Hotel Talija

The hotel well placed but the 5 star experience is not there, should be equal to 3 stars maybe. The breakfast is not specially impresive ,fried eggs most probably prepered the days before ,no bacon or equal to go with it. Second morning we didnt bother to eat there at all tried another place . Third morning we did a mix and got our on bread from the baker on the mainstreet . One big plus was the reception staff that were very helpful .

I read many reviews of this small hotel that it has an exaggerated number of stars. I don't look at the stars. My wish is for the hotel to be comfortable, clean, friendly and locationally ok. This hotel has it all. First, the location. This one is exceptional, in the center of Banjaluka, with many bars, shops, alleys and sights in the immediate vicinity. The staff is excellent, unobtrusive but friendly and willing to cooperate. I had a room in the new part and it was great. Big, clean, comfortable bed, TV with many channels, including sports (who actually watches TV in a hotel?), bathroom spacious, clean. In short, great. On the fourth floor there is a fitness center, a sauna and a swimming pool. Unfortunately I didn't use this part, but it looked great. Breakfast perfect. Some here complain that it is not adequate. I wonder what is missing. Some disadvantages, however: there is no iron (there is a laundry service, but for a minimal fee), there are no bath robes and slippers for swimming in the pool, maybe some another details. Banja Luka is a wonderful city with extraordinary people. Visit it and if your journey takes you here, stay at Hotel Talija. For EUR 70 per night, you get what you get in larger western cities for EUR 200 and more. I'll be back, for sure. PS: suitable for disabled people, suitable for families
