The hotel was a short walk from the airport. When we arrived there, we were hungry, so we ordered a spaghetti with chicken, which was delicious. The room was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. Breakfast was simple, but tasty. The staff was very polite and eager to help.

We just stayed a night as it was close to the airport and we were catching a flight the next day. The staff were very good to us, helpful and very accommodating. It is literally walking distance -5minutes - rolling our small suitcases to the airport. Has a elaborate traditional furniture lounge and breakfast area.

Perfect hotel for catching that morning flight
Octagon hotel is clean, comfortable, and great value for money. If you have a morning flight then it's really your best choice as it's a five minute at most walk from the hotel to the Sarajevo airport. And the pizza restaurant down the street and around the corner is superb!

Great place to stay
We chose the hotel due to it's proximity to the Sarajevo airport and previous positive reviews. It was only a 5 minute walk from the terminal and it couldn't have been easier after a long overnight journey. The rooms were clean, the service great, and the beds comfortable. Just tucked into a residential area for a quiet stay as well. Fast, reliable Wi-Fi and a great breakfast in the morning. Would stay there again for sure.

wonderful place close to airport
We arrived late but was able to walk to the hotel from the airport. Just a short 10 minute walk. We found our room to be wonderful. The whole motel feels very Turkish with oriental rugs in the hallway. Breakfast was fine and the service was wonderful. So glad we stayed there as was so close to the airport. Very convenient and wonderful staff.
Thank You very much... It was our pleasure to see You here. We hope You will come again. Best regards, Hotel Octagon

A real nice hotel with friendly english speaking staff! The landlady was kind enough to take me to 2 hour city tour with her own car. Taxi to the centre would be around 10 euros. The airport is 5 minutes walk away. Covenient both when you arrive or leave the town. Next time again!

Location gives the hotel a big ego
We waited 10 minutes outside the hotel for someone to open the door as it was locked. My mom went around the corner to see if there was a different way of getting in. We were thinking of looking for another hotel when finally the receptionist opened the door. Hotel has a nice historic feel but it was dead silent which wasnt very inviting for a lobby setting. The rooms were great but would have loved some shampoo and conditioner to be provided instead of a used bottle of liquid hand soap in the shower. Not something you would want to pay so much money for. The bed was way too soft for my liking so I didnt get any sleep which I needed as it was the last night before my 10 hour flight back home. I recommend you bring snacks to the hotel as there was barely any food abailable for breakfast. It wasn't eaten... There just wasnt any options to choose from. But loved the safe locked gate to park your car, as we rented a car during our trip and didnt want anything to happen to it. It's 5min walking to the airport but I rather give up the short distance for some more food, real shampoo, and faster service at the door. I stayed at much cheaper and better hotels. I won't be coming back. Not worth the big bucks.

Perfect location close to Airport
My wife and I had early flight and this was perfect location. We stayed there 2 nights. Hotel itself was nice but staff was extremely helpful and polite. Everyone spoke good English. And the receptionist spent an extra 20 minutes helping us with bus and trolley information. Even gave us a reliable taxi number in case we got lost. Great experience.

unique decor, clean hotel, friendly staff
The staff here went to great lengths to be extra helpful. Really friendly. The furniture in the rooms and around the hotel seems to have been chosen with great care. Very nice effect. Very clean. Breakfast is basic, but fine. Can walk to airport in 5 minutes; tunnel museum in general area (short cab ride, or about 45 minute pleasant walk since you have to walk around edge of airport); 3 min. walk to bus that goes towards city centre; pleasant 25 min. walk to tram that goes right to city centre and the main attractions.

Octagon Hotel
This is an excellent hotel, privately owned and only about 3 years old. It's very close to the airport, only 5 minutes walk. As advertised, it's ideal for business travelers, and for late arrivals or early departures. My family and I stayed there because of our early departure. The room rate is very reasonable. The hotel probably has no more than 10 rooms and it does have a restaurant. Unfortunately, it does not have enough guests (we were the only family stayed there that night), so the restaurant is virtually non-functioning. It does serve free breakfast. The hotel had only one staff member. She had to be at the front desk and take care of all other chores. She was very friendly and helpful. Another shortcoming is that it is away from the city (old town and all other attractions) and requires a car or taxi to go to downtown to have a good meal or to see the sights. So the hotel is definitely not for a family on vacation, but I definitely recommend it for those who wants a nice and comfortable room to a short stay near the airport.

Nært til flyplassen. 300 m å gå.
Gangavstand til flyplassen var perfekt. Kun en smal dyne til dobbeltseng? Fikk ekstra dyne men ikke dynetrekk. Forøvrig meget behagelig seng. Rent hotell og god frokost. Som vanlig på Balkan er ikke stjerner, rating og pris i forhold til hverandre. Dette er knapt tre stjerner og en svak 4. Passer dog utmerket til Norwegians sene ankomst etter at bilutleie firmaene har stengt for kvelden. Spaserte bort til flyplassen og hentet leiebilen etter frokost.
