What guests think

Travellers praise Hotel President Sarajevo for its unbeatable Old Town location, generally spacious rooms (many with balconies or river views), and mostly friendly staff, while other aspects draw more varied opinions depending on expectations and room assignment.

Housekeeping is widely regarded as good, though a few reviews mention dated carpets, mold or dust and a need for deeper cleaning in spots. Breakfast ranges from very good to underwhelming, with issues like watery juice or limited variety reported alongside many positive remarks. Comfort can be affected by hard mattresses, intermittent or centrally controlled AC, occasional Wi‑Fi drops, and some slow or unwelcoming check‑in experiences. Expect a clean, comfortable base in a prime location, with a few rough edges.

Hotel President is conveniently located right by the old town of Sarajevo. We had a car with us and it was super easy to pull up by the hotel and the staff opened the garage for us and we were able to park. The location is awesome -- all of Sarajevo's small shops, restaurants, and bars were in walking distance, and major attractions like the two mosques and multiple museums. I'd stay again at this property.

The hotel has an excellent central location, and the underground garage is spacious and safe, though getting in is tricky and would be easier if the hotel gave clearer instructions. Check-in was frustrating. We were asked to pay immediately, but both of our credit cards failed on their machine, even though the same cards worked in other hotels before and after. We ended up paying in Euros at a poor exchange rate. Our booking was for three adults, yet the room had only two beds. After waiting, staff brought in a thin sponge mattress that felt more like sleeping in a camp than a 4-star hotel. A torn curtain added to the neglected feel. Cleanliness overall was below standard — the whole hotel could use a deep cleaning. Air conditioning was another problem: it worked on the first day but was shut off the next morning, and we had to ask reception to turn it back on. Morning rest was further disturbed by loud staff and maids using walkie-talkies in the hallways. Breakfast was average at best, with stale pastries — disappointing in a city known for its excellent fresh baked goods. The front desk staff were polite and helpful.

Konum olarak güzel , fakat anlaşılan ücretin dışında extra otopark ücreti olarak 15€ talep etmeleri hoş olmadı. Birde klima merkezi sistem uzaktan kontrol ile çalışıyor. İki kez resepsiyona giderek çalıştırmalarini talep ettikten sonrasında çalıştırdılar. Kahvaltı ve konumu gayet iyiydi geri kalan kısım orta diyebilirim.

Bra plassering i gamlebyen, bare å vandre rett til alle de små kaffe barer, restauranter og shopping bodene i Bascarsija. Her er det mye historie. Var heldig og fikk parkeingsplass i kjelleren. Litt trang nedkjøring og ikke mange plasser. Rommet var stort med en god sittestol og et lite bord. Stort bad med varmekabler i gulvet.

This hotel is at perfect location when it comes to Bascarsija, Sarajevska Zicara. It is hard to locate there is no parking marked in front of the main entrance. Room was very clean and had space however bathroom shower had mold that almost 5 star hotel shouldn’t have. The staff very friendly and professional.

The location is outstanding. Right outside the door is the old town. Rooms are huge. We stayed in a room with a balcony facing the river and lived hearing the morning and evening prayers. The downside was the hardness of the beds and the huge crowds in the breakfast room in the morning where the sound could get quite loud. Fresh juice would be better than the watery sugary version out of the machine.

The hotel didn’t live up to my expectations. The check in was way too slow. Guests were waiting but the reception continued in a really really slow pace. How hard can it be to take a copy of a passport, get the payment and leave a receipt and a key? As a Hotels.com Silver member I was supposed to get a bottle of wine. I forgot to remind them but none showed up. The AC didn’t work or they shut it off during every nights. If I pay for a room with AC, I expect to get that. The wifi also failed several times.
