Hotel Holiday seems to possess a nostalgic charm with its seventies-inspired atmosphere, though some guests find it outdated. The staff's friendliness is often commended, yet there are mixed feelings regarding the breakfast and certain services. While the hotel's cleanliness is widely applauded, opinions diverge on the value it provides, with some guests citing worn amenities and unexpected additional fees. The rooms are spacious, yet their maintenance and decor do not always meet guests' expectations. Despite this, the hotel's central location remains a highlight for many visitors.

The room is incredibly spacious, providing ample space to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. The bed is extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. In terms of cleanliness, the bathroom is spotless, reflecting the high standards of hygiene maintained by the establishment. However, the only drawback is the somewhat unreliable wifi connection, which can be an inconvenience for those needing to stay connected. Additionally, while the infrastructure appears a bit outdated, it still retains a certain charm and character that adds to the overall ambiance of the place. Finally, the breakfast offered is of average quality, providing a satisfactory start to the day without any standout elements.

It was a dream come true to stay in the only hotel that was operational during the war in Sarajevo.

Good point
① Shower water comes out properly. There is also water.
② There is someone at the front desk 24 hours a day.
③ Quiet in the hotel
④ About a 10-minute walk from the bus terminal and Sarajevo Station of Bosnian Railways.
Bad things
① Tastes like breakfast buffet apple juice diluted 5 times with water.
② The bed cover of the room is burnt
③ It is far from Bashcharsia, which would be the center of tourism.
Other
The amenities are shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair dryer, towels, refrigerator and two hangers. Bring your own toothbrush, shave and comb.

I'm complaining, but I was happy to stay in a hotel that was still in operation during the war, and as someone interested in dark tourism, it was a dream come true.

We stayed in April 2023

This hotel is very well located, only some blocks away from historical monuments and Plaza Bascarsija, you can go by walking or using the trams (their public transportation). Regarding the hotel: The rooms are very spacious and clean, staff was very friendly and the breakfast food was amazing 🥰 (that's what I enjoyed the most 😅) it had a lot of variety for every taste.

We couldn't enjoyed the pool by the time we went there, it was under maintenance but look very relaxing on pictures, we might have to come back to enjoy it!

Our stay was relax and very enjoyable, I definitely recommend this hotel!

The hotel had a great location with a store right next door to grab whatever was needed but also a shopping center to walk around and explore. It also has easy access to get out of town if you are traveling to other parts of town and country. The staff was friendly and their restaurant had great options. Parking was included and it had multiple places to park the car.

Amazing experience! I stayed in Sarajevo for just three nights but I wish I had made my stay longer, as this city has a lot more to offer. This hotel has perfect location because it is in front of two of the main museums in Sarajevo, it's next to the best malls -with cheap shopping, lots of restaurants and exchange places) -and it's also walking distance from the historic old town of Sarajevo. It was very easy and convenient, rooms were comfortable and nice, breakfast was also good, highly recommend!

The hotel is nice and clean. The staff are very polite and happy to help. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The breakfast was great, with local cuisine offerings. The location of the hotel is good, and you can easily reach the city center by car or by tram, even on foot if you like walking. The hotel is big, so you may wait a bit on the elevator.
The only drawback is their fitness and pool. A part of the fitness equipment is old and broken, and the pool was out of order during our visit.

The room and the view of the city are very nice. The location is excellent.
The breakfast was very bad and we are very disappointed because it did not justify the price of the accommodation. A hotel of that rank should do much better.
The tub was repainted and old, and the front door was broken.
All in all, an average experience for an above average price.

Room was not too bad, could be upgraded in some areas. Bed was comfortable and linens were clean. Lighing in the room was not so good (specialy in the entry area).
Staff not so sure about the pointing us to everything we have asked about. We wanted to have dinner in the National Restaurant but there was no room to sit, only at the low sitting tables that are not convinient to eat from. There was some party there, some of them were seated and some of them were expected to come but waiter did not bother to try to make us room to sit and eat. We had to go out of the hotel to other place to eat. All in all it was not bad stay but could be upgraded. Decorations on the walls in general are outdated and needs overhaul.

Don´t even try it
Beatiful lobby, and the "beatiful" word stops right here in the lobby!!
The room was old, the sheets were too small for the bed, and the pillow was directly on the matress; linen looked greyish, the toilet was exiguous and if you have long legs, you can´t seat on the "throne".
Breakfast facilities looked like a cantina in the dark ages of the " Cold War!!
Breakfast was very very poor, nothing looked fresh!
It was an experience to forget!!!!
