Hotel Festival

The hotel deserves 10 points literally. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. House keeping service is also very successful. The breakfast is one of the best ones within the hotels I stayed abroad. The hotel is in the city center, 10 minutes walking distance from Bascarsija (Başçarşı). The hotel has an indoor parking area as well. There is too much word to say for the employees. They are very kind, respectful and always trying to help. Firstly and particularly, I would like to thank Mr. Ismar, who we had seen constantly during the 2.5 days we stayed, who always helped us with his polite, respectful and cheerful communication as well as meeting our demands. In addition, I would like to thank Ms. Ayla, who welcomed us at the entrance to the hotel and behaved helpful in a friendly way. Finally we are grateful to the all other hotel staff in common with the woman employee in the kitchen who prepared special brewed tea (classic Turkish tea) for us at our breakfast and speaks Turkish very well. This is the great hotel where you will want to take a rest after a tiring day relievedly and start the day well with its breakfast.

Friendly and helpful staff, welcoming atmosfere and location is great, in city center, everything was walking distance. We arrived with car and had slightly problems with finding the parking location, but that's on us and is quite normal for city centre location. Breakfast was great, so many options and everything was delicious. Room was clean, bed quite comfy, we had no complaints. Definitely would return at hotel Festival and I definitely recommend it if you are visiting Sarajevo.

One of the absolute best hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff is amiable and helpful (and this is an understatement)! They helped us short-list what to visit on our first visit to Sarajevo, all the tips were beautiful and exceeded all expectations. The hotel has a closed parking space with 24/7 availability. The breakfast options are excellent, there is something for everyone (we had a vegan with us and they absolutely enjoyed all the selections available. The rooms are beyond spotless. Our room faced the street and we did not hear a thing - the windows make it completely silent so we were able to enjoy the view of the Miljacka river and the old Orthodox church. Baš-čaršija is within walking distance (5 minutes), the Yellow fortress within 20 min (and it is a scenic walk so highly recommend it), and a ton of food options (local cuisine, food courts, pastry shops...). Overall can not recommend it enough and definitely plan to stay here for all future visits to Sarajevo.

We had a perfect stay. In fact, all of our hotel stays in Bosnia-Herzegovina were perfect. The hotel is very well located, about 10 minutes walk from the city center, but in a very quiet area. The hotel is new (or at least it looks like it), the room and the bathroom were very big, everything was very well decorated, very clean, beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and varied. The staff was very friendly at all times and gave us very good advice. The hotel has free parking. You can tell that everything is handled with care.

This is my second stay at Hotel Festival in Sarajevo in the past five months, and I am again pleased with the experience. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. They helped again with the parking, which is available for the hotel guests. The breakfast is excellent. Everything in the city center and in the old town is within a short walk. I look forward to visiting again.
