The owner, Igor, is very welcoming and has plenty of great reccomendations to share. He also has plenty of stories and it would be a missed experience not having a proper chat with him. There is always toilet paper in the bathroom and there is a bidet.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was wonderful, conformable, very clean, spacious, great location, easily access and safe. We were family of 5 adult and one child. AC was only in the dining room, but the apartment was at high floor, so it was good.

    The staff is super friendly and welcoming, Ivan which I guess is the manager does his job perfectly, the environment is chill but at the same time very involving. I’ve been in the hostel a few times because I’ve been volunteering in a place nearby and I can assure it’s the best hostel for backpackers in Sarajevo. Also the position can’t be more central.

    So, where do I start? I am a backpacker who have been to 84 countries so far and this was one of the best hostels I ever had stayed in. Igor is a really cool host, the place is very friendly, it’s so clean and fresh, perfect location, even a “indoor” balcony where you can sit watch people walk on the street. There’s small mirrors in each bed for your morning routine, there’s small pockets for your important belongings. The bed are comfortable and you create your own space with curtains. Highly recommended!

    Great location, next to the market area and old city. Also close to the cable railway that takes you up the mountains, great sight. Very cheap. Sufficiently private. Friendly staff, feels quite safe and relaxing. Lots of cheap restaurants nearby, and lovely ones. A bit of noise in the evening which is to be expected in such a lively area, not really a problem and doesn't go on all night.

    Everything was great. Especially the price was super cheap and the facilities were excellent. Got locker, got TV, got AC, got towel and the beds were not the bunk beds, they're all single bed. So you won't easily get disturb while sleeping. The toilet and bathroom are inside the room. It feels like a hotel instead of hostel. And miss Amra the receptionist was also very helpful and can speak english very well. And the location was not that far from the old town and other important city attractions.
