    Overall, a budget-friendly stay with good basics.

    - Close to a big street, so it can be loud in the morning (but quiet enough at night). - Fridge makes some annoying noise. - Walkable from the train station, but the area around it is industrial area and doesn’t feel nice. - Not very close to the old town. - Reception staff was kind but doesn’t speak English. - Towels were not provided at first, but could be requested.

    - Cheap and definitely worth the money. - Bathroom is nice, spacious, and has a window. - Very close to Big Tesco (open every day, even Sunday). - Cute giraffe bed sheets. - Room has two chairs. - Clean enough and acceptable (not like some comments suggested).

    The room was spacious and had a private bathroom, but it wasn't exactly clean. It was hot, and there was no fan or window screens. It cooled down at night, so it wasn't a problem. The kitchen only had one working electric stove, the frying pan was large and dented, the old pots were missing lids, and there were only a few dishes, so you probably wouldn't rely on it for cooking. Still, it's not a bad place to stay for just one night.

    Not really anything bad to say about this place.

    The location is really close to the train station and they let me store my bags after check-out. It is also quite close to the centre of the town and supermarkets. The staff were quite friendly and the room met my expectations.

    Overall, everything is fine, but it somehow reminds me of a Soviet dormitory.

    Easy to get to, there is a place to park a car. The train station is nearby

    The noise from the outside road and train station was too disturbing even in the night as the old window frames were unfortunately not soundproof.

    Bathroom was quite big and all the heaters were working properly so it was nice to take a shower there.

    Wifi signal didn't reach my room. I had to go inside the main building to be able to work on my laptop. Room was extremely hot even with the window open. A fan would have been helpful.

    15 minute walk from the train station. Check in was easy and fast. Room was small but had everything I needed, including a mini fridge. Good pressure in the shower and clean bathroom. Bed was comfortable too.

    Located close enough to the railway station, but in a spot not served (well enough) by public transport. The door of my room led directly onto the street, and the door is a cheap plastic one that doesn't close tightly -- in winter you might be screwed. There is no WiFi password in the room -- remember to look it up at the reception.

    Both the fridge and the radiator work well. A private bathroom, which is quite rare in this price range.

    bit of noise from passing trains, nothing too bad, though (especially when you fall asleep)

    Close to train station in Zilina, clean and fuss-free, apart from the usual Slovakian form-filling-chore (who you are, where from, Passport Numbers etc).

    The location wasn't great because of the nearbye train line. Loud trains were passing through the night and woke some of us up.

    Cheapest overnight stay in Zilina. Had free parkjng but it was quite busy although plenty of space beside the street. The rooms weren't bad but don't look under the bed it wasn't vacuumed in a while.

    got a room with shared bathroom though I booked a room with my own bathroom (staff communicated this mistake very politely though and I agreed to the change) - the shared bathroom was...well, yeah, not very clean and I had to overcome some inner demons to take a shower :D I gained a new life experience but wouldn't repeat it

    great value for money - the cleanliness in the room was ok - ok for 1-2 nights

    It was a bit uncomfortable that the receptionist didn't speak English, but she was friendly and we managed all questions :)

    Friendly accommodation for a small price. The direct neighborhood is not so nice, but it takes less than 10 minutes to walk to get to the bus station, railway station, and the city center.

    Most of this will be splitting hairs because its a cheap place to stay! Very basic, rooms didn't feel at all homely. Would have benefited from a cheap plate, bowl and cutlery considering there was a fridge. Curtains didn't shut much light out, and in fact barely covered the window and made the whole room glow orange. Basically on an the edge of a big industrial estate which means you're away from the centre and it doesn't feel the safest walking home after dark. Shower mount was a little strange (shower sprays pointing sideways). Basically don't stay here if you want to spend significant time in your room!

    The price was ok, great location for the bus and train station for getting out to the Malá Fatra and also for shopping at the local Tesco. Easy enough to get to the river for running. Pleasant views of the hills across rail yard. Being next to the rail yard and factory was quite cool but not to everyone's taste. Having a room fridge was really good!
