Read moreWe stayed at the Patria for 5 days in early September. The location is great overlooking the gorgeous Strebske lake and right on the doorstep of some excellent trails in the high Tatras so we had high hopes for the hotel that boasts a 4 star rating. However the hotel itself was a bit of a let down- the rooms had clearly seen better days, the beds weren’t comfortable, and the outlets were improperly placed. The wifi connection didn’t work and we could only get a signal at the hotel lobby. We were also disappointed there was no coffee or tea in the room. One positive was that the room was very clean, which we greatly appreciated. Breakfast was mediocre and so we decided to eat out all other meals. Service was hit or miss - most of the staff don’t speak English and were quite rude about it. We had to practically beg for an explanation on the available facilities at the hotel and rely solely on our own research for trail recommendations. The one redeeming factor was the spa which was really great- lots of different saunas, whirlpools and sitting areas overlooking the stunning views.

Read moreFirstly, when we came to the hotel and asked the receptionist where are the toilets he answered with a question whether we are "consumers". So he basicaly suggested to us that we look like homeless. Secondly, the waitress did not greet us (nor did anybody). The waitress could speak English but she just did not. I am a Slovak, but she just left my boyfriend from Southern Africa aside and spoke Slovak all the time. The food and place was nice enough but I for sure the attitude of the stuff is just horrible and spoiled the whole dinner. Fourthly, we were waiting for someone to ask for a bill so long we went directly to the bar to ask for it. Fiftly and worst of all the waitress did not ask whether we would pay separate or altogether. This made out lives more complicated obviously. As a final surprise she angrily remined me that we were supposed to tell her we want to pay separately.
It is not about the form, but about natural kindness. We both live in Czech Republic and here even in the most forgotten and hidden pub they are simply friendly. Thats all.
That is the basic problem of Slovakian serivce in general. They are either rude or unprofessional. Or both (as...
