Záborie Vacation Rentals

"I was surprised this hotel was not full during our stay. It seemed a great value to me, and the decor featuring extensive wood carving was impressive. Of course we were there during the shoulder season in mid September so that may explain fewer guests. The room opened to the hotel back, so it was quiet. With the window open, you will hear the sounds of the nearby river, which helped me sleep. The room was clean and well-appointed, and the bed was good. The bathroom had a shower (no tub), with quality towels although I believe the towel warmer was not working, or maybe user error. The dinner menu included wild boar and deer cooked five different ways. Mine was excellent. Three of the four hotel staff we met spoke functional English and all were pleasant and helpful, especially “Yanni”. Motorcycle parking was safely behind the hotel and free. Overall, the hotel was a good value and quirky-unique. There is an astonishing trophy room, deer-antlered lighting, paintings, and displayed collections of butterflies and insects. Great attention to detail where animal motifs are concerned. I really liked it all. I would recommend the hotel leave more lights on. I am not used to corridor lighting on a timer where I have to find the switch in the dark at the top of the stairs. Other than that annoyance I recommend the hotel. "

"Lovely little hotel in a lovely part of town surrounded by gardens and a lake, all floodlit at night. Large comfortable room. Good meals. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here "

"I stayed for 2 days in Žilina, the city where my wife was born, and this hotel truly stood out. It is by far the most convenient and iconic hotel in all of Žilina. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, making it easy to walk to the main square, restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. The building itself has a timeless charm and feels like part of Žilina’s identity. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-designed, offering everything I needed for a short stay. Staff were welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations and local insights. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of fresh options to start the day. Overall, this hotel combines comfort, history, and convenience in a way that few places can. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Žilina."

"Very nice place in a cozy little town. The garden is excellent and very chill to spend time in. The owner is very helpfull. "

"Amazing Hotel! Go to the pool and Sauna Just get there early because they close the pool at 9:30 pm and open at 3pm Amazing Amazing .... we found parking next to the hotel and saved as it was free. If not you will pay up to 15 Euro in the next-door parking lot"

"Wonderful location, accommodations, helpful and friendly staff, enjoyable spa, nice room."

"Nice hotel, clean, great location, few mins walk from city centre. Staff very polite and friendly. We stayed in the suite which is their most expensive room but was surprised we had to pay extra to use the saunas, this should have been included. Also the breakfast choice was limited and with not a lot of choices, especially for vegans/vegetarians or like my mrs for dairy/lactose intolerant. We went at 9.30am one day and there was pretty much nothing left(other than bread) Overall we would definitely stay again, staff, the hotel and location make up for it. Thanks!"

"Friendly staff, nice rooms. Convenient restaurant. Good value "

"My favorite thing about this property was the remoteness. It is at the end of the street with a lot of new builds. We were here in the off season, so it was very quiet. The views from the room look right out into the forest. One wall is a giant sliding window/door so you feel like you are part of nature. The apartment is brand new, well equipped, and very comfortable. It sits right along the ski trails, so I hope to go back in winter. "
