I found a great budget accommodation! It's really cool that I was able to check in at night without the staff, which is convenient! They gave me all the passwords! We had a really interesting conversation with the owner! He's a lovely guy. ✅
The hostel has six rooms and a total of 50 beds, four bathrooms, a place where you can use the internet and the Bujroom Room. Socializing in the quiet green garden is a must-do on warm days. Here you can rest from the city crowds and enjoy some natural shade with a coffee, tea, domestic brandy or wine and even a cookout. The hostel offers film screenings, a popular activity that takes place either in the Bujroom Room, with its big screen, or in the Open Air Cinema (when conditions permit). You can ask the staff for information on arranging tours and excursions throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
As the hostel is located on Dalmatinska St. and is only some 200 meters from the city's main walking streets (Maršala Tita and Ferhadija), the location serves as an excellent starting point for taking in city sights and attractions, as well as visiting many eateries and places to shop.

My group’s trip here was ruined by a norovirus scare. We arrived to find that the one existing occupant of our room had been seriously ill and had a sick bucket at the end of the bed, and the next morning we found out from one of the other guests that around 6 people in the hostel had been violently throwing up the past few days. The owner denied to us that this was the case and said the guest in our room had food poisoning and that there were no other people that were sick. He only offered to remove the sick bucket, could not relocate us to a different room and could not refund us for the nights we hadn’t stayed unless we returned on another day - which we didn’t want to do given we were worried about catching the virus. This is a real shame as he was very hospitable when we first arrived, and the rooms were a decent standard. I appreciate this a mostly positively reviewed hostel, but the very least you can do is be transparent to your guests if they’re about to share a room with someone clearly very unwell.
Decent stay for a few nights, normal hostel nothing special. People mostly respect the no noise rule after 22. Great location.
This was a great hostel. The lower bunks were very spacious and comfortable, and washrooms were clean. They give you a welcome shot of rakija. Towels included!
Super racist guy! Wouldn’t let my POC partner stay because he accused him of having diseases… Also would force me to do a lot of cooking/cleaning and his reasoning was that this was the balkan way.. that woman were the ones to clean and the men to enjoy. He would make me do things such a wash him and his male friends feet and massage him. even after i was crying begging him to let me go back to sleep he told me to go sleep on the street instead. Awful experience. Please never go here if you’re a woman, volunteer, POC
