Top Sarajevo Hotel Reviews

Hotel President Sarajevo

Hotel President Sarajevo

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of those instances where paying a bit more money gives you a positive return for the investment. We chose this hotel for three main reasons: location, parking and breakfast. The location is unbeatable. You literally step outside the hotel and you are in the bustling old town. Parking is on site for a fee, but worth it. Breakfast was abundant and featuring a variety of salty and sweet options. Overall we were very happy."
