GREAT LOCATION AND VERY COMFORTABLE

WE ENJOYED OUR STAY HERE VERY MUCH. IN FACT IT WAS PERFECT! THE HOTEL WAS CLEAN, COMFORTABLE AND EXTREMELY WELL LOCATED, JUST A STEP OUT OF THE BACK DOOR TO THE OLD CITY. THE STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND ARRANGED A TOUR FOR US TO TRAFNIK THAT WAS A HIGHLIGHT. BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT. I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN. WE LOVED THE FACT THAT IT WAS A FAMILY-RUN HOTEL.

This is a really nice, small, charming hotel on the edge of Sarajevo's old town. The proprietors are friendly and the atmosphere is personable. Comfy, clean, and just as described.

Great place that deserves it's many good reviews

Hotel in a great location for popping into old city. While room was typical European compact, it had everything we needed. Breakfasts also fine. What sets Konak apart is an incredibly warm, helpful staff that cannot do enough for guests. They arranged 2 private guided tours that were outstanding, at our convenience and very modest cost, helped get my car parked, carry luggage, etc. Free parking a nice feature if needed but spaces are a challenge as is unloading bags from car out front. Could not see getting an SUV sized vehical in one.

Home away from home in Sarajevo

What a great little place to stay in Sarajevo. Clean, tidy, comfortable and very good value for money. Would come back again and recommend to others. Based in the old town, it is the perfect location for tourists. The food nearby is amazing - ask the guys working in the hotel for a recommendation. They couldn't have done enough for us. Booked personal tours for us around Sarajevo and shared some of their experiences of the war with us. They were even able to accommodate us for another night when our departing flight was cancelled. Only tip would be to skip their breakfast - it is very basic and there are so many affordable, local dishes to try nearby instead. Brilliant!

Location is great, horrible cleanliness

The hotel is at a great location and the price is good, the decor is intent to resemble Bosniak culture.
The breakfast is really not that terrible. The people at the front desk are super nice and helpful.
However.... there were issues with the cleanliness
There was a cuckroach in the bathroom, the sheets were dirty.

Perfect location for tourists

Overall a great location! Right in the heart of Baščaršija... as in right in the center of it so that is a big plus. The hotel itself it small so reception the breakfast area and the elevator are what comprises of the ground floor. The free breakfast wasn't too impressive and very simple (coffee, yogurt, bread etc) with the dishes from previous patrons laying around not having been bussed. The rooms are very cozy and nice. Would consider staying here again as the price and location are good.

A long way from the tourist parts of Belgrade.

We stopped here as a last night in Belgrade. It is a long way from the tourist parts and requires a taxi ride. Also it is in the 2400 dinar zone to the airport. The first hotel we stayed in was only 1800. Having said all that, it was clean, good service and had excellent air conditioning that worked, which is rare in Europe. We had a very good nights sleep before our long flight home.

Excellent hotel in Sarajevo

The hotel is steps from Old Town and the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. I worried a bit about noise as my room was on the first floor, but it was not a problem. The rooms are large and very comfortable and include a refrigerator and fairly quick Wi-Fi. If I go back to Sarajevo I will stay here.

The perfect small intimate hotel.

This hotel is the perfect small intimate hotel. The location could not be better, it is right in the old city, bazaar, so you can come in during the day, have a rest, and go out again. The rooms are comfy and clean, wifi is excellent and the views from the back are wonderful. The best thing about this hotel is the attentive and helpful staff. The young people working here, some of whom are the owner's sons, are so informative and helpful and really love their city and give so many great ideas of where to go, where to eat, and tours that can bring the city to life for a visitor. The hotel arranged a 5 hour private tour of the hills around the city, including the tunnel under the airport through which people carried supplies during the Siege. It was an incredible experience, tour was so informative and we really learned so much about what the people here went through during the Siege of Sarajevo. We enjoyed coming back in the afternoon and making a cup of tea. Their recommendations for dinner was also terrific, from the local restaurants where the locals go, to the \"splurge\" hotel up on the hill with terrific views of the city. There was NOTHING I would complain about.

Nice little gem in the middle of the old city

We booked this hotel in a bit of a rush and what a find it was.

The place is small with about 8 rooms but it is well worth it. The location is unbeatable but the best thing about this hotel is the staff. They were some of the kindest, most helpful people we've met in any hotel setting and even sent a car to pick us up at the airport free of charge, this despite my asking right before boarding our 1-hour flight to Sarajevo from Vienna.

Highly recommended

Best staff ever! And best location for Sarajevo!

We loved the Garni Hotel Konak - the staff went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing time in Sarajevo from the first moment we showed up, and the hotel's stunning location in the Old Town is just impossible to beat. I can't recommend this hotel enough for those wanting to get to know Sarajevo on foot!

Nice hotel right next to Stari Grad (Old City)

Hotel day staff speaks English and is extremely helpful (Night staff tries to help but can't speak English.) Taxi driver had no idea where the hotel was. He left me off and made me find it myself. Make sure you have written down the exact address. Call ahead. There are only 8 rooms so they might be full.

An excellent choice in old town

This hotel is clean and comfortable, and it is located in the old town and close to tourist attractions. The staff is extremely helpful and offers free pickup from the airport, which is great. The rooms do suffer from tram noise, but that is true throughout old town - so if you want to be near the Bascarsija, this is your place!

Ideal hotel for visiting Sarajevo

I stayed here with a friend for two nights at the start of our holiday and another night at the end. Small modern hotel on a main street with a back entrance that led straight into the heart of the old town. Very clean comfortable rooms and well looked after. Generous breakfast buffet more than adequate for a small hotel unless you want a lot of cooked food. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff who seem keen to help guests make the most of their visit. We learnt a lot from asking questions and began to understand more about the recent Balkan war and its effect on Sarajevo. Also went on a 'war tour' arranged by the hotel which was worthwhile. We stayed in the front top attic room for the first two nights and a room below for the last night. Trams run on the main road below and although aware of them for the first night , as we arrived late, after that we took little notice. The free pick up from the airport was very helpful as we arrived late and it was raining heavily.

It's close to the Vatican just 5 minutes walk!

If u want to be close to the Vatican then this is the right choice, however dont expect the comfort from a hotel. Food is inadequate just bread, juice and coffee which is limited just for 1 person. Everything is walking distance and it is not neccessary to stay close to the Vatican.

Great option in Sarajevo

For a great price, we had a comfortable, secure room in the old town. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were extremely friendly. No complaints! WIFI was strong. They offer a few free parking spots if you arrive early but otherwise just choose any garage in the area for about 10 Euro/day.

Tea, coffee, and snacks are available all day, which is great if you're coming in and out and need a nice place to take a refreshment. This place is a gem!

Outstanding Service, Location

Some of the best, most considerate service I've ever had. The rooms are fine (though not terribly comfortable if you need to spend a lot of time inside). The real perk is the excellent location and the fact that the entire staff and hotel management team is always ready with excellent recommendations and useful information. Note that the airport shuttle is only from the airport; you'll need to book a taxi (approximately 10 euros or 20 marks) for the return.

In the heart of the old town

This hotel is in the center of the old town where all the restaurants, shops and sights are. They are a very small hotel and are family run and make you feel like part of their family. They even picked us up at the airport and would not accept a tip. The free breakfast is sparse but adequate. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel
