Hotel Sana

Hotel Sana is a mid-range hotel at Mula Mustafe Bašeskije 53, in the Old Town of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The street is named after the 18th-century Sarajevo chronicler Mula Mustafa Bašeskija, and it runs just off the main axis of Baščaršija. The Sebilj fountain and the start of Sarači are about 100 m away, and the Latin Bridge, the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and the Vijećnica are within a short walk, so most of the historic sights can be reached on foot in minutes. The surrounding area combines Ottoman-era lanes with Austro-Hungarian facades, and it is lively with cafés, bakeries and craft shops. The hotel is a compact, practical property rather than a luxury address, and it appeals to travellers who want a central position at a moderate price. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Family Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi, and breakfast is listed among the amenities. There is no spa, pool or fitness centre, and guests typically eat out in the neighbourhood, where Bosnian grills, burek shops and traditional coffee houses are plentiful. The family rooms make the hotel a workable choice for small groups and parents travelling with children. Service is simple and friendly, with reception staff able to give directions, arrange taxis and recommend day trips to Mostar, Travnik or the Tunnel of Hope. Prices typically range from about 130 to 240 KM per night, which represents good value for a position so close to the Sebilj. As in all Old Town properties, evening noise from the lanes can carry, so light sleepers may wish to request a room on an upper floor or away from the street. Steep hillside streets lead up from the area toward the Yellow Bastion and the old fortifications.
