Hotel President Sarajevo

Hotel President is at 1 Bazardžani in Sarajevo’s historic centre, a short distance from Sebilj Square and the bazaar lanes of Baščaršija. Its location also works for walks towards the Latin Bridge, Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and City Hall; the local tourism office recommends exploring on foot the sequence of neighbourhoods and landmarks that reveal the meeting of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Sarajevo. The hotel is four-star and has a more contemporary profile than historic Hotel Europe, a few minutes’ walk away.

Rooms have air conditioning, satellite television, a minibar, hairdryer, safe and Wi-Fi; the official site lists several layouts, from singles to suites and family rooms. Breakfast is included with some booking options, and the hotel has a bar, chargeable room service, laundry and airport transfers on request. It is 10 kilometres from the airport, but transfers should be arranged with the property and cost depends on the option chosen. Drivers should ask about parking: the Old Town location may limit direct vehicle access.

Location receives nearly constant praise: many guests say the main sights are reachable without taxis and value the staff’s help. Comments also differ on breakfast—some travellers are pleased, while others find the selection limited—and on room comfort, including firm beds, light or curtains. Google Hotels showed 4.5/5 from 1,051 reviews for 1 Bazardžani. It is a strong score, but the specific room and whether the hotel can confirm parking or a transfer before arrival remain the practical questions.

From the hotel, the covered market, Latin Bridge and places of worship fit into a short walking route; reaching Trebević or the Olympic mountains requires transport. The official website points to public transport connections for other districts, as well as the nearby administrative centre. President suits travellers who want a base in the Old Town with modern facilities and would like to arrange transfers through one contact. Hotel Europe adds historic character, a pool and a broader wellness offer; President is more straightforward for a city stay built around walking, with less emphasis on spa facilities.
