Reasonable budget option a fair way out of town. Bed was really comfortable and breakfast good. The guys who run it are really friendly but it is quite basic.

If I ever write a book about my travels, this place would make mention. If you’re feeling lonely and need a place to feel like family, stop here. It’s like staying at your grandpas place. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gonzo. Americana Americana will never forget you!

Would recommend.
Stayed here in Ramadan for 4 nights. Excellent place to stay not far from travel links and restaurants. Large mosque 10 minutes away. Owner could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Nice single room with bathroom and free wifi. My room also had a balcony.

Great Stay, Friendly Staff, Low Prices
Hostel Gonzo has a nice location, is well priced, and the staff are very helpful and outgoing! While it is a Hostel, the rooms were spacious, the bed comfy, and the showers worked well. The staff were particularly helpful - I don't speak much Bosnian, but they did their best to provide tips for getting around, and were very willing to help make my stay as comfy as possible. If you don't mind being in a Hostel, this is probably as good a set of rooms as you can find for the money in Sarajevo!

Great customer service.
The service was great. Host made sure I had everything to be comfortable. I got sick while in Bosnia and the host took me to the hospital. The customer service is a priority. I had a great experience staying here. I definitely would stay again.

It was a ok play for a cheap price, I had to stay for 1 night so, it worked out well for me, I would suggest this place for short stays, but for longer, umm, it depends on your taste

4/10 Fair

Really nice helpful staff, long way from OldTown
Booked one night but was considering staying 3. The staff are absolutely lovely, very helpful and nice. A cold breakfast spread is also included in the price which is rare at this level / price. The hotel is a very long way from the Old Town, so you have to catch a bus or tram, which are about 5 /8 minutes walk from the hotel. The rooms are very basic but come as private with their own bathroom and tv which for the price is very good. The area is very quiet but the walls are very thin so although it was quiet outside, I could hear snoring and activities in rooms both sides of me.

Like home
My rating is based on the price i paid for my stay. The staff were amazingly friendly! I've been in 30 countries and dozens of hostels and hotels. I've never felt more like home any other place! The breakfast was decent and flexible. I love the bosnian coffee! My room was big enough for me. The hostel isn't located in the middle of the city center, but with nearby buses, trams and cheap taxis it didn't really matter. The area was quiet and I felt safe walking around there by night. Once again, the staff was genuinely nice and friendly, and most off them had a really good english. On the downside, the shower was maybe a little cold during the winter time, but the oven made my room really warm, so it didn't really matter. It was also quite hard to find by foot from the train station, but a taxi would have found it and been really cheap anyways. Maybe there's directions on how to find the hostel on their website, i forgot to check. And the contact page on their website didn't work. But their mailadress does.

6/10 Good

such nice people but too far from everything
The nice owner & son picked me up at the airport (for free) in the rain. They drove me into town the first night too. It was your basic-level hostel with a filling breakfast with local specialties. But I only stayed one night (instead of the 3 I was scheduled to stay) because it was just too far away from the life of the city and the trolley did not run often or late. If I had a rental car and wasn't a solo traveler I would say it's fine, especially for the price.

A good place to spend the night
This was a small house, with multiple rooms for guests. Whatever was lacking at the premises was more than compensated with very dedicated, discreet and personalized service. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a short-term stay.

Hostel Gonzo - Perfect for the price
Hostel Gonzo lived fully up to my expectations of a hostel in that price range. It's a little worn place but the service is top notch. The staff is really helpful, friendly and flexible. We had a really nice stay and can not find anything to complain about.
