Period Charm in a historic building
Booked last minute and on the day of my unplanned road trip. Lovely and friendly welcome despite arriving quite late. Hotel is the type of hotel I really like, oldie-waldy, very traditional service, reminded me of a British guest house in the 1960s, lots of period charm.

Very good value; super clean; wonderful location
Very good value; super clean; wonderful location just off town square; good size room. The restaurant overlooking the garden was also VERY good with some excellent dishes (confit duck, grilled salmon salad; sea bass) at very reasonable prices. Totally recommended. E2 taxi to bus station.

What was advertised what not delivered.
Hotel "had" old world charm - wood, wall-paper. Had a great view out window at a local historic place. Hotel was locked when we arrived, had to do some creative thinking to gain entry. Was able to contact mgr who advised us what room we had. Free parking and location was best part. Paid breakfast was so-so compared to free buffets elsewhere. Use of credit card to pay bill resulted in "surcharge". Also tried to raise on-line cost. Hotel needs some TLC and a little everyday maintenance, not to mention room service to change dirty towels. Hotel was eye-pleasing but sucked for pleasant memories, not to mention one dinner we ate there. Locals are pleasant but area is depressed although construction and upgrades are going on. Recommend a visit to Spissky Hrad castle - once in a lifetime experience.

Nice room, friendly hotel, good price. Quiet area but to be expected in the town. Very helpful staff both in the evening and the morning. Rooms 3 flights up with no elevator which was a bummer but welcome to europe. Overall it was nice.

average low 3*
This hotel is in a good location but is very old They have secure parking but the entrance is very narrow and there is a high curb on the right that you cannot see at night as the entrance is on an incline thus a scratch on the car 1st in 30 years. The breakfast is very good in an atrium room but there is no lift to the rooms and the stairs are steep and narrow.

Old, Simple but Pleasant...
I was not expecting too much from this hotel so I did not get disappointed. The entire inside of the hotel could use a big face-lift. The room on the 1st floor (no lift) was OK with a hard bed, a very heavy cover and too flat pillow. There was a smell from the bad drainage in the bathroom that could be fixed by running some water or shower (the shower head in 103 really needs changing) or closing the door. The modern flat screen TV and the minibar (no alcohol) will work when you flip the plug switch by the TV. The Wi-Fi in the room is very weak (they only have 802.11g radio type). I was unable to do anything in the room but I would sit in the cafe till closing (10:00 PM) and surf the web while sipping drinks or having dinner. The food is good, but watch out for the confit of duck breast, it did come swimming in a "lake" of its own fat. Their coffee machine does not make a good espresso. Have it elsewhere. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room Tip: To avoid the street traffic noise (and the heat of the sun), ask for a room on a lower floor facing the private parking lot behind the hotel.

Nice hotel in nice town!
Staff was very busy in the restaurant when we arrived so our reception was rushed. Coffee at breakfast was instant coffee so not what we expected in Europe. The food was good. The room was comfortable and the staff gave us good tourist information. The hotel is close to main town square.

The Shining!
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel! We were the only occupants during our 2 day stay and they put us on the 3rd floor in the attic! No lift, an extremely narrow stair case. On top of this, we were informed by the receptionist that if we were to enter the hotel after 11pm we would have to use our keys us the hotel was locked, due to there being no staff. Despite the hotel stating it had 24 hour reception! The breakfast was quite poor, the bread was at least 2 days old, and had to be toasted! We did not enjoy our stay at all.

Die Lage ist super! Alles in der Innenstadt ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Hotel selbst ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, zum Beispiel war der Griff an der Duschwand teilweise abgebrochen und die Ablage unter dem Spiegel war sehr kreativ angebracht. Alles aber soweit in Ordnung, wir wollten ja nur ein Nachtquartier und die Betten waren bequem. WLAN ging im Treppenhaus und gerade noch bis zur Zimmertür, weiter hinten war es weg und grundsätzlich auch nicht das schnellste. In der Buchung stand, dass der Parkplatz inbegriffen ist, kostet aber 6€/Tag, seit sie den Parkplatz neu und die Stellplätze breiter gemacht haben, hat mir die Dame an der Rezeption erklärt. War aber nicht schlimm, da auf der anderen Straßenseite kostenlose öffentliche Parkplätze sind und immer etwas frei war. Gegessen haben wir nicht im Hotel.

Hôtel calme à la décoration d un autre temps mais idéalement situé dans le coeur historique de la ville. Literie confortable et service correct. La propreté n est pas toujours au rendez vous (coton demaquillant sale). À éviter : la chambre au 3eme étage dans cet hôtel sans ascenseur !

The hotel is situated in the city center in the historical building. There is no lift. Room is quite big, but the cleaning could be done more precious. We had some hairs on the floor in the bathroom. The hotel accepts credit/debit cards but they charge you 5% fee.

Je hotel pro hosty?
Přijeli jsme v noci kolem půl druhé,na recepci nikdo nebyl,nedalo se ani dozvonit ani dovolat na tel.Do pěti hodin jsme stáli před zamčenými dveřmi hotelu.Místo omluvy se nám dostalo poučení,že prý máme jezdit včas.Celkově personál i s paní provozní působil dojmem,že hosté jsou to poslední,co by tu potřebovali.Je to škoda,nebotˇhotel jako takový je velice pěkný,dobře zařízený a na krásném místě

あんまり
予算の都合上1泊しかしていませんが、値段の割にはあんまりって感じでした。ガイドブックに三ツ星ホテルとして乗っていたので、期待し過ぎていたのかもしれません。 個人的に気に入らなかったことは、スタッフの対応があまり良くなかった事、Wi-Fiが弱かった事、最初に部屋のゴミ箱にゴミが少し残っていた事などです。

とも良いです。
お部屋はとても綺麗でした。窓からはライトアップされた丘の上のお城のような建物が見えてとても良い雰囲気でした。夕食をこのホテルで食べたのですが僅か11ユーロでドラフトビールとスープとメインのチキン料理を食べる事ができました。レボチャという田舎だからか値段の割には広くてとても快適でした。 難点を言うと夜には階段の電気が消される事と、Wifiが部屋のある3階までは電波の状況が良くないので下に降りなければいけないところでしょうか。

Aardig hotel in rustig, middeleeuws stadje
Levoca is een mooi oud stadje in het noorden van Slowakije, vooral uniek vanwege de gave middeleeuwse vestingmuur om het centrum van de stad heen. Het hotel ligt in het hart van de stad, vlak bij het centrale plein, en beschikt over een eigen parkeerplaats. Het is simpel, maar voor zijn drie sterren volkomen in orde, de kamers zijn vriendelijk ingericht en de bediening is aardig, al spreken ze nauwelijks een woord over de grens. De ligging is heel rustig en het is goedkoop. Levoca zelf is toeristisch niet erg ontwikkeld, maar er is een aantal restaurants en het stadje is voor een middag zeker de moeite waard. Eén ding om rekening mee te houden: in het eerste weekend van juli schijnt er een pelgrimage te zijn die enorme massa's mensen trekt.
