    The location was very central, everything was spotlessly clean, and the owner, Igor, made my stay incredibly pleasant. It truly felt like staying at a relative’s house — warm, welcoming, and comfortable. Highly recommended!

    I feel like it could have been a little bit cleaner but Igor was injured when I stayed which would have made that much more tricky for him at the time.

    Igor is fantastic! He was always up for a chat about anything, very willing and able to answer my many questions about Sarajevo and very welcoming. Igor also does the basics exceptionally well: comfier mattress than my bed at home, privacy curtains on the bed, fantastic shower, plenty of hooks for hanging clothes etc. This attention to detail makes all the difference! The hostel is extremely well located in the heart of Sarajevo, with lovely panoramic views from the communal area too. There weren't always lots of guests considering it was off season but my fellow guests were kind and sociable people. I love Sarajevo and this was such a safe, comfortable and fun place to stay to make the most of the city! Thank you Igor!

    A place right in the heart of life. Yet it is quiet and you can get a good sleep after a long journey, even during the day. The owner welcomes you personally, like a good friend who is back after years. An atmospheric, cozy place. Warm in the winter - it's important! There are new clean bathrooms. Huge balcony where you can relax during the day. In the kitchen there is always coffee, tea, some sweets. The hostel is situated just a few hundred meters to the tram stops.

    Just a mini advice: Maybe should be better to show the entrance of the hostel from outside the building with a poster etc. 😌

    Be careful to check the exact location/entrance, specially if you arrive later in the day, as the door is not easy to find :)

    Igor is an extremely nice host! He is friendly to everyone, helpful for your itinerary and sometimes offer you rajkia after going back from one of the tragic museums. Hostel is also in great location. Definitely will go back next time!

    In a busy times can have problem with the toilets, the property has only two toilets and if the hostel is full it can become a problem during the rush hours.

    Good small hostel, run with warmth. The beds are great with comfortable mattresses & their own curtains. As everyone says, Igor is what makes it special... he is a Sarajevan so he can advise you on anything local, & if you return in the evening shellshocked from one of the harrowing war museums, he is usually on hand with a rakija & conversation. There's a sitting area where you can meet other travellers.(I'd suggest closing the sitting area at 11pm or midnight, everyone will sleep better & Igor will have fewer late checkouts ;D) Be careful when opening the heavy entrance door downstairs, it's easy to pinch your fingers.

    Cool place in the heart of Sarajevo Downtown

    Just in case bring earplugs if you want to keep yourself out of the noise, bc it's a small hostel and if people want to hang out until late might be a problem for you. But despite that it is a great place :)

    The hostel it has a great location, just in the middle of the main street Mustafe Baseskije. You will be near to all of the main places you should visit in Sarajevo. Igor the owner is very cool, and super chill and he just wants you to have a good experience in his hostel, he will recommend you and advise you if you want about what to do in the city. My shared room was good, comfortable bunk bed, each bed with your nightlight and plug, with curtains, so that's pretty cool and they will give you your locker and provide a key. The washroom was very clean all the time, and the shower room was separated by girls/boys also was very clean. One more thing is that I didn't stay all the nights I booked, but the owner was very helpful and he refunded me the money for the nights I didn't stay. Thank you so much for that.

    The entrance is a bit dark and the lights on the stairs are a bit hard to find. The key is a bit tricky. Could use a few chairs in the lounge.

    Igor, the host, is fantastic. He's friendly, helpful, fun, and sincere. The beds are comfortable and the dorms are clean with good sized locking cabinets. The entire place is spotlessly clean.

    Everything. For starters, Igor, the host, is such a wonderful host. He always helpful about everything. The hostel was pretty cool also. Right in the main street which makes every touristy stuff to do easily reachable by walk. The place is pretty cozy and it's pretty easy to socialze with the others and even Igor. The bed was also pretty comfy.
