If you haven't met Igor, you haven't truly experienced Sarajevo! Igor is more than just a host - he's a brother, a guide, and a friend. His kindness, care, and golden heart make you feel right at home. I was initially worried about spending 5 days in Sarajevo, but Igor showed me the ropes and introduced me to a wealth of activities to enjoy. Good Place Hostel is more than just a place to stay - it's a therapy haven! The positive energy, cool guests, and amazing volunteers create a supportive community that will lift your spirits. What truly sets Igor apart, though, is the genuine care he shows for his guests. He takes a personal interest in each person's journey, offering guidance, support, and encouragement whenever needed. Igor's warmth and hospitality made my stay truly unforgettable. And, as he would say, we became 'brothers for life'! If you're looking for a genuine Sarajevo experience, a place to heal and connect, and a host who truly cares, look no further than Good Place Hostel!"

The property is on the third floor of a building next to a British phone booth (it used to be a bar but it's closed). Next to it are several pubs, a Viennese cafe, 2 museums, and a 24/7 supermarket (a bit overpriced but it works). There's practically 0 noise at night, you can't hear anything nearby, so you'll get a good sleep. Payment is in cash only, so you'll pay the owner of the hostel, Harun, who also mans the front desk. He will reach out to you via WhatsApp to discuss any details. Harun is a lovely host. He's been very helpful showing me around his place, which is spotlessly clean, well kept, with the sheets washed. Place looks really nice when the sun is up. There's a kitchen and laundry facility (for 7 EUR). There's also a common room. Location wise, put in "Tesla Pub" and walk there. It's 2 minutes from where the bus 200E drops you off from the airport, and you can go to the airport from there (Katedrala stop in Ferhadilija). Other hostels are either by the river (noisy!) or up the hills near Bascarsija (a big walk). This place has none of those.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. What I loved the most was how peaceful and home-like it felt. It was quiet, cozy, and had a very welcoming atmosphere — just like being at home. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and comfortable place to stay.

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!
