Hotel Kovači Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The Swissotel Sarajevo is truly a world class property. Built recently, the infrastructure is modern and the design sleek. Favorites include the privacy and size of rooms, the high tech lighting and service controls, and efficient valet parking. The spa was an actual spa, rather than a hotel with a jacuzzi calling itself a spa, and we loved our visit to the salt rooms, hammam, sauna, and indoor pool. The panoramic views from the room made us want to stay there all day! The breakfast was included and was also superb. The only downside, which is clearly stated on their website, is that the hotel is dry. I imagine that a cocktail bar and wine room offered to the same standard as the rest of the facilities that do exist would make for a truly exceptional destination. Will stay again!

This is the best location, very close to the old town. The plane was cancelled from Turkey at that time. The hotel was happy to change it for free to the next day. The overall service was good.

The hotel is located in a residential area, very close to the city center and less than one kilometer to the Latin Bridge. The kitchen, living room, dining room are large and the equipment is also available. It is necessary to wait a little time for check-in. It would be better if you can indicate it first.

Presidential is an understatement for this superior, modern hotel in the heart of Sarajevo’s attractions, restaurants and pedestrian streets. Our Overseas Adventure Travel tour group was assigned to this hotel. The tour company could not have made a better selection. The room I occupied overlooked the river and the base of a mountain range. The room is beyond spectacular, especially considering less expensive rooms are generally assigned to tour groups. The bathroom features an entire glass wall with curtains to close for privacy. But why? Many of the rooms overlook a busy street and the river. Besides, who’d want to look at a 71-year-old geezer shaving?☺ Windows are insulated blocking cold and street noise. The room is spacious, clean, modern, and has all creature comforts. But beware of the minibar prices. There are small grocers nearby that sell wine for about 6 euros. Buffet breakfast was included for tour group members, so I don’t know if there’s a separate charge for other guests. The hotel staff are amazing and courteous. If only Orlando area hotels could learn from Hotel President Sarajevo.

Our tour group had a planned stay at this hotel and when I read some of the negative reviews here I was concerned. I shouldn’t have worried. The rooms looked brand-new to me. I have no idea if the decor was the latest fashion but it was clean, attractive and everything worked except that the Internet was sometimes slow. There were parties in the restaurant but I never heard the music in my room on the second floor. The location was excellent, convenient to the Old City center. The view from my room included a 16th-century wall and other remains of a caravanserai. Breakfast was the best variety I’ve seen on this trip (that includes 3 previous hotels). There were several varieties of eggs, many vegetables, sweets probably left from dinner the previous night, and coffeemakers with a wide variety of options. Tables were set with linen cloths and napkins. Although this hotel is among the many which had to be rebuilt after the war, it has a fascinating history. It was the first modern hotel built in Sarajevo during the Austro-Hungarian period. Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, was to proceed to this hotel after a meeting at the City Hall but was assassinated en route after they chose to go to the hospital to check on an aide-de-camp who was injured in an attempt earlier in the day. Please don’t let the negative reviews scare you away. This is a great hotel.
