Penzión Lesnica

Eastern Slovakia


A no-frills bolthole in an attractive wooden building, Lesnica offers nine double rooms, a studio and a two-bedroom apartment. Rooms feel a little dated with their lime-green feature walls and jazzy teen-bedroom linens but they all have balconies. It's a comfy, clean option in the park's picturesque northeast. Bring your dog for an extra €5. All room rates include breakfast.

The attached restaurant is one of the best local places for a Slovak repast (mains €5 to €19), its fulsome menu spanning the usual dumplings, game slathered in cranberries and sizeable steaks.
