Kod Keme Guesthouse

Kod Keme Guesthouse

Kod Keme Guesthouse wasn’t the first place we stayed in Sarajevo, but I wish we’d found it sooner. In contrast to our first place of accommodation, Kod Keme had a fantastic location, was good value for money, spotlessly clean and the owner was helpful and friendly.

The entrance is beneath a bright yellow sign that hangs out above Mali Ćurčiluk Street, just steps from the cobbled streets and low-roofed ottoman houses of Baščaršija. Upon ringing the bell the owner will probably call out to you from one of the upper floor windows and then come down to talk to you at the entrance.

We were shown to the largest room on the ground floor, which was one of the smallest large rooms I’ve ever seen, but still more than adequate for our needs. And at only 10KM more than we’d been paying for a cold and dodgy room out in the suburbs, it seemed like excellent value. The bathroom and toilet were attached to the room, there was a television, table and chairs and a cupboard to hang our clothes in if we’d had anything worth hanging. The heating was more than enough for the space and we actually had to turn it down after a while.

We never found out the owner’s name, but she was very helpful and having lived in Australia for ten years, spoke English fluently. The willingness to share a little local knowledge is always a wonderful attribute in any accommodation management or staff and, again in contrast to our other place of accommodation, we were able made good use of it here. We’d specifically been hoping to have big meal of Roast Lamb before leaving the Balkans, but were having trouble finding it, because it was out of season. The owner of Kod Keme was able to recommend a place that she knew had it for certain, as she’d eaten there the previous night. That fact that it was run by her husband and shared the same name as the guesthouse, Kod Keme (At Kem’s) made us expect that it would be a well-run and good-value establishment, which is exactly what it turned out to be.

If you’re like me and location in the city is far more important than space to lounge around in your room, then I think Kod Keme is an excellent option. I hope to visit Sarajevo again sometime and this will be my first choice for accommodation.
