This new hotel, in a sympathetically restored building, may well indeed bring a smile to your lips. Many of the 300-year-old building's original carved woodwork features have been retained including wooden sinks and beds, but modern facilities abound. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the bazaar and downstairs is a patisserie full of diet-busting treats. Free parking.
It's in the same block but behind the Hotel Čaršija e Jupave.
