Hotel Libris Boutique

Hotel Libris Boutique is a three-star boutique hotel of about 31 rooms at Bentbaša 7, in the Bentbaša neighbourhood of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bentbaša lies a short walk east of Baščaršija beside the Miljacka river, at the foot of the hillside above the Old Town, and is known for its quieter streets, its views across the valley and the pedestrian riverside paths. Guests can walk to the Sebilj, the Latin Bridge and the main bazaar streets in a matter of minutes, while the neighbourhood itself offers a calmer atmosphere than the busy centre. Nearby landmarks include the Vijećnica, the Brewery and the old Ottoman bridges along the river, and the lookout points of the Yellow Bastion and the Vratnik fortifications can be reached on foot via steep lanes. The small size of the property gives it a boutique character, with a personal, guesthouse-like feel rather than the scale of a chain hotel. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Family Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi, and breakfast is included among the listed amenities. There is no spa or pool, and the hotel relies on the surrounding cafés and restaurants of the Old Town for dining. Service is friendly and informal, with staff who can recommend walking routes, restaurants and day trips, and the family rooms suit small groups and parents with children. Nightly rates typically fall between 110 and 210 KM, which is moderate for a position so close to the sights. The steep topography of Bentbaša means that some approaches involve slopes and stairs, so guests with heavy luggage may prefer to arrive by taxi to the door. The area is especially appealing at dusk, when the lights of the hillside homes come on above the river.
