GRAN hostel

Very central, given it was empty it was good

rather dated, the hygiene could be more meticulous, the bathroom could be in better shape. Again, as we were only 2 people, no problem

A fabulous hostel! Friendly helpful host, very clean,tidy,spacious dorms with privacy curtains and personal mains and light,lockers and small towel included. Great social areas; quiet comfortable reading area, courtyard,well equipped kitchen. Will thoughtout and cared for. Walking distance from bus and train station (hostel road uphill ) ,centre location in historic centre and near all sights, great cafes,eateries and supermarkets .Banska Bystrica is a good place for local hikes to Viewpoint, the observatory and easy bus day trip to Spania Dolina etc. I was exhausted after hiking in the high Tatras so had a much needed lovely relaxing rest and did non of the above!.Excellent value for money.

It was very close to the centre of the old town and good value for money

Facilities were basic and one bathroom was shared between a lot of others, so if the hostel was full, it could be a problem

Nice location, close to the city center. Kitchen well equiped.

They gave us a different, cheaper room on arrival without mentioning that’s not what I booked. I have to show on app that was a different room, then they said some problems with the room booked,after further complaining they gave the room I booked. In the end he said wanted to spare us the steps, which is ridicolous.I felt tricked. Not a pleasant experience. Besides that one of the neon light was not good another one was on a brink to go out, constantly going on and off. And the bathroom was outside the room, although it was not mentioned that its a shared unit.
