are generally assigned to tour groups. The bathroom features an entire glass wall with curtains to close for privacy. But why? Many of the rooms overlook a busy street and the river. Besides, who’d want to look at a 71-year-old geezer shaving?☺ Windows are insulated blocking cold and street noise. The room is spacious, clean, modern, and has all creature comforts. But beware of the minibar prices. There are small grocers nearby that sell wine for about 6 euros. Buffet breakfast was included for tour group members, so I don’t know if there’s a separate charge for other guests. The hotel staff are amazing and courteous. If only Orlando area hotels could learn from Hotel President Sarajevo.

A great little hotel. Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. A major big point is the fact the breakfast were incredible. So much choice, and for me I ate so much I didn't need any lunch. Breakfast was simply amazing. The hotel is situated on a hill so with lugguge I recommend a taxi if traveling from the tram stop. However overall amazing stay

Nos alojamos por su relación calidad-precio y la verdad es que nos gustó; lo mejor es que es barato y bastante bien ubicado. Es básico pero correcto y por el precio, más que suficiente….. limpio y cómodo. El personal, agradable. Se indica que tiene parking, aunque es la calle…. Que de hecho, está entre callejones que cuesta un pelín encontrar siguiendo las indicaciones de google maps. La mayor pega es que se oía todo y, por ejemplo, a las 5:30 de la mañana nos despertó un hombre que se había puesto a rezar de lo alto que se oía… para nosotras no fue mayor problema porque pudimos seguir durmiendo pero es importante tenerlo en cuenta.

The exterior of the hotel is famous. It is like a hotel. We lived in a new building this summer. It was very clean. It was about ten minutes in the downtown area, in a place halfway up the mountain. The breakfast at this store is also very appetizing. The boss is very enthusiastic. The only thing is that we asked the boss to help us call a taxi to the airport before we left. He kindly promised us, and then we asked him how much she said 20 euros. Then we checked the distance of 8 kilometers and I was a bit skeptical. This distance did not match the price. Then I sent a message to him to help us call a car we checked for a regular taxi. She did not reply to us. After eating breakfast in the morning, another staff member said that the car came. We saw a Cayenne, not a taxi. Then we knew that the original 20 Euro was like this. This is the only place we feel wrong. But we went up because we were going to the airport. That's it. If you ask them to call the car, you must ask very clearly. I hope everyone can get help.

The location of the hotel is the biggest selling point, just in the small street directly opposite the Latin Bridge, it is convenient to walk to the attractions of the old city. The hotel does not allow traffic in front of the hotel, so the address given by the hotel on Ctrip is the nearest address where the taxi can stop. In fact, the taxi is taken to the old town inside the block, and there is a yellow sign at the street. In exchange for money, the hotel is next to a pub and north, and the old town hotel is seen from the height of the four-story façade. The big bed room is two single beds together, the quilt is two sheets of people, talking with the front desk lady sister tip, said to clean the room to 1-2 mark, breakfast is simple, you can eat, quiet at night.

The hotel is very new and renovated! The front desk lady is very warm and the location is good. Going down is the pedestrian street! There is a local restaurant on the pedestrian street. The mutton is very good. It tastes exactly like the Chinese restaurant. There is also a cake shop. It is also very delicious. When we left, the aunt at the front desk helped us call the car. After calling the car, we were still waiting for the car at the door. The service was great and gave full marks.

I had a fantastic experience during my 6 day stay at Halvat Hotel. The hotel owner, Valida, was very kind and helpful. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that she is also a tour guide! Location is great if you plan to spend a lot or daily time in or around the Baščaršija area and Ferhadija street. The room was well maintained and clean. Simple and tidy. Towels were provided. Bathroom showed no signs of water damage or anything nasty. No dust, everything was in good order. Since my stay was during the off season there isn't much I can say about the complimentary breakfast that would be normally provided during the high tourist season. Nor can I determine the noise level, but my stay was quite peaceful. From the outside environment, it appeared that this part of the city was relatively quiet (minimal disturbing traffic and ambiance). Clothes are washed else where, but there are offers available depending on the load size. Price was reasonable. Wi-fi and air-conditioning are also provided. If you are traveling solo or to the country for the first time (like me), then I highly recommend it. The owners are incredibly thoughtful and patient who add a very human element to the whole experience. I will be staying there again if ever given another opportunity to visit Sarajevo.
