The Good Place Hostel is set 600 metres from Latin bridge, 1.9 km from Sebilj Fountain and 800 metres from Bascarsija Street. The property is around 10 km from Sarajevo War Tunnel, 1.8 km from Sarajevo City Hall and 2.7 km from Avaz Twist Tower. The property is 3.2 km from Koševo Stadium, and within 1.3 km of the city Baščaršija.

There is a sign in the common room that says "Where guests are treated like friends" and the owner, Igor, really lives by that. There is almost no need to go out as you can stay at the hostel and spend hours talking Igor and the other guests. The location is amazing, directly on the main pedestrian street (with a balcony perfectly for people-watching on a lazy afternoon - there is always something going on down there) and the beds are really comfy and with a nice privacy curtain.

All rooms are fitted with a fridge, oven, a kettle, a shower, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a shared bathroom fitted with a bath, while some rooms at the hostel also boast a balcony. At One Love rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels.

Perfect location, incredible view from the window, very clean and modern place with unexpectedly good huge bathroom, and good beds. I booked a bed in shared room without realising it’s a mixed (not female) bedroom, and when arrived - was offered to upgrade my booking to single room for a reasonable price. The workers (or probably owners) were really helpful.

Hostel Balkan Han has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Sarajevo. Located around 1.1 km from Sebilj Fountain, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.1 km away from Bascarsija Street. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

Hostel Balkan An is an awesome place to meet new travellers. The staff is exceptional and kind and they offer cheap beer at their own bar. The bathroom is kept clean during the day and the garden is pretty cool (but just too cold during fall and winter). I would recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to meet new people!

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a desk, a TV, a private bathroom, bed linen, towels and a balcony with a city view. The rooms will provide guests with a fridge.

Latin bridge is 10 km from Pansion Stari Konak, while Sebilj Fountain is 11 km from the property. The nearest airport is Sarajevo International Airport, 2 km from the hostel.

We booked the room in 1 h before arriving and the host answered quickly. He is so nice and friendly. His mother is an old lady who doesn't speak English but she is very cute. They treated us to watermelon. The room is simple, nothing extraordinary. Good location, 40 min walk from the airport.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Absolutely the best hostel for me, Boban and his brother Denis and even the rest of the family have been nothing but welcoming to me and made my stay pleasant. For the price I paid, you cannot find better in the city. Free laundry is included. There's a proper livingroom with cable TV featuring a plethora of channels. A nice kitchen with all the basics, a bunch of toilets and two showers. There's a free parking area reserved for the guests right across the hostel as well, which is very luxurious for any hostel to have.

    So, where do I start? I am a backpacker who have been to 84 countries so far and this was one of the best hostels I ever had stayed in. Igor is a really cool host, the place is very friendly, it’s so clean and fresh, perfect location, even a “indoor” balcony where you can sit watch people walk on the street. There’s small mirrors in each bed for your morning routine, there’s small pockets for your important belongings. The bed are comfortable and you create your own space with curtains. Highly recommended!
