Slovakia Hotels

The Devin looks out at the swift flowing Dunja (Danube) over a busy boulevard. The revitalized 1950s-era building contains the best large hotel in the city. The lobby and lounge look like an elegant boardroom (this is meant as a complement), with polished paneled walls, leather sofas, Persian rugs stretching across limestone floors, and crystal chandeliers dangling overhead.

Standard rooms are smallish, but nicely decorated with built-in wood furniture and bright colors. The tiny baths have cut-away tubs so doors can be opened. The best rooms are on the fifth floor and come with a large terrace at no extra charge. Triple-glazed windows keep the rooms quiet (there is a noisy street out front), and the higher you are the better the view. Management and staff extremely personable.
