Igor’s place is where you go to meet the one local you absolutely have to meet (Igor) and the funny travelers who keep coming back again and again, drawn by the hostel’s great party vibe. It’s a very cool spot with views over the main street, but the real highlight is the host and the people you meet there. Everyone seems to end up extending their stay. The location is perfect—especially if you’re doing SFF—since it doesn’t get more central than this.

This hostel is one of the best hostels I ever stayed. The beds are super comfy, the shower is amazing (pressure and heat), the kitchen is very organized and provides everything you need if you want to cook. There is a terrace which is really nice to have coffee in the morning. Location is good, and the hill really isn’t that bad. Lastly the owner is incredible super friendly as well as her staff.

The most amazing location and helpful staff! This little place has only just freshly opened but it's in the perfect central spot, easy walking distance to everything you could want and they will bend over backwards to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need! Very cozy family vibes with only a few dorm rooms and a central hang-out lounge and balcony area.

Breathtaking view from the garden and the rooms. The lady was incredibly welcoming and hospitality was great. You have to walk uphill to reach the hostel and there's no public transport, but that wasn't a problem for me since I wanted to walk and all the pros were worth.

Clean beds, clean bathrooms and the balcony view was really nice. It was a fairly social place and you get towels and a place to store food. Would recommend.

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!
