Hotel Holiday

A big hotel next to the National Museum and a mall. Interesting building, especially the lobby zone. Nice location: I already mentioned the mall and trams passing right next to the hotel, there are also supermarkets, ATMs, and cafes nearby. The other side is that trams and the street bring some constant noise level to the room. Breakfast could have been a bit better, especially coffee. The rest was fine: a spacious room with a bathtub, free parking, and helpful staff.

The hotel has a rich history that it proudly flaunts, just in the wrong way. The dining room looks like it was made for the filming of a movie about the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, and the rooms also proudly show their age. Every morning I was very surprised when the waiter brought freshly baked eggs from the kitchen as if they came from a fridge. The way the food was served made me suspect that it was simply thrown out to spoil the guests' appetite. Also, 1 of the 4 elevators did not work at all. During my stay, the hotel was fully occupied, meaning it was hosting about 1,000 guests. If each of them paid 100 USD per night, that's a lot of money. My recommendation to the management, which is obviously far away from Sarajevo, is to invest at least a small part of it in renovations.

Good location and friendly staff
