Well a lot of people like to be by themselves in the room. For those
who don't want to be alone or want to get it cheaper maybe have an
"Find a roommate" in Penta?

Yes, I would suggest we use every single room we could get.

Palas even had 4 bedded rooms, but said that would be too much.
They won't be with unknown people, all these rooms will be ours and
we'll be the ones putting who's going to be in those rooms.

I agree, just so you know besides these three we have another 3 hotels
in our consideration, so we could check these other three as well.

Yes, Bosna has coule of presidential apartments, same thing with
government building. Where they have couple of presidential apartments
as well, that were built to be used in case sheiks or someone else was
in city, but President offered them to us in case we need to
accommodate someone who wants luxury and stuff.
