Hostel Mak

This is an excellent choice for a clean, affordable, and convenient stay right in downtown Sarajevo. The host was exceptionally accommodating and easy to communicate with. My train was delayed and he met me on the street at 11:30 p.m to show me to my room, making the easiest check in I have had in the Balkans. Despite being centrally located the accommodation is very private, and even though there was a loud concert on the street very near the room, it was absolutely silent in the room while I slept. The place was clean, bathroom in excellent shape, and the bed was very comfortable. I can not say enough about the hospitality of the host, he was just great. I highly recommend!

The reception guy very helpful. When we need something he always help us and he was kind. Thank you for all.

facilities are basic but the building is new, well-kept and clean, the same applies to furniture. there is a fridge. location probably can't be better.

Good location, comfortable

Not so easy to find

Great communication with a host, who was also very helpful when I was not sure about the location of the hostel. It is easy to follow the GPS, but is located in the inner block, then follow the signs for the hostel Mak and the copy centre. :) The check in and check out was easy at the copy centre which was also used as a reception. The price was amazing for the city centre, everything in very short walking distance. My room which I booked, was actually for 4 people and I stayed there alone. :) I had plenty of space for myself, the bed was comfortable, shower and toilet clean, there was basic items available, some coffee, fridge, etc. No table or chair inside the room, but for warmer days there was seating downstairs outside in common areas. A fan available for the hot days, the place was quiet and no noise was heard from the street. Only later in evening there could be some dodgy guys hanging around, so better not coming back too late in night, just in case. I would stay definitely again. Thank you! :)

One night was really colder and no heating was working. But managed it. :)

Central location. plenty of mini-markets around. Very responsive and caring host. Super clean room and well constructed bathroom with proper hot shower. I had a (family)room for four all for myself, but if to be shared with three other backpackers the room might feel 'full'. The hostel is actually three levels with indepedent rooms an without visible staff. The desolated complex is well protected by a door that shuts automatically if you leave the hostel. The reception is actually done by friendly staff of the copy and print shop next door. After working hours somebody will be welcoming you within 5 minutes after you call.

It can be difficult to find. Google Maps and other apps get confused. That's because the hostel is situated inside a building block. The block has four entrances (two on the mainstreet, two on the side of the famous Markale fruit market). The inner court is like a labyrinth. But don't give up and look for signs that say Hostel MAK or look for sings of Kopirnica, the next door print shop. The labyrinth contains some dark corners and some sketchy stores that might make the female solo traveller feel intimidated. But once you've passed this feeling, it will feel nice to sleep in this quiet, hidden, affordable, superclean hostel.

The apartments are very central, just off the Main Street and despite the noise in the area, we found them very quiet inside. They take a bit of finding but there are lots of signs so just follow them around the inner courtyard. The owners were very friendly and helpful and allowed us to leave our bags when we arrived and we were then able to enter the room a little later. Communication was good. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate for a night or 2. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean. They were very cheap, especially when compared to hotels in the area and I would definitely stay there again if I came back to Sarajevo

All great

Extremely central, but very quiet in the rooms. Daniela, the landlady has been very informative and accommodating.

Nothing, all is superb, en suite with own kitchen with mini fridge.
