Hotel Mountain Hotel Bilíkova Chata

Starý Smokovec - Hrebienok, 06201 Vysoké Tatry, Slovakia –

Lock in a great price for Mountain Hotel Bilíkova Chata – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Outstanding location for hiking trips and absolutely awesome and helpfull staff!

Diana, Poland

This is location where you go for hiking. I enjoyed the location very much. Borovicka was good as well. A bit pricy I would say. I've had room with shared bathroom - I thought I will share it with whole floor. To my surprise it was shared only with neighborghing room (still, neghboor was dirty haha).

Tomas, Slovakia

Location - in the heart of High Tatra, perfect for trips starting in early morning. Wonderful view from the room, especially the sunrise.

Jozef, Slovakia

Good breakfast for 5 euros. Excellent location in the heart of nature. Good point to start hikes.

Ádám, Hungary

The food was amazing and beer and sprit selection was great, the decorotions in the resturant was fantastic to see gave a real rustic feel to what a mountain lodge should feel like everyone to their own opinions the beds where decent again could have done with extra pillows as an option

Callum, United Kingdom

I would recommend this place as it is an easy way up on a first day after work and a good starting point for the walk up.

Alexczap, Slovakia

Really great stay. Perfect location for some excellent day hikes. Some very long hikes or just half day hikes to suit Lovely vibe in restaurant at end of day

Andrea, New Zealand

Very good location, friendly staff, good food, nice, comfortable and quiet room. They were flexible with check-in time too. The chata is a perfect starting point for hiking. Definitely recommended!

Virag, Hungary

The staff was super nice, beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and food was very good. We were doing a trek from Zdiar to Zakopane and it's less than 20min away from the path.

Paloma, Spain

The location is great, great terrace. The rooms are comfortable and spacious.

Temputure in the room was like being in a sauna there was no valve controls for radiator to turn down or off, nor did the window open to cool the room down also being 6 foot I struggled to move round without smashing my head of the roof which slopped badly near window

Would be great to have a kettle for tea in the hall after they close the restaurant at 8pm . Also, they lock the hotel at 10pm due to bears, but in this case they should also explain the exit protocol in case of emergency.

Being with a baby, I lacked a place to spend an evening after 8pm. There were tables and chairs in the corridor but the lights went off every few minutes and you needed to turn them on again.
Superb location, great food, nice terrace and comfortable rooms.

We paid for the breakfast and then we had to pay an additional amount for a 'breakfast menu' (a full breakfast) which was a bit surprising but it was OK. Everything else was just great!

Wifi is rubish and it should stay like that. Once people start coming here for good wifi, it will be wrong place to go. Staff is fab. Location is fab. Food is fab. You can enjoy the mountain view whilst warming you tired muscles in the sauna, what else one needs after long day in the Tatras! Thank you for you hospitality!
