Hotel Telal

I actually made booking with Hotel Plaza who informed they will assign us to another hotel, Irmak. I paid in Plaza 35eur/night during SFF which was already a great deal. Seems Irmak is higher star rating (not sure) but regular price of mostly 80eur would feel wrong. Rooms are quitw tiny, not much sunlight. Bathroom main light didnt work. Toilet seat broken. Shower head broken. Glass shelf in front of bathroom mirror broken. No shelves for clothes. So, if i paid 80eur, i would be quite disappointed. Paying 35 felt just right. Place was clean, bed nice, hot water. There is parking in small alley in front, yes, it is public but safe, staff moves cars per need. I didnt book bfast as i wanted to check it out first. It wasnt bad (even though not close to Turkish bfast style you would expect since the GH is ran by Turkish ppl) but we agreed to pay 3eur instead of 5eur, so okay. One day they didnt serve any veggies and fruits for bfast, so i kindly asked for some, they ran to local shop and brought it. Staff at the reception a bit ambiguous for non Turkish guests, there was one nice local guy speaking local and other languages. All in all, place is okay, but not worth more than 50eur/night. Yeah, location is spectacular, minute from Bascarsija

I don't know for the other rooms but my room (street side) was so noisy that I couldn't sleep whole night long, even after I closed all windows (no air condition). I heard every car that passed over the manholes. The bathroom is so small that you can not turn around, and toilette was very smelly and without toilette paper. Floor carpet is dirty, whole room smell like toilette, there is no table in the room, you have to put your things on the floor, parking is not real parking but very narrow street where you have to park your car behind other cars and you have to give the key of the car to staff that they can move your car if someone want to get out with his car. I do not recommend this hotel which is everything but not hotel.

I came here with my brother and we had a fantastic stay! Yaşar & the Hotel Irmak family were so welcoming & helpful. The room was clean with comfortable beds and a private bathroom. We weren’t there to watch tv- we were there to explore Old Town (which was literally 4 minutes walk from the hotel). There is also a lovely FREE Turkish breakfast provided in the morning. We brought a rented car & were able to park there no problem. You can also find coffee, tea, WiFi and maybe even some new friends in the reception lounge. Highly recommend staying here & will definitely be back in my next trip to Sarajevo. Thank you so much // Çok Teşekkürler!!
