From some of the earlier reviews I was expecting a run down holiday Inn. It is not! Public areas were updated and clean. Staff friendly and professional. Rooms were fairly large with clean comfortable beds. Yes some of the furnishings were outdated but who cares if all is clean. Bathroom with tub/shower was adequate. Sarajevo is slow in rebuilding after... more

If you want to experience the charme of an old solialist hotel, go there: The bar is made from stainless steel... Looks similar to the gym... Both reminded me more of a butchery than a nice hotel... more

I honestly don't even know where to begin. If we had had any time to do some research (or had the latest version of the Lonely Planet) we would not have agreed to the travel agent's suggestion to stay here. This building is trapped in the 70s and while that's really cool for an outer facade... it would be great... more

This hotel is instantly recognizable. It is convenient to the national/international buses and the tram. Also there are plenty of taxis to get you to the airport. The rooms could use an update but they were very clean as were the bathrooms. The food at breakfast was excellent. more

I feel like after all of the negative reviews that I need to defend this hotel. My wife and I stayed here for three nights on a several weeks long tour of the Balkans. We both still long to go back to it - the city AND the hotel. The rooms were clean and perfectly adequate. The desk service was... more

I must say that the hotel decor is outdated. When you entered the lobby, surely you felt as if you were transferred back to the 70's. The bathroom is very clean and I appreciate their efforts to do that, but the size is quite small. I don't understand how two people can fit in there. Their rooms are also outdated,... more

Stayed here on the second leg of my Balkan tour , arriving in Sarajevo by train it was one of the first buildings I saw. However on exiting the station it had completely dissapeared. Hence €10 for a cab ride around the corner. This hotel was fine except for the fact that the pool apparently is not there anymore (... more

Went to Sarajevo last September for 3 days during a lovely stay in Croatia with my girlfriend. We were recommended this hotel (!!!) when telling people we would go to Sarajevo and after taking a look at the website and pictures it looked like a nice 4 star hotel, also (older) reviews sounded quite ok... But it really turned out... more

The Holiday Inn in Sarajevo is a step back in time to the 1984 Winter Olympics, down to the branded crockery and cutlery in the dining rooms. However, the front desk staff went out of their way to be helpful after my family and I had been turned away from the nearby Hecco, when it turned out the accommodation we... more
