Hotel Most Slávy — Hotel in Trenčianske Teplice

We'd never heard of this place when we decided to overnight here based on a Slovak friend's recommendation. We were quite charmed by the experience. ||||The art-nouveau-style hotel, once the gathering place for international stars attending an annual film festival held here from 1993 to 2015, is spacious and comfortable, with some quirky decorative touches remaining from its glory days. ||||Our room had very high ceilings, lots of light, and a small balcony with views across the valley's burbling river to the lovely, expansive park beyond it. Many pieces of furniture, once clearly part of a whole-room set, were authentically old, done in a kind of vernacular Arts and Crafts style. Though not complete, the set gave our room quite an interesting look, while also offering a good amount of space to stash our stuff. Even the door was part of the same stylish scheme.||||Throughout the building, we found beautiful examples of the original decor. One of these was a large glassed-in passageway connecting one wing to another, with richly colored panels that evoked nouveau or oerhaps secession stlye.||||The hotel had a spacious, well-appointed lounge/breakfast room, with crisp white linens on every table and quite a nice assortment of delicious foods from which to choose. I gather that dinner is also offered here, but we arrived late and so missed it the first night, opting for a bite at a cafe in the park, and we left the following morning. The dinner menu looked appealing, so maybe "next time."||||Although we did not ourselves use any of these facilities, we noted that the hotel has its own spa, sauna, whirlpool bath, and swimming pool, and tgat it offered massage too.||||The Wi-Fi was reasonably good once we figured out to connect to it. Let me just note that during our short stay, there was no English-speaking person on duty, nor did anyone understand any of the other languages that we speak. But everyone showed good will and tried hard to be helpful, so we managed to bridge the language barrier well enough to do the necessary business, and we exchanged friendly pleasantries when we...

We stayed for a weekend with some spa treatments. Not bad at all, but nothing exceptional. The rooms were spacious and clean. The reception person that welcomed us, was an old gentleman with no information to share with us. He handed us a card with a quite a few abbreviations and time table that we couldn't understand. The next morning we found out that we were supposed to attend a massage treatment at 9:20 a.m. :) Haha. They actually scheduled us for spa treatments without talking to you beforehand. ||||Also cleaning staff is knocking on doors at 8 in the morning wanting to clean your room. And if yo don't open, the keep trying later and later. If you tell them you don't need anything they still push themselves in to give you this and that... ??? But it was rather funny, than disappointing for us.||||The only real disappointment was the breakfast offer. Very poor presentation, no fruit offers, hardly any vegetables and if any, the quality was rather poorer. At 8:45 there was nearly nothing left. Also no healthier bread options available at all. No bacon, no ham offer. Only some cheap processed meat products. Always out of eggs, we always had to wait for some eggs to arrive. ||The way they serve yogurt, honey, jam,tuna and anything really is so funny. They put everything in a salad bowl :))) So you really help yourself with a big spoon, and around 9 o'clock it looks really not appealing and nearly empty. No way to put honey into your tea, as there is the big spoon in the big bowl. The only self packaging is butter, and some spread cheese. Horrible quality of the drinks at the breakfast bar as well. Couldn't really drink the juice, nor the coffee. So sad, that such a hotel is saving money for breakfast bar. ||Also, they serve cakes for breakfast, the same desert that they offer after dinner. Didn't really get that one. ||I would recommend that the owners stay at some other hotels to get the notion of what I am talking about. FYI, the three things any guest need, is good sleep, wifi and...

This hotel is like going back in time to the 1970s!! Where to start:

As mentioned by others, the reception staff are unprofessional, unhelpful and rude. The girl when we arrived was more interested in browsing rubbish on the internet than helping us. The night cover bloke would not even book us a taxi into town (never stayed at a hotel before that won't book you a taxi!).

The rooms are outdated and poorly equipped. There wasn't even room to stand next to the bed, everything is olive green, no amenities whatsoever. Bright, fluorescent lighting. There was no holder for the shower head - it's one of those ridiculous things where you have to stand in the bath and hold it by hand 😣. The 'beds' are simply pieces of hardwood with a thin foam mattress on top.

The 'Wellness Centre' feels more like a USSR internment facility. More fluorescent lightning, no ambience. Insence during your massage?? Forget it. More like strong chemical odours.

We did not dine at the restaurant in the evening. The breakfast was edible, but nothing more.

Avoid...
