We had an amazing stay at Vila Polar. The location is perfect — just a few steps from the train station, restaurants, and wellness facilities, with beautiful views from the room. The staff are exceptionally friendly and genuinely welcoming, offering proper Slovak hospitality with warmth and kind words at every encounter. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfasts are well worth the extra charge — a generous buffet with tasty homemade tea. Our stay exceeded expectations, and we would like to thank the staff for their attentiveness and hospitality. We fully recommend Vila Polar, as we would book it again for our next stay at the High Tatras.

Here's a paraphrased version of the hotel review: "Villa Pilar is a fantastic choice in Štrbské Pleso! It's perfectly located with stunning views, offers a delicious breakfast, and has a friendly host. The rooms are spotless, and it's a great value for the price. I'd definitely stay there again!"

Due to train delays we arrived 2 hours after check-in officially ended. We phoned the hotel, and the lady not only waited for us, but when we finally arrived welcomed us very warmly! Thanks to the great staff we felt extremely well here. Apart from that: breakfast was delicious, the view from the balcony very nice; very quiet neighbourhood, although near the railway station (from there it's only a walk of 5 minutes)

To our surprise (and although there would be ample space for it) a small fridge is missing from the room. Most people prefer it to the shared fridge on the ground floor.

A comfortable room in a nicely renovated, clean building. The location is very good, at approximately 10 mins walk from the centre.

Vila Polar has an exceptional location and views of the mountains. We received a warm welcome; all our requests were met. The room was new and clean, and the breakfast with a wide selection of continental food. The rooftop bar is so homy with a fireplace and nice service, good selection of wines. We liked the place and will return!

It is excellent value for money. Family business with great breakfast, parking and a very nice cafe at the top floor where one can relax and enjoy the views...

Breakfast could have more options.

Stuff is just superb, very helpful and always available. Location is just perfect close to restaurants and spa but also very isolated so no noise.

Excellent place to stay for a few days of hiking. Staff was friendly, room was comfortable and the Polar bear theme was delightful.

The wifi was not so fast and stable - they have several hotspots, but probably with a not good location, or they can interfere each other.

Nice, comfortable accomodation in High Tatras, in the location of Strbske pleso, near the lake, restaurants, train station. Room was nice, clean, quiet. Breakfast was very good. Very nice panoramatic view from the bar under the roof. Especially, I want to appreciate the personnel - they were so kind, friendly and hospitable, that you can feel like you were home with the family.

Breakfast was really good, there were a wide range of selection. The receptionist ladies were super nice and helpful! The location of the hotel is really good, close to the train station and to the lake. The hotel room is comfortable.

It’s a 5 minute walk from the train station. The views are great as the hotel is constructed in a tower block type structure - in a good way. It’s walking distance from a number of hiking trails. A good breakfast & friendly staff.
