THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED IN!! The owner - Igor is incredibly friendly and helpful. He creates a unique atmosphere in this place. You will feel like visiting old friends since the first second you enter the door. Everything is clean and the bed is very comfortable and private. All ladies will appreciate this - THERE IS A MIRROR IN YOUR BUNK BED! I was so happy about this detail. Rooms and bunk beds are spacious and there is enough space for your luggage, small belongings and movement. The common areas are very comfortable - honestly I spent 80% of my stay here because Igor has thousands of stories which you just want to listen to (ask him about helicopter) and also a lot of knowledge to re-brief with you after your walking tours. All of us staying in the hostel we became good friends and I believe is thanks to Igor and his way of managing this hostel. I really want to come back to Sarajevo just to stay here again :D

The property is on the third floor of a building next to a British phone booth (it used to be a bar but it's closed). Next to it are several pubs, a Viennese cafe, 2 museums, and a 24/7 supermarket (a bit overpriced but it works). There's practically 0 noise at night, you can't hear anything nearby, so you'll get a good sleep. Payment is in cash only, so you'll pay the owner of the hostel, Harun, who also mans the front desk. He will reach out to you via WhatsApp to discuss any details. Harun is a lovely host. He's been very helpful showing me around his place, which is spotlessly clean, well kept, with the sheets washed. Place looks really nice when the sun is up. There's a kitchen and laundry facility (for 7 EUR). There's also a common room. Location wise, put in "Tesla Pub" and walk there. It's 2 minutes from where the bus 200E drops you off from the airport, and you can go to the airport from there (Katedrala stop in Ferhadilija). Other hostels are either by the river (noisy!) or up the hills near Bascarsija (a big walk). This place has none of those.

Looking for a hostel?

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.

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!
