Velky Slavkov is very close from Poprad-Tatry train station which is comfortable when traveling with kids. It is a nice village. I would welcome more reataurants or parks but overall it was just fine.

Poprad is not particularly attractive, but the old town area is OK for a weekend. The main attraction is that it is so close to the airport (5 euro taxi) and you can get out to the High Tatras for the day so easily. The train to Stary Smokovec for example was under 1 euro and very efficient. There was not much snow in February and as a result everywhere was a bit quiet. I would imagine when it does snow it would liven up very quickly as it is very easy to access from all over that region. Clearly a place for all year round, as they are geared up for hiking and cycling as well a winter sports. Overall a great value location

Poprad has most everything going for it, a lovely old pedestrian only old city centre, two malls, railway connection to all parts of Slovakia, and a fantastic articulated train that takes you up high into the Tatra Mountains from the upper station above the ground level station for the normal trains. There is a huge aqua park there as well. Spisska Sobota is now classified as a suburb of Poprad and it has a really beautifully preserved old city centre that is worth a visit, but nothing much else as there are no shops.

Poprad is a very nice & quiet city - it's great location for people who like to spend time in Tatry Mountains - I recommend to stay near Poprad-Tatry train station from where the Tatra Electric Railway leaves - trains provide easy access to starting points of most popular hiking tracks - I especially recommend to visit Strebskie Pleso and Stary Smokoviec and take one of hiking tracks from there up. Additionally, I recommend to rent a mountain bike in Poprad and choose one of many cycling routes - we went to Lopusna Dolina and Spišské Bystré - breathtaking views and almost noone on our way. We also went to Liptovska Mara for one day - the lake is relatively close to Poprad and it's nice for a relaxation day - we rent a pedal boat there and spent few hours on the lake resting. In Poprad itself I would recommend to visit the city center (Nameste Swteho Egida) and the historical city center - Spiska Sobota. Also Aquacity Poprad is worth to go for one day. In general - Poprad is a quiet city and also trails in Tatry Mountains from Slovakian side aren't crowded - good place to feel connection with the nature :-) In low season I used to go to Zakopane from the Polish side, but in high season it's too crowded and extremely noisy, same mountains trails.

I really liked the historic look of the property, its attached buildings, and the landscaping. I did not realize my bathroom, although private, was in the hallway. That was a bit inconvenient though I believe other rooms at the property have en suite bathrooms.

Poprad is a beautiful small town sitting under High Tatry (Vysoké Tatry) and a center for regional transportation. From there you can easily plan and make trips to the attractions around, and not just the mountains. Close is Spiš Castle, which is part of European Union protected heritage. Many more nice places.
