Residence inn is in a great location where you can reach everywhere in walking distance. We loved the staff who were so smiley and attentive. Especially Mr Amer welcomed us warmly. Breakfast is good but crowded. We had an issue with our A/C. It was just blowing fan not cool air. We reported this next morning and they fixed it but following night it repeated. We called ...
In the Latin quarter right next to the old Turkish corner. Brand new hotel- very stylishly decorated. Also next to the river.
Old hotel with no facilities, same breakfast every day and the hotel looks like ghost hotel
Pro - Everything beyond my expectations. The best accommodation I have stayed through my Balkans holiday. Extra like fruits, fruit juice were made avaliable. The hosts went out of their way to ensure I had a nice stay. Even drove me to the bus terminal. Con: Nothing.
Nice, new and clean accommodation in Mostar..though location is a bit out of ur coming from the bus station. The hotel told me that they could arrange a taxi for me in the morning to catch my bus at 7am. Went down to the reception the next morning and there was no one! Despite me having informed them of my departure time the day before. Ended to walking to the bus stat...
Five star treatment from this small villa. They were so good and made the stay in Mostar perfect.
We were well looked after. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable spacious hotel with short walks to centre and Apparition Hill. We had a good stay.
Pros: staff is absolutely amazing, the breakfasts were wonderful, and the location is fantastic. Staff were helpful, informative, and kind. Breakfasts included freshly made omelets. Everyone went above and beyond to help with any little thing (for example, I wanted toast and they made it happen). In five minutes you can reach the old square on foot. Cons: I would NO...
The room was clean, well laid out, and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. The staff were friendly and most accommodating, truly willing to go out of their way for the comfort of their guests. An excellent stay, with parking to boot!
The best location and the best owner. They made us feel so very welcome, helped to park the car in front of the pansion, gave us maps on where to eat and visit. Thank you, Pansion Villa Cardak owner! You gave us a beautiful memory!
We had one night at the Hotel Bristol on one of the hottest days of the summer - 42 degrees. It's a really nice hotel with a big room, and is well located only a few blocks from the bus station. The air con wasn't working in the reception area or cafe, but thank God it worked well in our room. The staff there were lovely and the man on reception was particularly helpfu...
More than 1 km walk up a steep hill from the Cathedral part of Sarajevo, without tram. Gasp. I booked a twin with aircon - they put me in a single without aircon. So they moved me to a room with aircon but it was only a single. The carpet was really old and so smelly. I would not stay there again.
10/15min walk from bus/train station. Not by old town but is a nice long walk or lots of bike/public transport options. Staff is very friendly. My room was off the road and quiet. Good shower. A little musty smell, but overall a good experience
This apartment is at about 25 minutes from city center, but is quite close to Tunnel of Hope. The owner is a Serbian Bosnian, very friendly, helpful and talkative. He enjoys sharing his experience during the Siege of Sarajevo. This villa has three storey, a small lift is installed to facilitate luggage delivery to upper floors. The location is very quiet, room is cle...
in my opinion the best hotel in Bosnia - excellent location in the center of Mostar, very clean and spacious rooms - one of the best breakfast buffets I have seen in Bosnia and very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay there again when in Mostar
We were confused by the location; our first stop was the address provided by hotel booking, but appearing to us was a run-down building, with no one there. We noticed a small map showing the new location at about 100 meters away, eventually were pleased to find a brand new three storey building, surrounded by high concrete wall, with a front yard covered by gravel path...
A great hotel that is spacious and conveniently located. About 4 bus stops away from the old town or a short walk. Friendly and helpful staff. Full window and able to open up for fresh air.
The best!! Great place - great value for money Wonderfully friendly owner
I was staying in Pansion River for three nights and they were offering me a free airport pick up. Such a kind gestures from a guest house like Pansion River. Nash, their staff pick me up at the airport with a taxi we got along instantly as he was very helpful and friendly. Location is very nice, 4 minutes walking distance to the Old Town. I love everything about this p...
Villa Anri is a few minutes walk from Mostar's restored Ottoman bridge and old quarter and an easy walk from numerous restaurants. We got upgraded to a room with a terrace with amazing view over the town. I can't describe other rooms but the whole place looks clean and well furnished and equipped. The helpful staff will arrange transfers to and from the bus station. Th...
as a B&B apartment hotel, i think it is very good and near the most known location (Ottman old bridge & restaurants) of the location. Staff and helpful and polite. the only downside of it is you hear whatever is happening outside your door.
Easy to find, on a quiet street/neighborhood. Large parking lot, clean rooms, nice staff. We walked right to the train station at the bottom of the hill. Close enough to even walk back from the central part of the city for us. At the train station there were a bunch of families of gypsys pretty much living out of their cars. It was freakin awesome to watch them, t...
The hotel has very helpful staff & is efficient with the check-in process. There is a gated secure parking space within the hotel compound. The room we had was on 3rd level, we did not get the best sunset view over the caputal. Nonetheless, it was still a very nice room with windows facing a nice little modern amphitheatre and the yelliw bastion. Rooms on the 3rd floor...
The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The location is absolutely perfect for the old town, you are right in the middle. I really enjoyed my stay and would use again if I visit Sarajevo again.
I was just there for 4 days. This hotel is right in the city center so you could visit restaurants or the lake or the park easily on foot (5 mins). The room's super clean. They clean the room every day. And the host was super nice. He helped me with everything, from arranging my rides from the airport to telling me all the local spots. He and all the staff were super f...
Absolutely the best location 2 min walk to the old bazaar full of shops,cafes etc.Money exchange places dotted around everywhere. The hotel and its staff were excellent.The breakfast was great and coffee was delicious.The rooms were spacious and comfortable.I would definitely come back
Cheap places to stay in Bosnia Herzegovina
Very friendly, I recommend strongly.
I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best accommodation I ever had. Sammy and Sanya and especially their lovely mother are the best hosts I could ever ask for. They never hesitate to go out of their way to offer us as much help as possible. Upon arrival, mama constantly checked if we were tired, offered us supper and prepared us really nice breakfast. I highl...
Good bakery next door. I stayed here when there was only a few people so it was pretty good. Not sure how good it would be if it was full of people.
Very pleasant place to spend a night. You will not be disappointed.
other than the narrow roads to the hotel, heater, the others are all good. especially for group traveller like us. about the heater, we thought it will be on automatically or central heating but there are none so we slept in cold. if you are travelling here, do check about the heater at the counter. they are all friendly
The owner, Stefan, is highly a sense of attachment. He keeps trying to serve and help me. The house is really cozy and comfortable. Chin-up bar, dumbbell, TV are all set. Plus, breakfast is free of charge! Wonderful city, Mostar comes wonderful hostel golden bridge.
I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the wonderful lady that runs the place. She run a tight ship, but is so helpful and so nice. She give you coffee and a pastry in the morning as you head into the common area. Great way to wake up. I only stayed for a short time and had already traveled through Mostar, but the tours they organize look great. They also organize tr...
Great place, had a really good time. Deny and the guys will look after you there.
great hostel and sonya is really helpful!
Staffs are friendly and helped me to settled my checked-in issue which email I had sent to hostel to postpone a day due to my travelling issue did not reach them and they did not know. One staff (guy) had helped me on laundry and another guy helped to send to my room. Kitchennete is good and breakfast very simple. If stay longer you will get bored with same breakfast ...
turned up and was waiting around for 2 hours for someone to come check me in, in the end i just left and went to another hostel. what a joke.
Ivan is a very good and helpful guy who runs the hostel. the location of hostel is good. it is close to Baśćarćija. clean rooms, good fascilities and good price
Hostel is walking distance from main bus station but requires some distance from the old bridge. Hostel provides free breakfast and tour for a fee. Miran’s tour was very enriching and enjoyable. Hostel has 2 common areas, indoor and outdoor. Room was very spacious, extremely clean and bed was very comfortable. The room was very well maintained and the toilets were ex...
Vinko and his family are absolutely fantastic. This is by far the friendliest place I have ever stayed at. Vinko's wife was fabulous and the entire family made us very welcome. Even though this place is a little far from the center, Vinko made sure we had a ride with his family every morning we were there. I really enjoyed my stay here and it was great value for money....
NICE PLACE TO STAY. LOW BUDGET WITH GOOD FACILITIES. RECOMMENDED!!
Family run business. The host picked us up from the airport and dropped us back the next day. The room was clean but had a bit of a 80's feel to it - which we didn't mind anyway. If you are fussy about small things this place is not for you.
Best Hotel Mama in Mostar. She gave all guests warm welcome, delicious breakfast, clean and romantic beds (I've never seen dorm beds with potpourri petals). Overall I felt her love, affection and intimacy during my short stay. The only drawback is that the rooms are a bit tiny , about 10 sqm for 4 people.
live in a guesshouse, the family lives downstairs. . nice ..
We booked hostel Kucha the day before arriving knowing it had only been open for two weeks! The owner Selja was amazing, my review won't do this hostel justice, what she has created is a home away from home. The hostel is spotless, great Wifi, great staff and there is parking in site. We can't recommend this hostel more highly and look forward to hearing about its ongo...
The accommodation is small but super clean, cosy and well-equipped with a kitchenette. It is located just a few minutes walk from the main town. The host, who is warm and friendly, doesn't speak a lot of English but can speak fluent German. She welcomed us with water and two shots of alcohol! Note that google map doesn't work well in this area and it led us to a const...
The facilities and clean is superb,the best hostel ever,owner alisa is really helpful,location to attractions place is walking distance,i loved the breakfirst so much 😂,will come back again soon
Zoran is such an amazing host and kind man! Anything you need at all he will be ready to assist. The room was absolutely perfect. Clean, cute, cozy, and modern - equipped with everything. We made a nice cup of coffee in the morning as we watched the snow fall from outside the window :) 5 minute walking distance to old town. Zoran’s place is a must-stay if you are ever ...
The appartement is located very close to both the city centre and the river. Super clean and completely renovated. 👌👌👌
Pleasant stay. Simple accommodation but the host and hostess were pleasant and accommodating despite the language barrier.
Super sweet owners, nice terrace facing grape field. Serene and beautiful. Room is clean and cosy.
Lovely very clean studio on outskirts of town(25 minutes walk at least). Kitchenette did not have many accessories but this was remedied quickly by owner. Very kind lady looked after us who did not speak English but assisted us well and the owner was in contact to ensure our stay was pleasant. Good customer service all round.
We agreed with Deni that we would be paying in USD, however during check out he wanted 15% more for just that. I dont know what difference it makes between EUR and USD, neither were local currencies anyway. Nevertheless, this was unnecessary hassle to our trip and I didn't appreciate that.
Stayed there for 2 nights in a triple-bed room. Room is clean and well-maintained (though you shouldn't expect high standard as in hotels in major cities). Really spacious. Wi-fi and TV are available inside room. Ask for a room on the other side of the expressway to get a quiet and pleasant sleep. Breakfast is good value for money. Decent and some warm food offered for...
This is my first time travel to Bosnia. But unluckily i lost my money 320 Euro. I remembered that after I did some calculation the owner invited me and my friends having some tea (upstairs). But at the same time, the owner just busy go downstairs(my room at downstairs). She mentioned that she did washing her clothes. Of course, before I went out, I locked my room. I'm...
Very friendly hosts are a value added to this Pension. Dzenita and her father will do everything to make your stay pleasant - pick you up from the airport or bus station, drive you to your meetings when you are in a hury (thank you Dzenita!!!)- the Pension itself is very centrally located, all attractions and restaurants are walking distance from the hotel, rooms are ...

Guests are respected and every effort is made by the owner to ensure that their visit is fruitful. I highly respect the owner for his hospitality and strongly recommend this a...
Harris was very welcoming and informative. The room was very clean, sheets were thick and comfortable, with a modern shower. Very quiet and literally just 2 minutes walk from the Old Town. A basic room, somewhat small, but for all intents and purposes, it was perfect for us (we got a double room and only spent a night). If we ever came back to Sarajevo, we would stay...
It was a very nice experience in an exceptional location. The hotel has a stunning view to the River. The staff were very welcoming and nice and they gave us a room with view without asking for. Great food fown in its resturant as well as breakfast. my only advice, the hotel is a bit old so the management needs to take care about certain things like the lock of door...
The only negative was that for our taste the beds were on the hard side. I highly recommend the Petit Prince.
The apartments are very near the main part of the city centre (just far enough away to be quiet at night) and it's an easy walk. Contrary to the information on the web site, there was wifi as well as a wide variety of international TV channels. Overall, great value for money.
Lovely place, all was good except that rooms do not have any iron metal. Pillows could be little better, softer. I think its one of the best places in this part of Bosnia.
Accommodation was excellent. The host was helpful and was just a phone call away. Like when the A/C did not work on the 2nd day he responded fast and upgraded to another room.
Perfect location. just 5mins walk to old bridge..outside has a lot of restaurants and shops. The staff were great, gave us good recommendations of nice restaurants to eat. .Nice room decors and bed was ok. Cons: Need cabinet to place or to hang clothes .. All in all, it was a great place to stay..definitely will recommend for others to stay here.
Staff was so nice. The place was perfect. food was superbbbbbb!!! 10 10 10 totally recommend.
Excellent
Very friendly, I recommend strongly.
very clean, almost new, excellent value for money
Situated in the Croat side of town, the hotel is modern, new and quiet. Helpful staff, room was clean and bed was comfortable, nothing to complain about.
Fair value for money in a busy city of history, culture and tradition
Needs better internet in rooms Does not have an after hours emergency contact number
Close to Everything, clean and friendly personnel
