This place is a joke. I booked the 12 bed dorm with ensuite on the day I was arriving, as it stated there were 10 beds available and the 14 bed dorm was almost full. On arrival, I was put into the 14 bed dorm, which only just fits 14 people, and only has 8 lockers, all of which were already taken. The bathrooms are awful, and the common room reeked of cigarettes. There are 4 computers which would struggle to run Dos, and the wifi doesn't work even thought it has full signal. Stay elsewhere!

It was very cheap, eventhough they don't include tax in price and can accomodate you in worse room then you booked. The location is excellent. English of hosts also wasn't good.

Very loud at night. No hot water one day and no internet as promised. Plus it was on a hill. The administration fees which weren't mentioned before were a surprise. For that money I could have had another bed at a better location. I am a little disappointed

Excellent hostel in the heart of Sarajevo! Only (and liteally) step away from the famous Bascarsia. The stuff is excellent, friendly and very helpfull. The dorms are bit packed, but for this money is excellent choice.

Terrible hostel! The showers flooded, the beds all smell like cigarette smoke, the breakfast was horrible. I could keep listing more, but why bother!

They pick me up from train station by car and we had a short city tour :) It's so central, 15-20 meters from Sebilj, Bascarsija. It has free breakfast and good kitchen. Also it has wide common room and free lockers. You can have a good Bosanski Coffee in the Bascarsija early in the morning. Also you can use computers and internet for free.

The people there were a bit weird, but the room was clean, we had 3 computers with internet and a big common room, and the beds were nice. The toilets were really small, and the floor would flood, but thats the only downside. The hostel is otherwise very recommendable, and more some given its great location, just couldnt be better, we could always go back or just ended up there and could pick up stuff or have lunch.

My friends and I stayed there for one night , It was the perfect location for us... you exit the door and you are right inside of the Old Town called BaşÇarşiya... really perfect location.you can go to everywhere by tram and the pubs and clubs are 5 minutes away by walking. we felt so comfortable and the hostel was so clean. We apreciated so much to the lady at the reception. She was so helpful and I strongly recomand everybody to stay there... greetings from İstanbul :D

I liked the hostel very much, the lady who recieved was super-friendly and waited for our arrival for an extra hour and also helped us depart very early in the morning, so this was defintly great! Though it's fake advertising that they have free pick-up. We asked for it and they said to take the tram which wasn't running anymore, so we had to take a taxi and one of the groups was actually ripped-off by the taxi driver. Also I didn't like waking up to the smoke of the cleaning lady.

I stayed in a 14 bedroom and the location of that room is perfect, you can get anywhere by foot in 10min. I loved that there was a living-room where you could chill and hang out with others. The staff is very friendly and willing to help at any time. The atmosphere of the hostel and the staff is so warm that it makes you forget that your in a hostel and makes you feel like your visiting a good friend and staying at their home

Once we were there we've found out the room was far 7 minutes by walk. Considering we were travelling around balkans, we were full of baggage and the man who bring us there didn't help at the beginning. Sugg: if the room is quite far, ask to go there by car,we didn't know it but it was possible. Room was clean and the bathroom too.
