    Cleanliness, position, staff

    Dorms are literally on the street, so you can hear everything happens outside

    Good social areas to meet other traveler’s

    There’s a persistent musty dank smell on the upper floor where all the shoes in the hall are, the room ventilation is poor as well so smells bad in the mornings, can leave windows open but the noise from the street is loud. Showers are on a 20 second timer which makes it difficult to shower. Feels overcrowded a lot of the time. Gaps in toilet doors and showers preventing complete privacy

    Property response:

    We are sorry that you rated our hostel this way and never told us a word about your dissatisfaction. I would like to point out that you extended your stay twice. All the best and enjoy your trip.

    The backyard is really cool! Also the fact that there is a bar. The rooms are also very comfy and clean

    Bathrooms could have been cleaner. No shoes in the living area rule, I don't feel comfortable sharing crocs with strangers 😅 There could b3 more activities like pub crawls etc.

    The queen bed sized bunks.

    i couldn’t use the courtyard because so many people were always smoking out there.

    The hostel is very close to the Old Town and public transportation. The staff were very helpful.

    It's a hostel. You know what you're in for.

    Great location, friendly staff, well equipped kitchen and nice shared spaces/outdoor terrace area and bar for meeting people

    Large group of high school students were occupying two of the dorms when I stayed there and doors were slamming all the time, shaking my entire bunk bed

    Very nice hosts, beautiful balcony for hanging out

    It was impossible to sleep without earplugs, my bed was next to the window and cars were passing by right next to it so it was very loud. Otherwise it was good

    Slijedeći put nemojte tražiti hostel u centru . I nosite čepiće obavezno :)

    Great social hostel that’s in a good location. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a bar that sells extremely cheap drinks. The beds have curtains and sockets by the beds. The wifi worked well.

    The place is clean, very spacious, has lots of communal living spaces like the outside patio and the dorm room has an ac and a fan. Everyone that works there is very hospitable and the owner especially cares for his guests and makes sure everyone is comfortable and happy. The place has an extremely cheap bar with a cool vibe.

    It provides everything for a hostel. Sarajevo is a magical place and Balkan Han makes is even better if you are about to stay in a hostel. The garden is very nice. The kitchen is clean. I didn't have any problem with the facility. The staff was kind. Just bring lock for your stuffs.

    The only thing was that the room's air quality was not good.

    The hostel atmosphere, it's a traditional backpacker place where you can find a lot of people from many places and open to share.

    The place is located by a busy street so it may be a little noisy in specific moments.
