Hostel Kucha, hotel in Sarajevo

Hostel Kucha is located in Sarajevo, just 700m from the town centre, providing views of the city and surrounding hills with its elevated position. Guests are greeted with traditional Bosnian coffee.

It's a very clean hostel with great facilities, clean kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Comfortable beds, and the lady who owns the hostel was amazing. She has lots of information about the local area, places to go, things to do, and I was even given a map to help me navigate the old town and city walls. It was perfect, I couldn't have asked for more.

Alfar House, hotel in Sarajevo

Alfar House is located in Sarajevo, 11 km from Sarajevo War Tunnel and 600 metres from Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Sarajevo.

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!!

    It was wonderful, conformable, very clean, spacious, great location, easily access and safe. We were family of 5 adult and one child. AC was only in the dining room, but the apartment was at high floor, so it was good.

    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!

    Great location, next to the market area and old city. Also close to the cable railway that takes you up the mountains, great sight. Very cheap. Sufficiently private. Friendly staff, feels quite safe and relaxing. Lots of cheap restaurants nearby, and lovely ones. A bit of noise in the evening which is to be expected in such a lively area, not really a problem and doesn't go on all night.

    Everything was great. Especially the price was super cheap and the facilities were excellent. Got locker, got TV, got AC, got towel and the beds were not the bunk beds, they're all single bed. So you won't easily get disturb while sleeping. The toilet and bathroom are inside the room. It feels like a hotel instead of hostel. And miss Amra the receptionist was also very helpful and can speak english very well. And the location was not that far from the old town and other important city attractions.

    I got a double bed instead of a normal bunk bed! The hostel is beautifully decorated. A lot of common spaces, very cozy. Lovely garden, cheap beer, sociable people. Staffs are very friendly. I didn't have enough cash when I checked in, but they allowed me to pay later.
