    I guess I didn't find anything I didn't like

    I liked everything. There is a very clean hostel.ve a young boss. You can tell when you see the hostel. There was shampoo, shower gel and conditioners in the showers in every cabin. And there was a lot of free herbal tea in the kitchen. There were many playing cards and books in the common area for those staying at the hostel.I had a good time.I felt at home. I would definitely recommend it

    Honestly, there was nothing I didn't like about my stay at Vagabond Hostel Sarajevo. I loved everything about it!

    I recently stayed at Vagabond Hostel Sarajevo for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is definitely the highlight – right in the center of the center, making it incredibly easy to explore everywhere in the city. The hostel has a great vibe with good energy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff and receptionists were exceptionally nice and helpful throughout my stay. The bathrooms were clean and towels were provided, which was convenient. The common area was really nice, perfect for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers. One of the perks I enjoyed was the free tea and coffee available until late (around 11 or 12, I suppose), which was a nice touch. The room was comfortable, and the bunk beds were of good quality. Additionally, it was very convenient that the hostel accepts cards, making payment hassle-free. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

    Wish the beds had curtains, but got to meet a lot of cool people in my room because they didn't.

    Great hostel! Location was perfectly central, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen/social area always had people in it. Ivan the owner was an awesome guy - even got to meet his family after he recommended a jazz bar they were going to that night together.

    Noisy at night. Heard very loud s&x sounds, woman scr$aming for about 90mins over night the first night. Either slept thru the 2nd night, or didn’t happen? Sink in the kitchen is in a different room which is a pain to go n fill up the kettle or wash dishes. Didn’t realise they locked the kitchen at night so I bought some stuff to have for early breakfast the day I left but couldn’t get it out of the fridge before I left at 5am unfortunately. Having said all that, I would probably still stay again

    Fantastic location on the Main Street. Great staff, very helpful and kind. Decent sized room, lockable storage for your bags, each bed had own charging ports which was good. Bed was a little too firm for me but it was warm - good blankets and pillows and a bank of lockers in the middle of the room afforded some extra privacy. Felt safe as the front door was locked with a code although individual rooms not locked, it still felt safe. Can store bags before checkin or after check out but I didn’t do either

    Staff were so friendly and full of information. There was a board with local food recommendations too and sign ups for free walking tours plus a hostel group chat. Rooms were quite small but plenty of luggage space. Location was right in the centre! Social room was quite small but that makes it great for socialising.

    It was a little awkward having to hold up the shower yourself, but that's only a minor issue - I'd still highly recommend staying here.

    Loved this hostel. It's in the perfect location and Ivan is an amazing host. It's easy to get chatting in your room or the common room and there's definitely a nice vibe.

    Great ambiance! The people were awesome (staff + travellers), the hostel was clean and well maintained, there's even draft beer on tap! Amazing location and strong WiFi. The host is a solid guy as well, who knows the best places for good quality cheap food, bars to hang out after touristing, and all the things to see around. 5 stars all around!

    Nothing! Everything was perfect!

    Everything! The hostel provides fresh towels, safe lockers, and cozy common areas to cook, chill, and meet people. Comfortable Crocs to use inside of the rooms are also provided and help to keep everything clean! Thank you to the amazing friendly staff who is always there to welcome you and help with anything you need, with a special shout to Denis! The location is also perfect, right at the city center, and with easy access to public transportation.

    *These are not important minus at all* Maybe the showers in the second floor are a bit small, but there’s not much to do about it as the hostel is built inside the city center. The common room isn’t open all night long but it’s understandable because is near to the dorms so they have to keep it quiet.

    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.

    Toilets/showers could be cleaner. But I think it's not completely their fault as the travellers need to be cleaner too. The kitchen areas could be cleaner too. They cut the water from toilets/showers at night, something that should be consider as some people might need to use the toilet at night.

    People were so nice and kind. The staff is always helpful giving advice and tips about the city. The room was small but ok for what you pay. Big lockers where you will need your own 🔒 I met nice people there. They let me leave my backpack after the check-in. They provide a towel
