First of all, it doesn't have a 24h reception like the listing says; they emailed and said to make arrangements after 9pm because the reception was closed. They arranged a taxi for me for €20 but when I got in the cab the driver informed me they asked him to drive me to a different hotel which they said would be a free upgrade. Problem being that that hotel didn't have 24h reception either, or laundry, which were both requirements I had. So, pretty disappointed.

Perfect

Very good value for money and extremely friendly and accommodating hosts and staff. They made sure that the room was ready for our slightly early arrival and twice started breakfast early for us because of trips. The location is only 5 minutes walk from the City Hall and river. Don’t be put off by the hill as it is very quick to get down and worth it in the evening for the views. There’s an excellent restaurant at the base called Inat Kuca.

Just okay

The hotel is quite okay, nothing special. The air conditioning worked well. The fridge was useful however no kettle in the room which is inconvenient. The room was very small too, if you have bigger suitcases that’s not comfortable. Also you need to climb up to get to the hotel.

Someone unlocked the door to our locked room while we were sleeping! I’m unsure if it is the same key for some of the rooms or something, but it was a scary situation. Aside from that, the room looked neglected, the leather on the headboard was ripped, towels had stains, and the room was generally not very clean. Hotel is also not easily accessible as it is at the top of a very steep hill. It is located by the city and landmarks. Otherwise, though, would not recommend.

Close to the old town

Nice comfortable hotel, although a little dated in its feel. Stayed on the top floor, which is like a small apartment rather than a standard hotel room (and hence no daily cleaning etc). It is at the top of a steep hill, but not worth getting a taxi whilst you're staying there if you can manage the two minute climb at the end of the day. Appear to only take cash - not unusual in Bosnia but needs factoring in.
