“The views were amazing and the area is beautiful. The staff didn't speak English but were still kind and helpful. The place was clean and tidy, and the communal kitchen had everything we needed. There were plenty of TV channels, including some for children. The location was convenient, close to the centre, shops and ski slopes. We had a lovely time and would recommend it to other families.”

“The place was spotless, with very convenient parking and a bus stop nearby. The mountain views were stunning. The location was perfect for exploring, with easy access to hiking trails, grocery stores and restaurants. The owner was full of energy and explained everything clearly, even though I didn't speak the language. My room had a large balcony with beautiful views of the Tatra mountains, and the firm, comfortable bed made for a great night's sleep. The room smelled fresh and aired out quickly when I opened the windows. They encourage waste sorting, which was a nice touch. The surroundings were peaceful, and I didn't get bitten by mosquitoes. A beautiful area with a beautiful view!”
