Hotel Astra

Hotel Astra is a small central hotel of about 19 rooms at Zelenih beretki 9 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The street runs between Ferhadija and the Latin Bridge, which puts the hotel about two minutes on foot from both, and a few more minutes from the Baščaršija bazaar, the Sebilj fountain and the Miljacka riverfront. The location is one of the most convenient in the city for visitors who want to walk to museums, cafes and restaurants, and it also places the property in the part of the centre where Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Sarajevo meet. The hotel is in the mid-range category and offers a modest, friendly style rather than the formality of the larger luxury properties. Rooms are listed as Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, which makes the hotel suitable for solo travellers, couples and friends travelling together. Wifi and air conditioning are provided, and breakfast is listed among the amenities. No restaurant, spa, pool or fitness centre is listed, so guests usually eat in the surrounding streets, where cafes, bakeries and grill houses are within a short walk. With only around 19 rooms the atmosphere is personal, and the staff can usually help with local advice, such as how to reach the Tunnel of Hope, the Vrelo Bosne springs or the mountains around the city. The location can be lively in the evening, particularly in summer, so guests who prefer quiet nights may wish to request a room away from the street. The hotel suits short city breaks and budget-conscious visitors who value position over extensive facilities. Typical rates run from about 150 to 260 KM per night (roughly $84-146). It can be contacted on +387 33 252 100 and has a website at hotelastra.ba.
