Hotel Idea was rated highly, and I could see why. It is quintessentially European as it is a refit of a very old building, and it is also 100% Balkan, within a cozy corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s second largest city. I am originally from this region and very much enjoyed authentic foods and nostalgic sights all within minutes of walking.

Good stay, great breakfast and free parking

Good 1 night stay. Very small rooms but modern design. Bathroom is tiny and no shower door so water gets everywhere. Excellent buffet breakfast in morning and free parking on-site. Hotel was very loud until late with construction and remodel. Employees were very friendly and helpful. Room is very small but comfortable and ac works great. 1 small window but no views.

Aus dem Abfluss im Bad hat es nicht sonderlich gut gerochen, was aber vermutlich einfach an den alten Rohren liegt. Sauber war es definitiv und wenn man ein Handtuch über den Abfluss im Bad gelegt hat, war das Geruchsproblem schon deutlich minimiert :). Das Hotel ist wirklich top, hat eine super Lage und auch das Frühstück war voll in Ordnung.

Το δωμάτιο που μείναμε ήταν καθαρό, αλλά ήταν το basic οπότε ήταν μικρό. Το προσωπικό ήταν πάρα πολύ φιλικό, ευγενικό και εξυπηρετικό. Το πρωινό είχε σχετική ποικιλία και ήταν καλό. Το κατάλυμα βρίσκεται σε καλό σημείο και εύκολα μπορείς να επισκεφτείς τα αξιοθέατα της πόλης με τα πόδια. Διαθέτει και χώρο στάθμευσης.

Great hotel fot the price!

Amazing stay! Great location, really nice room, clean with great service. Bed and chair really comfy! The the shampoo and shower gel are really well selected Great help from the staff, One of the best breakfast I had in an hotel, definitely take it as an extra if it's not already on your reservation The only problem could be the few moments I couldn't reach the wifi anymore, I was on the last floor but If I was close to the door it worked, that's how I discovered the comfy chair There's also couch and chair outside the rooms, I could work from there too probably.

There was no hot water in the morning and I had to wait for 1h tor it to heat up and I was in hurry. Staff told me that “this happens when hotel is full. “ Bathroom door handle fell off while I was entering bathroom. If it was other way around I would have locked myself inside a bathroom with no windows. It would not be possible to leave or even break door .... apart from this it is OK.

Hotel Ideja Review

Hotel is great and in a great location (about a ten minute walk to the center of the city). It is next to a mosque so you will sometimes get a wake up call and the walls are thin. Those are only small negatives in an overwhelmingly great place, I’d stay again.
