Not so easy to find

Good location, comfortable

Stayed in September 2024

One night was really colder and no heating was working. But managed it. :)

Great communication with a host, who was also very helpful when I was not sure about the location of the hostel. It is easy to follow the GPS, but is located in the inner block, then follow the signs for the hostel Mak and the copy centre. :) The check in and check out was easy at the copy centre which was also used as a reception. The price was amazing for the city centre, everything in very short walking distance. My room which I booked, was actually for 4 people and I stayed there alone. :) I had plenty of space for myself, the bed was comfortable, shower and toilet clean, there was basic items available, some coffee, fridge, etc. No table or chair inside the room, but for warmer days there was seating downstairs outside in common areas. A fan available for the hot days, the place was quiet and no noise was heard from the street. Only later in evening there could be some dodgy guys hanging around, so better not coming back too late in night, just in case. I would stay definitely again. Thank you! :)

It can be difficult to find. Google Maps and other apps get confused. That's because the hostel is situated inside a building block. The block has four entrances (two on the mainstreet, two on the side of the famous Markale fruit market). The inner court is like a labyrinth. But don't give up and look for signs that say Hostel MAK or look for sings of Kopirnica, the next door print shop. The labyrinth contains some dark corners and some sketchy stores that might make the female solo traveller feel intimidated. But once you've passed this feeling, it will feel nice to sleep in this quiet, hidden, affordable, superclean hostel.

Central location. plenty of mini-markets around. Very responsive and caring host. Super clean room and well constructed bathroom with proper hot shower. I had a (family)room for four all for myself, but if to be shared with three other backpackers the room might feel 'full'. The hostel is actually three levels with indepedent rooms an without visible staff. The desolated complex is well protected by a door that shuts automatically if you leave the hostel. The reception is actually done by friendly staff of the copy and print shop next door. After working hours somebody will be welcoming you within 5 minutes after you call.

nothing

Super friendly staff. Clean Bathroom and Room. Comfortable mattress and fresh bed clothing. The hostel is right in the middle of the old town but nestled between the buildings: Despite loud music in the old town in the room it was very quiet. Simply perfect! Save bicycle parking in the room! (I had a room for me alone)

mini fridge would be good but not a deal breaker, reception closes at 16:00 so have to check in before then

perfect location, clean and comfortable, great value let me leave my bag for the day as well

Road to reception is bad, dirty.

3-person room for single use. Near the all interesting places to watch, eat and drink. Quiet place.

hard to find it at first. The hostel is on the second floor of the builing complex.

the owner was super nice and polite. Bed was clean. Accept both Bam and Euro

There was no AC but was a fan. Was little bit too hot.

Location just in the centre. But still it was very quiet. Nice owner.

It's not located at number 11 but within a courtyard next to a tattoo saloon and bookmaker's joint. Looks dodgy at first but actually it's safe. There is no common area or kitchen (but who needs one in Sarajevo with its buregdzicas and čevapdzicas)

Very well located. Pretty much 10 min away from the main Bazaar. It's a quiet neighborhood so you'll get a good night sleep. The reception isn't available at all times therefore notify in advance your time of arrival.

All great

The apartments are very central, just off the Main Street and despite the noise in the area, we found them very quiet inside. They take a bit of finding but there are lots of signs so just follow them around the inner courtyard. The owners were very friendly and helpful and allowed us to leave our bags when we arrived and we were then able to enter the room a little later. Communication was good. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate for a night or 2. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean. They were very cheap, especially when compared to hotels in the area and I would definitely stay there again if I came back to Sarajevo

Nothing, all is superb, en suite with own kitchen with mini fridge.

Extremely central, but very quiet in the rooms. Daniela, the landlady has been very informative and accommodating.

The heating worked intermittently. My main disappointment was that the hostel was down little alleyways that were very poorly lit at night, with broken paving stones and trash on the sides. I am a solo woman traveler and did not feel safe leaving the hostel when it was dark. I felt that this restricted my movements and enjoyment of the city. The room and especially the shower could use a good cleaning.

Markale market was around the corner and a grocery next to it. Convenient for walking the Old Town. The Hostel was set back from the main road in an alleyway so it was very quiet.

Poorly ventilated/wet smell, quite warm, no AC.

Great price, convenient location, reasonable room

The bathroom needs renovation and deep cleaning; you have to push the tap to get water only for one second. The sink and toilet hardly pass out any water, as the pipes were blocked. No toilet paper or soap. It was a bit noisy from the banging doors of the photocopy shop in the Hostel! I barely saw any staff, we sort of took care of ourselves. Odd location, Cobwebs on wall spiders. Wifi was terrible. The shower was not warm enough or powerful enough. The hostel is located in an unsafe area near gambling office with a dark entrance, the Bed is not very comfortable and very low. Soundproofing could definitely be better, both to the outside and other rooms. You still be able to hear other guests late at night.

The receptionist was very polite and willing to help as much as he can. Affordable place (not the cheapest) to rest your head only for one night and don't expect much more.

It was not clean. We found cockroaches in the bathroom.

Central location and it was quiet.

When I got in too the room there was a musty smell but I ignored it until the ceiling started to fall on me ! I started to move my luggage to another corner so they don't get wet until I noticed that the other corner was wet by the rain water and keep in mind that this is mid August rain so I can't imagine staying here in winter. Also if you are checking out on Sunday there is no one in the reception to store your luggage or to hand the keys. Another thing would probably be the colour of the sheets which weren't white and I couldn't make sure if they were dirty or not. If you are going in summer be careful before booking because they have no AC in the rooms which can get really hot.

Location was close to the local attractions

Great hotel! Cheap and nice and perfect location. Greetings from Berlin.

I liked everything, The bed was very comfy and the area was exceptional. Quiet and good.

The location is just perfect. In the main walking street in Sarajevo's city center. The room is huge, I had three beds even though I'm a solo traveller. The hot water was working fine and everything looked very clean. I will definitely repeat my stay when I'll go back someday to Sarajevo and I will recommend the place. Even though I arrived a bit late, I called the number that they had and in 5 minutes someone came to check me in. Very nice service. You really feel the privacy, nobody bothers you during your stay. The price couldn't be better
