Slovakia Hotels

Advantages: Reasonably priced, clean, modern
Disadvantages: Not in the city centre as one might reasonably assume from the name

...It's billed as close to City Centre but this is not strictly true. It is a bus, tram or trolley-bus ride away and will take an average of about 20 minutes to get there. It may save a lot of hassle to take a taxi which at about £5 is a reasonably priced option. The hotel is bright, clean and modern.

The hotel itself was approx £50 per night for a twin room. Not the cheapest in town but by no means the most expensive.

One tip i would give is to avoid the breakfast at the hotel. Theres nothing wrong with it at all, in fact it ...
