Hotel Berr

It's a lovely family run hotel in a very convenient location. 2 minutes from the old town. You cannot go wrong with the location. When we went, they were short of staff but went over and beyond. The uncle at the reception ( who is part of the family who run the hotel) offered me and my sis breakfast when it wasn't part of our package. We came back making friends with one of the members who run the hotel. She made the best coffee I have ever had. They have the biggest heart and are so welcoming. Will I go back to the same hotel? Absolutely. This hotel is part of the beautiful experience we had in Bosnia The hotel is also very clean .

We snagged a larger room with one twin and one double bed. Upgraded room with clean shower and lots of hot water. Comfortable! This is on a side street just off a main street and surprisingly quiet! The room in a separate building required one key for the building and one for the room. This was a challenge for my roommate and me when we ventured on our own, esp with the variabel hours of front desk open. GREAT breakfast and they accommodated us when we needed to leave super early. Full array of breads, pastries, juices, and proteins. The woman at breakfast even did a folk dance with me to start the day

We came as 3 families and were welcomed very well. They were very friendly. The rooms are very nice. The location of the hotel is very good, you can walk to the center. They take care of you very well. I definitely recommend you to stay at this hotel.

Hotel Berr is just an exceptional hotel in the heart of Old Town Sarajevo! I really enjoyed my stay here. Location couldn't be better - the hotel is a stone's throw from Pigeon Square (maybe 100 metres at most) and about a 10 minute walk to all of the main attractions in Sarajevo - City Hall, the various mosques scattered throughout the city and the main artery of Old Town (the pedestrian area). There are restaurants, shops, money exchange bureaus (watch out for those with high commission!), cafes and souvenir shops as far as the eye can see. There is no lack to choose from. There is also a medium sized supermarket on the corner across from Pigeon Square, open early and stays open quite late. The yellow fortress is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and the white fortress is approximately 20-30 minutes uphill on foot. Note that the white fortress is closed indefinitely for restoration but the views of the city from the top of the hill is well worth the walk! The hotel owns 3 buildings - the result of expansion and buy up of other hotels over the years. So your room will be in one of the building adjacent to the main reception areas or it will be in the primary building. This was not at all an issue, but just so guests are aware of it! Note also that there is no lift/elevator in any of the buildings and the stairwells are rather narrow. I travel with only a small backpack, so for me, it wasn't even a concern, but for guests with large/heavy luggage or with mobility issues, be aware that you will need to climb the narrow stairs. Some of the rooms are in an almost "attic" which might be a problem for some guests. The room was spacious and very clean! Although I was in a single room, there were two twin beds in my room. I believe all rooms have the same setup, regardless of how many guests you are staying in the room. The room was equipped with a desk, a small coffee table, two chairs, a large cabinet to store your luggage and a little electric kettle for boiling water (though no tea or coffee were provided in the room, I would nab instant coffee packets from the breakfast buffet to use the next morning). There were two mugs, a glass water bottle and two glasses. There was no air conditioning in the room, but there was a small fan which was sufficient for my needs. There was a flatscreen tv also in the room with approximately 30 channels available. Mostly local channels, however I was able to find about 5 in English. Some rooms have a mini refrigerator, but mine did not. It would have been a nice perk, but I managed without. The bathroom was very large and ample towels were provided (2 hand towels, 2 massive fluffy bath towels and a bath/floor mat). The bathroom had a large dispenser of hand soap as well as a dispenser of "shampoo" (it was exactly the same as the hand soap), but I used it on my hair and I didn't have any issues with residue. My only (minor) complaint would be the lack of an enclosed shower (only a very thin shower curtain) wh
