Nikul from United Kingdom
Amazing hostel and just off the main square in Banska Bystrica. The staff are really good and helpful and even allowed me to check in earlier as the room was ready and available. I was just hoping they would take my backpack, but they went that one step further. The rooms are big and spacious and doesn't feel cramped when sharing with others. Good...
