Gaj B-3, Skenderija 14, tel. (+387) 33 55 48 05/(+387)<br />
33 55 48 06, fax (+387) 33 44 52 00, info@hotel-gaj.<br />
co.ba, www.hotel-gaj.com.ba. Small, modest 12-room<br />
hotel with a nice garden set ten minutes walk from the centre.<br />
Basic but comfortable. Q 12 rooms (singles €60, doubles<br />
€90). PTYJA6UILEGBKXW<br />
Grand D-1, Muhameda ef. Pandže 7, tel. (+387)<br />
33 56 31 00, fax (+387) 33 56 32 00, hotelgrand@<br />
hotelgrand.com, www.hotelgrand.com. A less than<br />
inspirational-looking place on the hill behind the train station,<br />
at first glance it appears a bit behind the times - much like<br />
the photo of a Concorde hanging in the lobby. But we give<br />
it credit: the service and accommodation are first rate,<br />
and they somehow managed to secure the domain name<br />
hotelgrand.com, which has to count for something. Also, if<br />
you’re staying over the weekend there’s a 99% chance of<br />
seeing a wedding party downstairs - crashing it is entirely up<br />
to you and we take no responsibility for the consequences. Q<br />
132 rooms (singles €61-76, doubles €95-116, suites €125).<br />

Safir Jagodića 3, tel. (+387) 33 47 50 40, info@<br />
hotelsafir.ba, www.hotelsafir.ba. Down a quiet alley<br />
only a few minutes’ walk from Baščaršija, Safir is great<br />
option for budget-conscious business travellers in town<br />
for longer stays. <strong>In</strong> a modern building with touches of<br />
traditional Bosnian architecture, each their eight rooms<br />
is ‘apartment type’, which essentially means a standard<br />
double with the addition of a good-sized kitchenette.<br />
Although the brochure and website mention conference<br />
facilities, the room in question is quite small and would<br />
perhaps be suitable for meetings at best. Q 8 rooms<br />
(singles €50, doubles €72).<br />
Unica B-3, Hamdije Kresevljakovica 42, tel. (+387)<br />

At last. Just what Sarajevo needed. Eight<br />
double rooms and eight single rooms in a well-designed,<br />
tasteful hotel bang in the middle of Sarajevo, with multilingual<br />
staff and a nice cocktail bar thrown in. The rooms<br />
are comfortable with wi-fi connections, flat-screen TVs<br />
and great beds. It’s about to become the most popular<br />
hotel in town. Q 16 rooms (singles €75, doubles €100).<br />

Vila Wien B-4, Vladislava Skarica 3, tel. (+387) 33<br />
23 28 55, fax (+387) 33 23 28 60, europa-garni@<br />
smartnet.ba, www.europa-garni.ba. This is a small<br />
and cosy separate wing of the Europa Garni, with six<br />
nice but small and newly-renovated rooms in the heart<br />
of the old Town. Q 6 rooms (singles €70, doubles €80).<br />

Villa Orient B-4, Oprkanj 6, tel. (+387) 33 23 27 02,<br />
fax (+387) 33 44 10 44, orient@bih.net.ba, www.<br />
hotel-villa-orient.com. The downside is that for what it<br />
costs - about €100 per night - the Vila Orient offers rather<br />
small rooms which are slightly featureless. The upside is that<br />
it is entirely central, right in the middle of Baščaršija, without<br />
being too noisy. Q 19 rooms (singles €75, doubles €100).<br />
