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I must say that the hotel decor is outdated.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 Their rooms are also outdated,...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

I frequently travel to Sarajevo for work and stayed in this hotel the first 3-5 times - before I finally realized there are much better options out there. The hotel has a nice lobby and structure but the rooms are in desperate need of a serious rennovation. Almost every room I stayed in had a broken closet, for example, and... more

Having looked at the other options in Sarajevo the Holiday Inn ended up winning on location due to its proximity to the train station and the airport and the good deal on the Holiday Inn website. Having stayed in small/boutique hotels for the rest of our trip round the Balkans it felt a bit odd walking into a big slab... more
