About
Hotel Hayat
Hotel Hayat sits in the heart of Sarajevo, just 650 metres from Ferhadija Pedestrian Street and a five-minute stroll to Baščaršija, the city's historic bazaar quarter. The 3-star property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi throughout, a private parking garage, and a smoke-free environment. For those arriving by air, a paid shuttle service can be arranged.
Rooms range from singles to a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony, all with heating and most with air conditioning. The hotel includes a restaurant, bar, and a garden area, plus meeting facilities. With a 24-hour reception and luggage storage, it's a practical base for exploring the old town.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Right next to the old town — Baščaršija is a five-minute walk, and the Ferhadija pedestrian street is under a kilometre away. Guests can reach major sights on foot.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Multiple guests highlight the team as kind, cheerful, and ready to assist with taxis and local advice.
- Practical on-site parking — A private parking garage is available, a genuine benefit in Sarajevo's old town where street parking is scarce.
- Clean and comfortable rooms — Several reviews call out cleanliness and the modern, simple décor, with heating and most rooms offering air conditioning.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities and comfort — Facilities score is the lowest at 5.1, and comfort sits at 6.0, suggesting the property is functional rather than luxurious.
- Mixed value perception — Value rates 7.0, and one guest found the taxi arranged by the hotel expensive. Breakfast is described as simple, not extensive.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
- Compact room sizes — One review notes that rooms were 'not smaller' (i.e., adequate), but the range includes economy options that may be tight for some.
