Hostel Posillipo, Sarajevo

Liked: Friendly and helpfull staff, great location Didn't like: Locks of bedroom and bathroom broken...

great location, very easy to reach both train/bus stationsgood and cheap restaurants

Liked: The room we slept in was really cozy, just under the roof, so always lightful.The staff is nice, and the location pretty good too, just a few meters walking from the main street. Didn't like: ///

Liked: Although I didn't like my stay (read the negative part), I have to say: if you don't expect to much, the rooms are perfect, although VERY basic. The location isn't the worst. We were just expecting way more so it was a disappointment. Didn't like: It al began when we arrived (in the evening). Everything was closed and dark. Nobody seemed to be at the hostel, so I dailed the phone numbers listed on the door. Nobody answered. After half a hour we gave up an began searching for internet, to see if it went bankrupt or something. I couldn't find anything so I dialed the phone numbers again. Still nothing. We went back to the hostel one last time, when we arrived there was someone at the hostel. I confronted him with the fact that we were trying to contact him for more than an hour now, but he didn't really seemed to care. Didn't even apologize. (I have to say that when we met him later on he was much more friendly though) He began to search in his reservations an phoned someone right away. I don't really understand Bosnian but it he was not amused and it was obvious somebody gave our room away. He then ordered us to pay in advance, which I'm not really used to at a hostel. He brought us to one of his other hostels (which was also named Posillipo), 200m uphill. The 'hostel' we arrived in was by no means a hostel. There was no common area, kitchen or anything. No Wi-Fi. Bedroom without bed lamp, only the central light. Shower without mount. We booked a room with garden view but we got sky view, since the room was on the top floor of the building. It was more like a hotel without reception, only the rooms.

Liked: This room was located like 200 mts from the hostel, but anyway was a good location.... near of the old city, and also it had a nice balcon. Didn't like: The bad thing is there is no water in bathrooms between 00:00 and 06:00am, so if I need to checkout very early maybe u could not taking a shower.

Liked: The owners were very, very kind people and very helpful with whatever problems we had. Location was very good and near the center. Didn't like: WIFI NEVER WORKED. The hostel is closed until 9am but it isnt posted so our bus arrived at 6 and we had to wait outside the hostel for 3 hours. The private room we stayed in wasnt that clean, I dont think they were expecting us because one of the employees had to "clean" the room while I was waiting but it was more him changing the sheets and picking up the large trash but the floor was still dirty etc. Also, we booked a double bed and got two singles.

It is exactly in the Sarajevo's old town, in a beautiful neighborhood. The staff was very nice, the coffee was delicious

Liked: shadrvan , gaz husrev bey mosque , old bazaar , sarajevo burek etc. Didn't like: nothing

Very good hostel. Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent location right next to the old town, clean rooms that locked so our stuff felt safe, no lockers though.

The location is fantastic, the price very cheap, the owner very kind. I recommend it to anyone visiting the wonderful city of Sarajevo
