    Great location, amazing price, good value for the price
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I guess it is time to replace the linen and, possibly, make some improvements in the bathroom and restroom, however it was fine for me considering the positives

    I stayed here for one night only and, must say, that even though there was a lot of negativity in the reviews, I experienced almost none. Yes, the bed linen is worn out, and so are the amenities, however, both location and price compensate for it with ease. I arrived late and had no chance to talk to the receptionist or owner at all, there was a note waiting for me with instructions. The Wi-Fi speed was decent. The room with 4 beds had power sockets on one side only, but it was easy to manage with other guests

    Unfortunately, the locker for my bed was missing its key, so I could not lock any valuables away. There was also no kitchen available here. I also thought that the bedclothes could have been cleaner.

    The location of this hostel is amazing. You walk out of your door and you are literally at the Old Bazar. The rooms were great. In a large room there were only four beds. While other hostels may have installed bunk-beds to fit in this room, this hostel made sure to prioritise their customers instead. The WiFi is very good. There were also sockets at every bed which was really helpful. I arrived in the city much earlier than check in time and the hostel was fine with holding my bags until check in time.

    The toilet on my floor was out of order and all guests had to use one shower and one toilet in the entire house on the second floor. Very inconvenient.

    Location was very central and convenient. Spacious attic room with 4 beds only but very basic. For the pay was OK.

    The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner with a better drainage system as it got a bit wet following a shower.

    The property was very close to the centre of the old town in Sarajevo (60 seconds walk) and the air conditioning was amazing which really made the hostel great value for money and very comfortable.

    1. Payment price did not match as stated on website but was still reasonable 2. No soap in the bathrooms 3. Smoking indoors is a thing in Bosnia

    The location is the best, you can hear the azan and walk to the nearest beautiful mosque in less than 5 mins. Comfortable and safe place to stay with nice people.

    It's a budget hostel, so you can expect different type of travelers from all around the globe will stay here especially when you book a shared room in a dorm. You may expect some drunk travelers who will make noise and completely out of their control publicly. The cleanliness of the toilet can ne further improved including the stagnant slowed water flow inside the shower drainage hole.

    The hostel located close to Pigeon Square at Barcarsija and within walking distance to the old town and access public transportation. The staff are helpful and very welcoming too.

    The mattress is soft and does not have a protection, only a thin sheet. The sheets were worned out. The heating in the room was not working and the light in the only shower was also not working. I had shower with my phone's light. There were only 2 bathrooms and one shower for all rooms. But the worse is that you can hear everything so it took me a long time to sleep as people were talking loud in the reception at 01:30.

    The location was great. The bathrooms and bedroom were clean.

    Room had no window or A/C. We could hear everything around us, so i guess walls were not that thick. The bathroom was not that good.

    We booked this location last minute since our trip canceled, so we were not expecting much. The room was clean. We made a super late check-in around 11PM, we were able to get in touch with reception guy and get instruction on how to get keys and get inside.

    We are aware that there is no window in the room but expect there will be fan or air conditioner. It's kind of hot in the day time where we need to left the door open so that the air can cerculate.

    Since it is that close to the center, it was noisy with the traffic sounds and the room was not soundproofed as advertised. The bathrooms did not have shampoos and even paper towels.
