Perfect hotel in the heart of Slovakia

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Jul 2024
This hotel is a great surprise for me. I did not except such complex hotel in my country in this price range.
We travelled as a family 2+3 for a weekend stay. The nature in Donovaly,Slovakia is great, but it is very hard to find a hotel that doesn´t ruin the whole holiday experience.
But this hotel makes it even better. It is rather small, maybe 50 rooms or so. Rooms are a bit small, but the hotel makes it up by offering SO MANY activities.
As the name suggests, the main attracions are he many sports you can enjoy - of course skiing, snowboarding in winter, but also hiking, mountianbiking, tennis, basketball, football, and also paraglinding from the near hill.
The restaurant in hotel is great, quality cuisine. They also have a wine room, bar for adults and great limonades for kids.
Room was very clean, with new furniture.
In the evening you can enjoy a quiet stay in the hotels garden.
But the best experience is the spacious wellness area. Saunas, massages, pools, kid´s pool, and a tepidarium...I wish we had more time to enjoy this place.
For kids there are attractions in the garden, some animals, jumpcastle, swings...
I strongly recommend this hotel for your stay in Donovaly. My family sure will return here.

I have mixed views about this hotel, some aspects were excellent but others poor for example the play room for my three children aged 8, 5 and 3 along with the all day and night entertainment was excellent (has to be parent supervised). Parents can enjoy a quiet drink while kids are entertained. However, the room was very disappointing, we found a travel cot along with the two beds and so had to pinch a bed from our friends room for our 3year old which then left only a very small walkway through to our double bedroom. The bathroom was tiny and could only be accessed through the kids room. Not comfortable for a weeks stay with a family of 5 and lots of ski wear. The cleaners didn't even make the beds or change the glasses some days. On the plus side the food for the adults was on the whole very good, but the choice for children at dinner was poor, all 4 children lived on bread, rice, sweetcorn and pudding for a week! The pools were also great for the kids. It didn't help that the much bragged about kindergarten at Patty ski was closed, we still don't know why as there were a few runs open and there was snow so we had to spend more time in the hotel looking after the two smaller children.

Stayed the for two nights. Nice breakfast. Nice indoors swimming pool. The hotel is very children friendly, but Slovakian is by far the spoken language. There was a problem getting cold tap water, and the front desk staff offered cold water from the restaurant.

Visit this hotel just to use the swimming pool. As we stayed in a private property nearby. It's a only swimming pool in Donovaly so there was no choice. Coming in with 5 year old boy and charged 32 euros to go in swimming pool! As they sell you a package 3 hours spa experience where u can use saunas+swimming pool. Could be excellent for couples to enjoy the time, but please how you can charge this price for one hour just visiting the A TINY swimming pool max 7*3 metres.Try to deal with receptionist but she was only repeating herself saying this are charges and we cannot reduce or give discount. Such a shame!

The hotel is one of the quality hotels in the Tatra mountains. The staff solved all our requests; the room is not that big but still comfortable. The breakfast was fine. I plan to visit it in the summer too.

I would very much recommend this hotel. Clean, cosy, small, I simply loved it!! Perfect for family with kids as they have indoor/outdoor playgrounds. Me and my family felt really great last wkd here.On Saturday night there was this grill dinner outside. It was such a cosy atmosphere:) really great. One bad aspect though - we went for a late check out as we wanted to let the kids play outside and have their nap time too but we were not announced the restaurant will not serve lunch. Don't know if it's a Sunday rule, but it would have helped to look for another restaurant in time.
