We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, warm, bright, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for our large family. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully arranged, making us feel relaxed from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was exceptionally well organized, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. It was truly a great start to each day. After a long journey, this hotel was exactly what we needed to rest and recharge. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful accommodation, spacious rooms, very clean, great location (3 min walk to closest bus stop, 10 min walk to Terchova centrum bus stop), welcoming staff. Wellness was in great shape, easy to book (1 hour ahead), 4 different saunas, indoor and outdoor hot tub and some more. Grocery store 5 min walk, post office and hospital center nearby. 3 different playgrounds for kids, mini zoo with sheep, basketball/soccer court and more. Breakfast was amazing, huge and tasty selection and the hotel restaurant was generally great - delicious food and really good beer that they make in the brewery Vrsky there. If we go to Terchova again, we are definitely booking Drevenice resort.

U Belianky, in the idyllic village of Stefanikova (Terchova) is the perfect place to stay if you enjoy nature, walking in the surrounding lush hills and forests, carpeted in wild flowers. You can soak up the fresh mountain air in the sunshine on the terraces of the old log rustic cafes and bars, enjoying a local fresh beer, or fresh coffee or hot chocolate by the fire-place. There is also an excellent pizzeria in the village with a wide range of traditional Slovak dishes. The surrounding snow-capped mountains of Slovakia's Mala Fatras are breath-taking. They make challenging hikes to the snow-capped saddles or you can take a cable-car up to the top and walk across the 'sedlo' and admire the surrounding peaks across the Tatras and Poland. Whether you're a walker, hiker, or just love being in the mountains, U Belianky also offers a spacious first-class kitchen and dining facilities, comfy accommodation, pool table, table-tennis, a fire-place and warm, comfy, private en-suite bedrooms.

We went purely for skiing. Lovely slopes, just make sure there’s plenty of snow forecast, else it gets icy. For UK visitors it’s just over a 2 hour flight to Poprad Tatry (Wizz Air) and a 40 minute transfer and you can be skiing by afternoon if you have an early morning flight.

Great for fans of brutalist communist architecture, mid size eastern EU towns and budget kebabs. Nice people, I passed through the town at least 20 times over the years, on my way to Poprad Tatra airport and the two other international airports in Slovakia. Most cigarettes at around 5euro/pack of 20. Nice food stalls at the train station. New working lifts to most (or all?) platforms at the station. Train station newly rebuild with huge investment, it seems. Unusual - two different halls/waiting areas, one big one, the old style socialist, one smaller, new, close to escalators and said lifts. Town is a centre for local industry and some major construction firms. Sadly, the Vietnamese restaurant at big TESCO - not recommended! Taxi from trains to big Tesco is 4 or 5 euro max.

Ružomberok is an old industrial town in northern Slovakia (during communist times is was famous for the foul smell from its industries), and a place you still have to drive through because the expressway avoiding the city has not been opened yet...and during my visit this meant chaos with three hours waiting time because of another road reconstruction work... However, there are great possibilities for skiing close to the city and a pair of museums (but aside of that not too much to attract visitors)... The beer from its first micro-brewery, Ursus, is unfortunately also nothing to write home about.

An old provincial town nestled in a valley between forested hills. Although only a few streets of older houses remain, it has a special significance in the country's cultural history, with a good ethnographic museum that looks dilapidated from the outside but is excellent inside. To the south-east is an open-air country life museum, which looked promising although there wasn't enough time to visit it. Nearby to the west is the country's first Via Ferrata, an excellent challenge requiring about 2-3 hours to climb up, plus the return walk down. Besides this the hills are full of trails and forest roads for hiking and exploring.

- We come to Zuberec every year during the Folklore festival on the first weekend of August. It is a lovely combination of culture and hiking. - There is a lot to do in every season - hiking, biking or skiing just to name a few. - You can also visit the museum of Orava village and cave Brestova. All in all it is a perfect location to recharge your batteries.

Nice, sweet place, easy to find.

Nice, sweet place, easy to find. It's packed with hotels and B&B's There is a grocery shop and a few stalls on the main square. Also a ping-pong table and man size chess on the square next to the ping-pong table. You can borrow the paddles and chess pieces from there somewhre, just ask at your hotel. We brought our paddles & ball so didn't need theirs. Would be worth visiting the SPA in Afrodita hotel, but we only stayed for 1 night and headed to the Lietava Castle in the morning. Enjoy & have fun! ;)

I visit my family in the Roma settlement called Hlboké.

I visit my family in the Roma settlement called Hlboké. When we tried to take a taxi from the train station with my very elderly grandmother on crutches, the driver refused to take us all the way to the settlement. So it's better to walk/not be old or disabled/not have dark skin. No one in the town, least of all the plaque- and monument-makers, seems to have the least idea of the heroic sacrifices that settlement made for the country during World War II (partisan fighters, concentration camps, mass murder of civilians including my grandmother's parents) and Roma are treated poorly (the town refuses to pave their streets, segregates their children into a separate school, etc.), but other than that it's a nice town.

Jasna resort is pretty big and there's a lot to do.

Jasna resort is pretty big and there's a lot to do. The lift tickets are ~60 euro per day which personally I thought was way too much. I'm just a beginner though and the weather was really, really cloudy while I was there so on better days and a more experienced skier would definitely get more use out of the lift passes. Poiana Brasov in Romania is ~20 euro a day for lift passes and ~20 euro a day for a full ski set so my price expectations are probably ruined forever because of that.
