Property information

Residence Mahala offers a boutique stay just a few minutes from Sarajevo’s Old Town, where most of the city’s main attractions are found. Our property combines the charm of a quiet mahala neighborhood with modern comfort and elegant design. We offer two spacious two-bedroom apartments and five comfortable rooms, each with its own private bathroom and air conditioning. Guests staying in our two-bedroom apartments enjoy free parking in our private garage, which is locked and under constant video surveillance (one parking space per apartment). Please note that parking is not guaranteed for the rooms. On the ground floor, guests can use a shared kitchen and a cozy lobby area ideal for light breakfast, a cup of coffee or simply relaxing. Our second floor boutique lounge offers a beautiful view, a coffee machine, and board games, perfect for socializing or unwinding after exploring Sarajevo.

Neighbourhood information

Even though our property is just a few minutes from the town center, it is perfectly positioned in a peaceful area, away from city noise — the only sounds you’ll hear are birds singing, allowing every guest to enjoy a quality rest. Residence Mahala is tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering privacy, safety, and a true sense of calm, with almost no passing traffic — ideal for a relaxing. Just a few minutes’ walk from our property, you’ll find Baščaršija, the heart of Sarajevo and home to all the main tourist attractions. Staying with us, you’ll also get to experience the true spirit of a Sarajevo mahala (traditional neighborhood) — the charm of narrow streets, local life, and authentic Bosnian warmth.
