Hotel Sorea Titris — Hotel in Vysoké Tatry

We used this hotel as a base for several nights. It’s some distance from the train station so if you are arriving by train with luggage you will want to get a taxi. There are various paths you can cut across to get to the centre/railway station without using the main road. The hotel is constructed on a curved L shape with the bar and dining area on the short end. All the rooms are on the same side looking towards them overlooking a large lawn area, which was very popular with young fieldfares when we visited. Adequate breakfast but avoid the orange juice out of the machine at breakfast – it was like orange cordial rather than fresh juice. It was 10 euros per person to partake of the buffet evening meal if it was not part of your pre-booked package. We tried it one night to avoid the walk into the centre but found it disappointing. The food was only lukewarm and the only vegetables other than potatoes were those in the salads which of course were drenched with vinegar – too bad if you have an allergy to it. It took a great deal of effort on my husband’s part to persuade the staff on duty to give him some salad without the vinegar – customer service was not high on their skill set! The hotel was fairly peaceful (but noise does waft over from any activities at the nearby sports fields) until the group from hell checked in. It consisted mainly of women in an over-excited state who were there on a company team-building exercise and who did not know how to behave considerately towards other guests in a hotel with loud conversations and shouting in the corridor at all hours. The corridors were long and straight so the sound carried. At the end of each corridor there was a door on to an outside balcony where you sit and smoke. Too bad if like us your room was near there as there was much door slamming as people went for a smoke. The hotel did not help matters by providing a disco for them in the dining room, noise from which could be heard until the small hours. The weather was hot so it was a choice of having the window open and letting the disco noise drift in or sweltering in the room...

Spend there 4 nights as a part of our winter holiday. It's our 2nd stay (previously we were in the summer few years back).||Hotel is located few mins by walk from the rail station, easily accessible by walk or by car. There's a free parking for guests available.||Check-in/check out quick and efficient, no need to wait, just as it should be. The reception staff did their best to speak various languages so it was very appreciated.||We had a stadard room which wasn't very spacious for the family of 3 (bigger suites were not available). Also there was a bit too warm in the room, so we needed to work on this a bit. The rooms are not the newest ones, but it's absolutely clean there.||Breakfast/dinner - not an exceptional but still good. Reasonable selection of various dishes - every day there was something different/new available, so everyone could easily choose something.||The hotel offers 2 hours swimming pool/spa visit per stay. It's still good, but I would expect such offer to be available every day.||There's an overall a bit "old-fashion" feeling there - it's like to be back to the 80's/90s. Well, you can't have all the new hotels everywhere ;)||Overall - a decent hotel, good enough if you need a few-days...

Came here on a dreary February afternoon, to find something to occupy the kids, but we were not guests at the hotel. Seems we were not the only ones as the place was rammed.||||This place wasn't cheap and you had to decide whether you were coming for 1 hour or 2 hours up front, and whether you wanted just the pool, just the sauna or both.||||The changing facilities and pool area itself were clean.||||The pool complex consisted of a heated leisure pool with a small slide (which was only open for short stints), Jacuzzi type seating in one corner, a couple of water jets, and the smallest lazy river in the world. This lazy river was basically a cylinder about 4metres in diameter. Again, this only worked for short stints, and when it was on there were 20 plus people crammed into it.||||The other pool was a standard rectangle swimming pool and was much cooler and so a lot emptier.||||The staff were grumpy and more typical of eastern Europe ten years ago. ||With places like Aqua City in Poprad for not a whole load more, I would definitely give this a miss. However, if you get free or discounted entry as a hotel guest, then...
