Right in the the center of the city, 2mins from the eternal flame. The staff was great and the facilities were clean and tidy.
The place has a garden area... read more with couches and enough space for socialising or just hanging out. Even if your me-time there is plenty of places to retreat.
The crowed was hilarious, i met so many different people and we had the greatest time.
Shoutout to Ivan (manager) and Ahmed, from the moment of my arrival i felt at home and welcome. The people there are great
This hostel is one of the best i've ever stayed in.
Keep up the good work and stay the way you are.

The hostel itself was great with very friendly and helpful staff, I would definitely stay there again! The kitchen was well-equipped and the garden patio was nice to chill out at and meet other travellers. The shared rooms were tidy and spacious, and the bathrooms were clean with good showers.

The best hostel we stayed at in the Balkans. Great location in the heart of Sarajevo, which is such an incredible city. Decent bar area showing football and a nice... read more garden. Rooms have everything you need, shower facilities are fine.
The main draw of this hostel are the owners and the tour. I HIGHLY recommend it, again it's great value for money and takes you to places in the hills around Sarajevo where you wouldn't be able to get to. The tour tells you about the seige of Sarajevo and you hear horrific but important stories. Ivan is a legend and his passion and emotion really comes through in this tour, all of our hearts go out to the Bosnian people after what they went through. An incredible experience which I'll never forget.
