Hotel President

Hotel President is a four-star hotel at Bazardžani 1, on a street in the old bazaar of Baščaršija in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Sebilj fountain, the symbolic centre of the Old Town, is nearby, and the Sarajevo Brewery, one of the city's best-known historic buildings, stands a short walk away. The Latin Bridge, Sarači street and the Vijećnica are all reachable on foot in a few minutes, and the area is mostly pedestrian, so visitors typically arrive by taxi to the edge of the bazaar and walk the final stretch. The setting places guests among the Ottoman-era mosques, caravanserai-style courtyards and craft workshops that define the quarter. Accommodation consists of Double Rooms and Superior Rooms with air conditioning and wifi, a compact choice that suits couples and independent travellers rather than large groups. A restaurant is available, and the bazaar around the hotel offers many options for Bosnian dishes such as cevapi, burek, and sweets like baklava and tufahija, along with Bosnian coffee served in copper džezva pots. There are no spa or pool facilities, so the stay is oriented toward sightseeing on foot. Service is straightforward and leisure-focused, and the front desk can usually help with transfers, day trips to Mostar and the Tunnel of Hope, and local recommendations. Prices typically range from about 180 to 350 KM per night, which positions the hotel as a mid-to-upper choice in the old centre. The old bazaar stays animated into the evening, so guests sensitive to noise may wish to ask about quieter rooms facing away from the street. Early mornings, before shops open, are an excellent time to see the quarter at its calmest.
