I have a simple system of rating hotels. It’s called Wife Test. Just two grades: good hotel or other hotel. How does it work? If my wife wants to have SEX there - good hotel. If she doesn’t (meaning we will NOT have sex) - other hotel. Ok what need’s to be there to pass the test? Aha… Clean, clean, clean. Spacious modern rooms, comfortable beds, well equipped bathrooms with bath tube or at least a proper size shower. Nice view helps. Good service helps (meaning you can order some good food to the room) Did I mention CLEAN? And of course me!

This hotel?? Definitely a GOOD one. Driving across Europe we decided among others to stop overnight in city of Żilina. Didn’t book or expect anything great. This hotel was a nice surprise. I guess for Żilina it’s not cheap, double room 100E uppss. We were told years back it used to be popular restaurant/wine bar. Few years ago (as we read with big financial help of European Union Funds) it was reconstructed into this modern chick hotel. We got big room with double bed and pull out sofa. Large flatscreen on the wall. Toilet small but nice and clean, thick towels, gowns, slippers, elegant toiletry. Parking just by hotel. No more then 5 minutes walk to old town square with lots of eating (and drinking) establishments. Breakfast we loved, great quality, chief preparing eggs as you like. All very elegant with Villeroy Boch tableware.

The only minus for us was big construction works done opposite the street. Those guys working from 7 till 24!! (no any unions there??!) However after closing windows it was ok, no noise (and air con working fine). And the fact that there was almost constant (17-22) happy hour in the bar (order 1get 2) would make up. We were pleased with the stay and would definitely come back.
