The Good Place Hostel and specifically the staff made my days in Sarajevo one of the memorable ones in my life. The host Igor is a great guy who gave me the great recommendations and took us to the very local places like Kino Bosna. The atmosphere is so relaxed and lively and Igor helps all the guests to get connected. The Hostel itself is located in the very heart of Sarajevo, in the pedestrian street. Shops, fast food points, museums, transport and all the landmarks are accessible just in a few steps. The beds are solid and comfy, facilities good. This is the place which I definitely visit again. Strongly recommended! živjeli!

    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!

    One of the best hostels of my life, everything was perfect. I felt at home, and a big thank you for the music in the common room, from morning to evening it made me happy (many different genres, but always good music). Long live the Vagabond family!

    Really great location and facilities (laundry, full kitchen, towels, lovely staff). We also really enjoyed the free breakfast in the morning which included EGGS! Eggs are a rarity at a hostel. The staff were very helpful when it came to finding banks to withdraw money, purchase adaptors, call taxis to the railway station etc. They removed a lot of the stresses associated with travel
