Hostel YMCA guest book
Warm & cosy environment. Good kitchen to cook breakfast. Staff very helpful & friendly. Excellant restuarant near the hostel, where for a special deal you can get a 2 course meal for € 3. TV lounge, ample hot water & even table tennis. Locatiion is ideal, plenty of bars to visit. Lots of nice scenery in the local area. Check out the uprising museum when you are there! Many thanks to Petra/Ivan & team for making this a great stay! David and Joseph from UK
Hi Petra,
and greetings from Finland!
I and my fiancee Sonja stayed one night at your hostel in July. I don't know whether you remember us, but we just wanted to pass our thanks to both of you for very warm welcome and especially for your excellent recommendations. We took heed of your advices and didn't rush to Poprad (as we had planned). In Banska Bystrica we had supper at your friends' restaurant (very tasty) and the town's best ice cream (very tasty as well). Also, we visited the clocktower and took a walk at the hill and around the city. The next day - following the nicely decorated map you made for us :) - we moved to Bystra visiting the cave and taking a day-walk at the mountains from Trangoska. Now that was really beautiful and one of the highlights of our journey! The High Tatras were magnificent too, but we didn't regret the slightest bit staying a couple of days in the Low Tatras too - thank you for this :).
Altogether I think we had much too little time to spend in Slovakia and we definitely have to come back again another time. All the best, take care, Tommi
Som tu asi len 10 minút a viem, že sa sem chcem čoskoro vrátiť :o). Je tu úžasná domácka atmosféra, a aj vy naši hostitelia ste skvelí. Ale prosím domáce väzenie nám už nedávajte :o)) (po vymknutí partie). A tešíme sa na ďalší pobyt u vás, chi. Veronika a Lucia
It´s a wonderful place to rest!! Thanks ... from Lithuania
Cool! Very cheap because they are suprisingly not for profit making organisation but the quality of the accomodation was very good and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, we spent a nice day in your hostel! Best wishes, Péter
Hello Petra, my phone did not sent the text message on Saturday evening, but it finally should have got through from another mobile. Hopefully you go it.
We set out very early in the morning. Owing to the bus connections it took quite a while until we arrived to Certovica, but the path was clear and amazing all the way along the ridge from the pass to the Chata Stefanika. Moreover last Sunday was really a "Sun day", with clear sky from dawn to dusk. Attached is a photo of the view from Dumbier. Thanks for everything.
Looking forward to seeing you again, Zoltán |

One of the best places I have ever been to! In the city centre, close to bars (live music, good atmosphere and kind people), restaurants (tasty Slovak specialities) and places of interest (clock tower, SNP museum...). Very clean, well-equipped kitchen, and above all, Petra is very welcoming, helpful, and full of energy! Banska Bystrica is very pretty and there are a lot of things to do around the town (canoeing, small villages with wooden churches, caves, castles...). You should not miss it!!

Petra and Ivan are sweethearts ans speak excellent English. In-mid June the hostel was literally empty. I had a five bed dorm en suire and the kitchen completely to myself, which was very comfortanle if a bit odd and lonely. Both this hostel and Banska Bystrica are worthy of more visitors.

Close to city center, 20 minutes walk from bus station. Nice atmosphere and quiet room for traveller to get rest. Kitchen is fully-equipped so it's convient to cook.

Thanks for nice weekend in Banská Bystrica. Beautiful city, beautiful people ... Beruška.
Atmosphere of a hostel is made by people who lead it. You found them so I am not afraid about hostel´s future. Vivat Hostel YMCA! Vojta
I wish you a fullfilled dream. It is an inspiration for us. Miki (general secretary of YMCA in Czech republic)
Thank you for everything. New ideas were opened, new perspectives came into my life. Thank you for new chance, getting to know interesting people and God. It was a wonderfull weekend that I will never forget. Petra, YMCA Nesvady
