Hotel berhampiran Vlakić Ćiro, Mostar

This hotel is at a very central location, convenient to get to both the Old Town and train station. The room is very clean and modern, my biggest complaint is that the curtain is not blackout, so for someone sensitive to light like myself struggle to sleep well, this does seem to be quite common in BiH though to use non-blackout curtain. The breakfast at this hotel is decent with a handful of choices, what I enjoyed most is the swimming pool and the sauna in the basement, despite it is a small boutique hotel, so it was never crowded due to the small number of rooms here. PS: This hotel is on the Muslim side of Mostar, so alcohol is banned.

+ Good location - 10 minutes walk to the bus station, 15 minutes to the Old Bridge. Nice staff, great selection of delicious food for breakfast, which you can eat with a wonderful mountain views. There was a fridge in the room, the shower and toilet worked flawlessly, no problems with temperature and air condition. - Unfortunately, there was really weak wi-fi in room 410, I had to use mobile internet. There was also a rather old TV with a 4:3 screen. Despite this, I was very pleased with my stay there and I would like to come again :)

We stayed here for three nights in mid/late September and I’d definitely recommend it for value and, most of all, it’s location. It’s on the main cobblestoned approach to the Stari Most - about two / three minute walk away. Staff were helpful and accommodating and allowed us to leave our bags prior to check in and after check out. Breakfast was traditional Herzegovinian. A very small dish of… EVERYTHING! - Sweet and savoury. Our room on the first floor was large and had a huge terrace. The only negatives were the decor, finishings and mattress quality of the bedroom could do with a little investment to bring them up to a contemporary standard. I’d have paid 10% more for that. Also, juice would have been good with breakfast.

This hotel is amazing. The service is superb; you couldn’t ask for more friendly and attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the local area and best places to visit. The location is right in the heart of Mostar near to the bridge and old town and the bedrooms were great quality and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was also amazing with a buffet of hot food, cold continental food, fruit and local baklava style pastries. It was easy to fill up sufficiently to not need lunch! I couldn’t recommend the hotel enough though we were slightly disappointed with the evening meal we had on the first night. It was only when we later compared the meal to what we could have received elsewhere we realised that, despite being nice food, seemed over priced as we didn’t get a lot of the main course to eat. It did include starter, dessert and a coffee and liqueur so overall not bad value, but would have preferred to order al a carte and not set as we wouldn’t have bothered with half of what was included. We were offered the set menu at €25 - €28 each which was cooked under a dome in a traditional Bosnian fashion. They offered it in beef, veal, chicken or fish and, as there were four of us, the waiter suggested we have one of each and share. This sounded like a good idea except the meat portions were so small they were physically difficult to quarter. The fish was a better portion size as it was a whole fish. It came with slow cooked potatoes, peppers, aubergines etc which was delicious but I don’t think we got a portion which was four times the size had we have ordered just one. The starter was a fairly basic salad which was nice but the sharing platter was presented before we’d finished it so felt somewhat rushed. We actually hadn’t finished our pre food drinks before the starter and wine was brought out too. The dessert plates were all different traditional pastries which were just given to us (no selection involved). They were nice and we shared them as much as we could. This is in total contrast to the rest of the hotel experience, I’d just recommend staying here and eating out somewhere else.

Amazing rooms, location and staff - Thank you! We visited Mostar from the UK on Thursday 14th December. Triple room, number 115 was amazing for 3 x adults… Staff was really nice, breakfast included and we had the bonus of a swimming pool… For the tourists, it was a 6 minute walk to the famous old bridge… Cracking place and nice people - thank you all
