Banská Bystrica LGBT Friendly Hotels

"A Perfect Blend of History and Luxury Hotel Europa exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in a stunning 1898 building, recently refurbished to perfection, it effortlessly combines historical grandeur with modern comforts. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was mesmerizing, with elegant candelabras casting a warm glow and luxurious carpets adorning the floors. The soaring high ceilings add to the sense of space and opulence. The room was impeccable, featuring a mattress that ensured a blissful night’s sleep and a shower that felt like a spa experience. The service was flawless—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout my stay. Breakfast was a highlight: a delectable spread of fresh and flavorful options that catered to every taste. Conveniently located directly opposite the central train station, the hotel also offers the rare luxury of free and easy parking, making it a perfect choice for travelers. Whether you're here for business or leisure, Hotel Europa is a destination in itself. I can’t wait to return!"

"On Saturday night, a noisy disco could be heard until 4:00 in the morning in the apartment on the second floor. No one warned about it, no one cared that the guests could not sleep in the rooms. Terrible hotel from the nineties."

"The stay was enjoyable overall, good food and nice place, clean kids area, very beautiful surroundings. However, we had a few issues. Our room was full of insects. Very huge bugs which are spread around the whole area where the hotel is located were constantly appearing in the room. The water in the pool could be warmer, especially for the kids area. The hair dryer was not functioning, so we had to pick up a replacement in the reception. I would expect a room service for this at least. Some minor things which were not expected in hotel in the 4*category and could be improved. Otherwise, we are satisfied with the stay."

"Standard double room advertised as much bigger, see photos e.g. with armchair and desk space. In reality, there is no armchair and desk available, apart from of the TV's, so the room is definitely smaller, e.g. the one you see under twin bed room. Some of the spaces will need some improvement in the next few years, but still a 4/5. Apart from this, I am very satisfied, clean, silent, and well equipped spaces, great kitchen ( food quality), the Wellness suit is AMAZING. And the Staff is brilliant, caring and helpful. The location of the hotel is totally perfect, 2-3mins to the train and bus stations, the food store and literally on the way to the cable cars/ ski lifts from the station. I also recommend the Tourism Centre (Tourinform) in front of the hotel and the Norwegian sports equipment store next to the hotel. The stay left me with memories I will cherish for a lifetime and thanks for the Aplend's Staff for this."
