I had an enjoyable stay here. Nico is very kind and friendly. When I was sick, she showed concern and even prepared pasta for me. This place is very clean, and comfortable and feels just like home—it’s the most comfortable hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The location is excellent, situated between Old Town and the cable car, with both just a few minutes’ walk away. I would definitely recommend it!!

You will arrive as a guest, but leave as a friend. Igor was one of the better hosts I've encountered in 80+ countries of traveling. Thanks for making our stay in Sarajevo a memorable one. The 4 day/nights wouldnt have been as fun without his educated suggestions based on LISTENING to our aspirations. *dont miss the bobsled track atop the ski lifts* Fun common area, clean facilities, wonderful shower. Really, and I mean really comfortable dorm beds! Without hesitation would stay here again—even though there's some cheaper options I felt the value received was well worth a couple dollars more per night. Location walkable to everything including airport bus 🚍

Such a great place to stay. The hosts are wonderful, so friendly. Feels like home. The hostel itself is very nice. The beds are comfortable and the room is warm. Bathroom is clean. Kitchen is great, everything needed. And the common area is very nice, also to talk with other guests. Location is great, only a few minutes walk from the main attractions in the city.

Excellent comfortable hostel in a good location - it’s up a hill but nothing hard and there is a nice view of the city. Great guy (MIdo) running the hostel and Wi-Fi was good as well. Good sized lockers provided in the room

One Love 2 honestly feels like a home away from home. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the space has such a relaxed, friendly vibe. The large common area makes it easy to connect with people, the bathrooms are super clean, and everything feels new and modern. Definitely one of the nicest spots I’ve stayed at, would come back in a heartbeat

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The staff is super friendly and welcoming, Ivan which I guess is the manager does his job perfectly, the environment is chill but at the same time very involving. I’ve been in the hostel a few times because I’ve been volunteering in a place nearby and I can assure it’s the best hostel for backpackers in Sarajevo. Also the position can’t be more central.

    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!
