Slovakia is located in Central Europe a small, beautiful country with collection of natural, ancient and modern attraction. I have been to slovakia and visited traditional villages and there were impressive ancient architectures which are solid evidences of rulings. There are ancients buildings, gothic churches. In the ancient buildings you can find foreign influences . I was impressed with the design and architectures. The north Slovakia is full of forest and mountains. A friendly resort built on this fantastic lake further encourages you to spend time here.

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and surrounded by mountains. If you go by train, don't miss wonderful views of vineyards on the slopes of the little Carpethians which meet with Danube River.
I Have been there for a month and had booked a room in the Hotel online. Number of Slovakia hotels are offered by stayresslovakia and I chose Crowns Plaza Hotel located in Slovakia.

Slovakia’s accommodations and hotels in Slovakia are good . Slovakia people worked hard to provide nice facilities. Hotels in slovakia are very famous for providing free facilities like massage, fitness center and if you are going for business purpose then they provides the facilities like internet connection, Laptop if Necessary, have arrangement of xerox machine, well furnished meeting rooms and many more facilities.
I have visited lots of tourist attraction places all over the world but when I visited slovakia I was shocked that slovakia hotels provides free parking facility and there are lots of empty space. But at the other parts of the world It's very difficult to find free space for parking.
Climate of slovakia is moderate and is the right place to spend vaccation.
I belive in Online hotel reservation. I have booked many hotels online. But all website owners charges very high means more than actual rate there are lots of variation in rates if we compare from other websites. Online reservation also takes time to confirm. Then I found site stayresslovakia.com which provides at the instant confirm booking at lower rates.
Last time I visited with slovakia with my girlfriend josy. We booked crowne plaza hotel slovakia for 3 days 4 nights. We were enjoying in slovakia and the services by the hotel. We decided to stay for 2 more days. but hotel admin were refusing to extend because of more tourists in hotel then again I contact to the site owner of http://www.stayresslovakia.com/ then Provided us room in that hotel but they did not charge extra.
This is the best thing about stayresslovakia.
I can only suggest you that book hotel in slovakia from stayresslovakia site. other wise there are number of options but every wants best which is stayresslovakia
