Olivera
Bosnia and Herzegovina“Homestay with basic rooms and bathrooms. Fanned small dorms, no lockers, no kitchen. Still, great location for going around the town, good terrace, and amazing neighbourhood (in the forest). I cannot recommend it for amenities but would stay there...”- Anilkumar

United States“The location is great as it is in the city center; the fort, bus stand, and train station are all within 15 minutes walk. There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and barbershops in the area. You can pretty much get anything you need”- Lusianah

Germany“Basic Accomodation owner is very friendly and helpful!”- Stephanie
New Zealand“The family who run this hostel are really lovely. They serve delicious food at a very good price. The location is excellent - very near to the fort. The only down side is that all rooms open off an open central area so any noise carries.” - Amy United States“Rooms were comfortable, ac 24/7 with control. Walkable to the old city and the main bus stop.”
