We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very clean and the location nice and quiet. The playground was covered in snow and our daughter loved it! The playground even without snow would be amazing. I would definitely come back here again.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage mit schöner kleiner Sauna.
Je důležité předem si domluvit pokoj s přistýlkami. Pokoje
jsou různých velikostí, tak aby jste se nemačkali v malé místnosti...
Jinak vše je funkční, nové, super lokalita..... - blízko funparku s lyžařskou školou pro děti...
Third time I have stayed here. Always great service and always very clean. Location is superb and views are great! WiFi is excellent and free parking. Also only two mins of the main road so also quiet but great and easy access.
We were really happy with Villa Gardenia. Martina was extremely welcoming and helpful. The hotel is off of the highway, but not too far,, so there wasn't any noise from traffic. The room was very new, clean, and accommodated all us very comfortably. There are decent restaurant options within easy walking distance. The breakfast buffet served at the hotel was very tasty with plenty of options. Overall, this hotel was an excellent value for the cost, and we would strongly recommend it!
Ruim appartement voor 2 personen. Keuken was goed in orde en gescheiden van de zit- en slaapruimte door een muurtje (kleine opmerking: er mochten meer borden zijn).
Fantastic apartment with lovely playground for the kids. Super friendly receptionist. Only downside was it was a bit hot (heatwave) with no aircon but fan was provided.
Very disappointing and warning to everyone else. When we arrived to the hotel 11pm there was nobody. Tried to call multiple times to the number on the door and their ads, but nobody answered. In hotels.com was information that they are 24/7 open. Finally had to search for another hotel, as we got no service at all.
Das Hotel ist super gelegen, schöne ruhige Lage, aber nahe dem zentralen Platz in Donovaly. Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvokommend, alles in allem ein schöner Auffenthalt.
