The Kujundziluk is Mostar's 16th-century Ottoman bazaar street leading down to the Stari Most, its cobblestoned lane of craft shops selling copper ware, traditional jewellery, woven textiles, and Bosnian coffee sets in historic stone buildings that have been restored to their pre-war condition. The bazaar is the most complete surviving example of Ottoman commercial architecture in the western Balkans. Hotels in Mostar old town near the Kujundziluk provide the most atmospheric accommodation in this haunting and beautiful Herzegovinian city.
Our Picks — Mostar
Old Town — Kujundžiluk
A lovingly run boutique guesthouse in the heart of the Kujundžiluk bazaar, Villa Anri has stone rooms with hand-carved details, a terrace with direct views of Stari Most, and a level of personal hospitality that makes guests feel like house guests rather than customers. It regularly tops traveler rankings as the best small hotel in the city.
Crooked Bridge Area
Named after the Crooked Bridge — Stari Most's smaller cousin just upstream — this historic guesthouse sits directly on the Radobolja River with terraces that seem to float on the water. The converted Ottoman mill buildings, the sound of the rushing river, and the fireplace-lit dining room create an atmosphere unlike anything else in Bosnia.
Old Town
A thoughtfully restored stone guesthouse steps from Stari Most, Pellegrino has rooms with original limestone walls, wooden-beamed ceilings, and views from the upper floors directly onto the bridge's arch. The owner's collection of Ottoman antiques fills every corner, and the roof terrace at sunset is one of the great Balkan experiences.
New Town
The most business-oriented hotel in Mostar, Hotel City offers modern, well-equipped rooms in the new part of the city, making it the top choice for conference delegates and travelers who need reliability over atmosphere. The rooftop pool and panoramic bar with views back toward the minaret-dotted skyline of the Old Town are genuine highlights.
Old Town
One of the best-preserved 18th-century Ottoman houses in the Balkans, now operating as an extraordinary heritage guesthouse. The ornate musandera wooden screens, the central courtyard with its carved fountain, and the antique-furnished rooms create a time-travel experience that no modern hotel could replicate. A genuinely singular place to sleep in Europe.
Old Town
An intimate family-run guesthouse that offers excellent value in a prime Old Town location, with simple but well-appointed rooms, a terrace with partial bridge views, and the warmth of Bosnian hospitality that makes every guest feel genuinely welcome. The traditional Bosnian breakfast is a fine introduction to the country's food culture.
