Moskva Motel

Banja Luka


One of a few motels that are within walking distance from the city centre, Moskva's attempts at cute floral decor sometimes spill towards kitsch, but the place is clean, spacious and fair value, with a simple breakfast included in the rates. Three rooms have balconies while the nouveau-riche 'Valentine suite' has a round bed and Jacuzzi corner-bath.
