Hotel Mepas

Hotel Mepas belongs to contemporary Mostar: it rises above the shopping centre of the same name, in the business district and outside the stone lanes of the Old Town. The contrast with Hotel Almira is immediate. Here space, facilities and a practical address matter most for combining sightseeing with shopping, meetings or a road trip; the Old Bridge is walkable, but not right outside. The hotel presents itself as a five-star property and keeps reception open around the clock.

The official website lists Classic and Superior rooms, suites and a Presidential Suite; two rooms are adapted for guests with disabilities. The eighth-floor wellness centre includes an indoor pool for adults and children, a gym, saunas, a steam bath and relaxation areas, reserved for hotel guests. Cafés and dining venues are also within the complex, along with the mall’s shops and everyday services. Check what the rate includes and the current opening hours for the pool, spa and parking.

Traveller comments often praise room size and cleanliness, staff, breakfast, the pool and parking. Some reviews question the cost of certain services, lighting or a breakfast selection that does not suit everyone; others appreciate staff helping them find a table at busy restaurants. The rating refers to the hotel, not the shopping centre. It is a convenient base for guests who want to meet several needs within one building, although the commercial setting does not have the historic atmosphere of the bridge and bazaar.

The address is on Kneza Višeslava, from where Stari Most is about a ten-minute walk according to the hotel’s information, or a short drive away. On hot days, with children or with luggage, the pool, parking and indoor mall connection may matter more than sleeping among the old lanes. Almira offers a more immersive location for walking by the bridge in the morning and evening; Mepas is a more organised base for families, drivers and travellers prioritising modern facilities.
