Royal Apartmani

Four apartment units on Miloša Crnjanskog street make up Royal Apartmani, a self-catering base on Banja Luka's residential east side, away from the café noise of the Vrbas riverbank promenade — a fit for longer stays and travellers wanting a private kitchen over a hotel breakfast room.

Each unit is soundproofed and reached by stairs only, with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom rather than shared facilities. Contactless check-in and a 24-hour desk suit late arrivals.

Parking is on site, useful given the walk into the historic centre and Kastel fortress runs past fifteen minutes.
