Reviews of Tower House

the owners are wonderful

Everything was amazing, really nice host who helped alot and guided with map where to go, with tips what and where to go, see worthy things and tips for tours around sarajevo.

Nothing, everything was easy and great, we got ckeys so we could come and go as we wished.

The location is central, though prepare to walk uphill. Parking is available inside, but the cars are parked one after another in an inside "hill". If one wants to leave from the back, all the others need to go out. The parking entrance is also extremely narrow, with our Opel astra we had only a couple centimetres on each side left - so some skills are required. Wider cars won't fit. In general, we put rating 8 due to the low price and low expectations. If you have high expectations, this place might not be for you.

The room was super tiny, we struggled even to open our suitcase inside. It is not obvious from the pictures. The bathroom, which should be private for the room(though outside of the room-external), could be actually used by other guests too - though it was not during our stay. The host advised that the amount of the warm water is limited as the other room uses the same boiler, but we had no issues during our stay.

It’s a hostel - nothing less and nothing more, and for a hostel it’s great. Third time there as it’s very convenient for us and very cheap for this location.

Stale bread in the cupboard :)

Best place to stay in Sarajevo! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was super kind and you can reach the city center in 10 minutes on foot. Top!

Friendly and informative hosts, they were great at communicating and were very flexible with us checking in a bit earlier. The place was clean and in a great location walking distance from the old town. However, keep in mind that the walk from town to the accommodation is quite a steep hill. We had a lovely stay and had zero complaints, would recommend. :)

Well.. the staff knows english very well and looks friendly at first. At least when you talk with him at the moment. He helped us park the car inside, so it was stalled protected. And it is nice to talk with the owner (staff) about things like the cities history and the current political situation. The room itself is passable, which fits the price we would originally pay for the room.

However, later I understood from my partner the situation the owner put us in. We arrived a bit after the requested check-in time, we told by message we could be later because of traffic. There was no respond to this, so we assumed it was fine. Once we arrived a bit after midnight the staff was still present and the room was still there. Yet, they told us the room was gone. Basically saying we can't get the room unless we pay double fee. Under the risk of sleeping in freezing temperatures outside in the car. My partner paid this, to prevent sleeping outside. But for me this was an unfair move, in which the owner took advantage of the minor delay we had to earn double for the room. The same room basically got sold twice to us.. In other words, we feel the owner abused the situation. Which, together with the other experiences in this city, make us never come here again. Bottomline; if you are 100% sure you can be there on time within the check-in time, perhaps this is a good budget-friendly place to you. If you aren't sure, I advice to choose another place. You can expect this location rejects you if you arrive after the check-in time, or charges you for it.

The host was very informative, and helpful. The room was very clean, the free parking was great. The location is a little further and on a hill, but it is walking distance from the center.

There was no AC in the room and the shower system was a bit unusual, worked well though.

Merkeze uzak ve yokuşlu.

Centrally located, with a pleasant and knowledgeable owners, who never hesitate to answer questions and fill you in on the history, culture, and politics of the country or provide tips and recommendations.

wi-fi works in the central areas but not in more remote rooms

The hotel is located in an awesome part of Sarajevo, which is very historic, dating back to the Ottomans, but quiet and not overcrowded. The Austrian-style tourist city centre with all the shops and museums is within a short walk downhill. The hotel boasts a splendid common room (photo attached) with a kitchen where the guests can prepare meals. There are several parking lots for the guests within the hotel’s gates, though we didn’t use one as we weren’t travelling by car. The owners are very nice, it was a pleasure to learn from them about the culture and history of Bosnia and Yugoslavia in general. Definitely recommend.

The owner and his family are very kind, great location close to historical center of Prizren

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I had an amazing stay recently, thanks to a wonderful host who made my trip truly exceptional. Their extensive knowledge of the area added a unique touch to my experience, as they provided invaluable insights and recommendations for exploring local attractions. The check-in process was seamless and well-organized, setting a positive tone from the start. The host's attention to detail and communication skills made settling in a breeze. The location was a highlight, conveniently close to major attractions. This proximity allowed me to maximize my time and enjoy the city's highlights without wasting any moment. The accommodations were comfortable and inviting, reflecting the host's commitment to creating a pleasant environment for guests. Overall, my stay was made memorable by the informative host, easy check-in, and prime location. I highly recommend this place for a delightful and convenient travel experience. Looking forward to returning soon!

Be sure to double-check your route when heading to the Tower House, as it might be a bit challenging to find if using GPS navigation.

parking and location is fine, owner is a talkative and friendly guy

outdoor kitchen without any suplies, shaddy rooms

The place is clean. It is close to the center.

The parking situation is not ideal: first of all there is a height barrier of approximately 2.2m which is not indicated (and also doesn‘t seem that way looking at the pictures). Secondly all guests park single file, so there is a lot of re-parking to be done whenever someone has to leave. We ended up not being able to park here even though we picked it specifically for on-site parking; we had to street park (at a place which the owner deemed safe) and had our van broken into.

I had a really nice trip into the tower hotel. The owner was really nice and helpful. The place was clean and comfortable, and the location really great, next to the old city and to the better coffee of Sarajevo!

The owner was so kind and talkative!!

There was no air conditioner in the room.

Super friendly host, very good location close to town. Well worth the price!!!

Wifi was not great, but still good enough. No AC in room
