ibis Styles Sarajevo

ibis Styles Sarajevo

8/10 Good
"Finding the hotel by car is easy, part of the building is 15 floors high and the Ibis logo at the top. Good reception, lobby has swings in it for seats and the odd theme is carried out further in the room with the decor being a blackened end to the room looking as if it has not been painted or is being repaired. Possible reference to the resurgence after the civil war? The room was very clean. The car park is behind the hotel and can be crowded when functions are on. The hotel also has coach parties who seem to be catered for in the lower section of the hotel. We were on the 11th floor of the tower block with great views of the surrounding mountains. Restaurant was huge for breakfast and food choice very large. Good location for visiting the old town. Public car parks are close to the old town."
