Hotel Stari Grad

Guests praise the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, with special mention of Kerima and Dino. The central location near attractions and amenities is highly appreciated for its convenience.

We visited Restoran Stari grad based on a local’s recommendation, and it turned out to be the highlight of our culinary experience. The waiter suggested we try the traditional Bosanski lonac (Bosnian pot), and it was absolutely phenomenal — rich, hearty, and full of flavor, served in a beautiful clay pot that kept it warm to the last spoonful. The service was fast and friendly; we waited less than 10 minutes for our meal, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The ambiance is charming, with a warm, rustic interior that evokes a sense of home and tradition. One of the most fascinating features of the restaurant is the glass floor section, revealing an actual archaeological site beneath. Dining above ancient stone ruins was an unforgettable experience and added a unique historical dimension to our visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Bosnian cuisine in a setting that bridges past and present. We will definitely be back!

I stayed here as a solo traveller in 2023. This hotel was recommended by my guide book, and it looks like it is one of only hotels actually located within Old Town. As a result, the location is excellent. The hotel has a very nice rustic old charm to it (although my understanding is that it is not an old hotel). Many reviews commented on the small rooms, and that is true, however there is ample storage space in the closet. Breakfast is included with your stay, and I felt that it was on par with other 3-star hotels I stayed in in Bosnia and Herzegovina (boiled egg, yoghurt, bread, pastries, cold cut meat, cheese, etc.). What really made the stay excellent was the hotel staff (specifically Dino). I can tell Dino tries to create a hostel-type vibe by making the common area inviting.
