Alfar House, hotel in Sarajevo

Located within 6.6 miles of Sarajevo War Tunnel and a 5-minute walk of Sarajevo City Hall, Alfar House provides rooms in Sarajevo.

First of all, the location of the place was very good. You can reach Bascarsija in 5 minutes and all other touristic places in a short time. It was very close to public transportation. I was also really pleased with the cleanliness and silence. Even though it was winter, I didn't feel cold at all. Nico was a very kind host. The hostel had everything you needed. I am thinking of staying here when I come back to Sarajevo.

    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.
