Located in a restored Austro-Hungarian building, this SJJ hotel immerses guests in World War I history through uniquely themed accommodations. Hostel Franz Ferdinand features private rooms and mixed dormitories for 4-8 guests, each equipped with air conditioning, fresh linens, and either private or shared bathrooms. The property includes a lounge area with computers and serves complimentary continental breakfast. Cultural events showcase traditional Bosnian sevdalinka music performances and regional musicians.

The 16th-century Gazi Husrev-Beg's Mosque and Old Orthodox Church with rare manuscripts are within walking distance.
