TATRYSTAY Premium Arimont Apartments

First Impressions

Walking into TATRYSTAY Premium Arimont Apartments feels like discovering a well-kept secret in the heart of the High Tatras. This four-star property sits right in Štrbské Pleso, and I mean literally steps from the glacial lake that gives this mountain resort its name. The building itself has this clean, Alpine-modern vibe that doesn’t try too hard — it just works perfectly with the dramatic mountain backdrop.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s what I really appreciate about this place — you get a proper apartment, not some cramped hotel room with a mini-fridge. Each unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen (honestly, this saved me so much money on meals), separate living areas, and those floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Tatras like living artwork. The furnishings are modern but cozy, with warm wood accents that remind you you’re in Slovakia, not some generic international chain.

Location Magic

You know what’s brilliant about staying here? You’re literally in the action without being overwhelmed by crowds. The famous Štrbské Pleso lake is a two-minute walk — I’d grab my morning coffee and stroll over to watch the sunrise hit the water. The cable car to Solisko is right there too, so you can be hiking proper mountain trails within minutes. In winter, the ski slopes are practically outside your door.

Mountain Dining and Amenities

The on-site restaurant serves solid Slovak mountain cuisine — their goulash actually tastes like someone’s grandmother made it, not hotel food. But honestly, having that kitchen means you can also hit the local markets and cook your own meals, which I found oddly relaxing after long hiking days. There’s secure parking (crucial if you’re driving up from Bratislava), and they’ve got a small spa area that’s perfect for soaking tired muscles after conquering those Tatra peaks.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.4 rating isn’t just numbers — it’s because this place gets the balance right. You’re staying in premium apartments that feel like a proper mountain retreat, but with all the services of a quality hotel. The staff actually knows the area (ask them about the less crowded hiking trails), and the location means you can experience Štrbské Pleso at different times of day when most day-trippers have left. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Tatras trip before you’ve even checked out.
