The people who run the hostel are great, so helpful and genuine. Went out of their way several times. Location is perfect, it's in the old Turkish town and easy easy walking distance for great nightlife/views up the hill/brewery/Latin bridge etc. very nice stay.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Lion. It's centrally located in the Old Town, with large clean rooms and spotless shared bathrooms. Our room over looked a courtyard and the rear of a shisha bar, but any minor noise was not a problem. Views of the hills and local mosques made the location atmospheric. Good value for money... More

We were rather disappointed as we were promised a room with air condition and we only got a fan. We were also informed that coffee was available all day which was not the case. We were also told that bread and cakes would be available at the baker shop close by so that we could have breakfast outside prior to... More

I was quite apprehensive about staying here as I don't usually stay in hostels... but as soon as you entered the reception you knew it would be a special place. The family who run it are amazing - we only stayed for one night but we felt the warmth of Gina. The rooms are colourful, clean and comfortable - the... More

The location of the hostel is great... Steps from the part of amazing Sarajevo. The place is pretty clean with plenty of bathrooms separate from the showers (as this is a shared bath hostel). Our room had no A/C which was a concern but the room stayed remarkable cool given the high temperature outside. The decorations are a little like... More

The Pansion Lion is in the heart of Bascarsija, the wooden turkish area of Sarajevo. It's run by a friendly and lovely family. We met Gina and her mother and they were helpful and ready to chat all the time. Gina speaks italian very well and english, spanish and french. The staff was really kind to welcome us day and...

I stayed at the Lion for 2 nights recently as part of a Balkan group tour. There's no doubt the location is the major selling point of staying here, with the Old Town, transport and a myriad of eating and drinking options only a few minutes walk away. The rooms certainly are "quirky" in a homely kind of a way... More

I'll admit that the Pansion Lion is not to my personal taste: it's too quaint and homey for me, but I'm willing to bet that plenty of people will absolutely fall in love with it from the second they get their room key. And considering the price, location, and super-friendliness of the staff there, I would be more than satisfied... More
