    It is located in center of the city. Every attraction within walking distance. It was clean and warm. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. I met wonderful people in there. I specially want to thank Svetlana for making my stay remarkable.

    It was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff welcomed me very cordially. The hostel was very clean. They gave clean towels. The toilet and bathroom were inside my room and were very clean. The facility is located in a very central location. You can walk everywhere in 1-2 minutes. If I come to Sarajevo again, I know where I will stay. Thank you Franz Ferdinand family for everything...

    Overall I liked everything, the beds are very comfortable, the facilities are great but I want to highlight the role of Svjetlana, she made me feel at home. Besides the fact that she is an excellent artist, she is a great person, who likes what she does and her work. Put one Svjetlana in your life and you will be happy. 27 out of 10. < 3

    The shower pressure is not too good but given the price, it's OK.

    All the staff are super super nice. It takes about 30mins from the bus terminal by walk. But the road is flat. You can use a relatively big locker.

    I saw some signs say the stay includes breakfast, but it didn't appear to

    Fantastic staff, especially on my check-in. Facilities were good, normal. I stayed only my last night in Sarajevo, and the hostel is located very close to a stop for the bus that goes to the airport.

    I don't usually write reviews but the staff were fantastic. They were so welcoming, friendly and really cared, they brought people together and I enjoyed some really great conversations! Cele you're a legend!! The room was spotlessly clean, I stayed in the Lucitania room and it was wonderfully spacious. There were no curtains on the beds but they were spread out. a good size and very comfortable so despite the lack of curtains they still felt private. Location is brilliant, close to tram and the centre of town, located down a quiet side street so I didn't encounter any noise and slept well.

    We reserved the Small Twin Room with a private bathroom. Upon check-in, we discovered that the shower doors were broken and removed, making it quite challenging to take a shower without flooding the entire bathroom. If they told us about it in advance, we would reserve another room.

    Great location in the very heart of town, just a few minutes from the restaurants and shops of the Old Town, from the historic Latin Bridge and from all the major attractions, but still peaceful and quiet at night. Very friendly customer service.

    There is not really a common area to meet. There are two kitchen, but they are without any windows, so they are not really inviting. The hostel is a little run down and therefore appears to not be very clean, but you get what you pay for. For the price that I was paying, it is great value for money

    The location of the hostel is absolut amazing. You are right in the city center. The aiport bus stop is just a 3min walk away as well as all other attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Nothing so far , it’s just the limited availability of rooms as I was actually super happy and telling everyone about them and bring them in the hostel to see how it is but the hostel is always booked 😊

    Amra was a great help and flexible, super friendly , the staff are great , the hostel is super clean , super tidy , honestly you will feel at home with free coffee and tea besides a full kitchen with lounge .The property is actually the best hostel I stayed at so far . Well done 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

    It was a bit difficult to find the entrance, the sign of the hostel is hardly noticeable. And stairs to the top bunk bed is very inconvenient and there are no bed rails there. I don't move much in my sleep but still it was a bit scary to sleep without them

    Great location. The hostel is very central. Everything is super close. There is a supermarket 5 minutes away from it. The train station is only 30 minutes away on foot. And the old part of the city is just around the corner. Friendly stuff, willing to help and give some advice of what to do in the city. Comfortable beds. Interesting design and cool vibe. Comfortable mattress and you get a spacious locker to keep your things

    One Staff A Girl, with white hair and her age from 35 to 40 I guess, she is very rude and he has bad attitude. Im just asking for something but she doesn't know how to communicate properly I think the management should know about this. But the other staff are super good.
