This was my first time to Sarajevo and to keep costs down, I wanted to stay within walking distance to the airport. The hotel Merona is only 1.5 miles walking distance and took me 30 minutes with my backpack. The hotel was not easy to find as it only has a small sign on the building out front. It's a little funky in that the hotel is on the third floor of a shared building complex. You enter an elevator on the ground floor and ride to the hotel lobby. The hotel hallway and rooms were beautiful and the service was great! Breakfast was included and they served a hot breakfast, no buffet, as food was made to order. The hotel is not near the main center of old town so I walked less than a quarter of a mile to a tram stop and rode the tram into town. Some of the trams were nice but most were old, smelly, and in need of cleaning and repair. However, it took less than 30 minutes to reach the far end of old town and made for a nice adventure. All-in-all I was very pleased with the hotel and service. If you're looking to be near shops and cafes, this is not the place for you to stay as the hotel really isn't located near much of anything.
