Manglende Aircondition?

Jeg havde eget værelse med dobbeltseng under mit ophold her. Værelset var fint møbleret med skab, 2 stole og et lille bord. Det eneste og måske vigtigste der dog manglede var Aircondition! Der blev meget varmt på værelset og derfor kun 4 stjerner. Rigtig godt køkken og badefaciliteter på dette hostel. Beliggenheden af hostel i en stille sidegade midt i Sarajevo er også et stort plus.

Rahat temiz iyi konumda kolay bulunur

Otel resimlerde göründüğü gibi lüks değil fakat bu sizi rahatsız etmiyor, yatakları rahat genel olarak temiz bir yer. Başçarşıya çok yakın olması büyük artı. Personel ingilizce biliyor ve çok yardımcı oluyorlar. Hepsine teşekkür ederim. Benim sıkıntı yaşadığım tek nokta terlik olmaması, umumi terlikler var ama içime sinmedi kullanmak o kadar dolaştım banyo için terlik de bulamadım giderken yanınıza almanızı tavsiye ederim.
