Hostel Balkan Han, hotel in Sarajevo

Hostel Balkan Han has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Sarajevo. Located around 1.1 km from Sebilj Fountain, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.1 km away from Bascarsija Street.

The hostel is in a great location, super close to the city center. The beds were comfortable, they had curtains, and the rooms had lockers. There was a lovely garden where you could chill or socialize. There is also another common area by the reception that is excellent if you want to do a bit of work or just be on your own. It has a well-equiped kitchen, although small. The staff was kind and the owner very thoughtful. He offered me to change rooms when one of the other guests in my room got sick. They have a laundry service, although I didn't use it because I thought it was quite expensive (10 euros).

The Good Place Hostel, hotel in Sarajevo

The Good Place Hostel is set 600 metres from Latin bridge, 1.9 km from Sebilj Fountain and 800 metres from Bascarsija Street.

Good small hostel, run with warmth. The beds are great with comfortable mattresses & their own curtains. As everyone says, Igor is what makes it special... he is a Sarajevan so he can advise you on anything local, & if you return in the evening shellshocked from one of the harrowing war museums, he is usually on hand with a rakija & conversation. There's a sitting area where you can meet other travellers.(I'd suggest closing the sitting area at 11pm or midnight, everyone will sleep better & Igor will have fewer late checkouts ;D) Be careful when opening the heavy entrance door downstairs, it's easy to pinch your fingers.

This hostel was really comfortable! Super clean, felt brand new, and had a really relaxed vibe. The location was perfect, just a few steps from all the main attractions. The host was fantastic, super friendly and always ready to help. Plus, the fully equipped kitchen was a huge bonus...I booked a room for females only and I definitely will come back

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.

    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.

    I got a double bed instead of a normal bunk bed! The hostel is beautifully decorated. A lot of common spaces, very cozy. Lovely garden, cheap beer, sociable people. Staffs are very friendly. I didn't have enough cash when I checked in, but they allowed me to pay later.
