Great staff, good price, location fine
Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Pension Aqualand as a stopover in winter.
Pros:
Simple, down-to-earth place with a personal touch and good-priced. The best part = the staff. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and warm. The receptionist, Ms. Dominika (I believe) was extremely helpful.
The neighbourhood was rather quiet and dubious looking (graffiti on wall under rail track nearby etc.) but Ms. Dominika told me it was extremely safe and I believe her. The nearby shops are about 5-10 mins walk away.
There was also a drinking water dispenser- doesn't have to wait for water to be boiled and then cooled to have a drink, great.
Cons:
(major) found some strand of hair on the mattress. I used the blanket to cover it and slept atop the blanket.
(minor) about 15-20 mins quiet walk from main station - beware if have big luggage. Pension Aqualand doesn't have a lift so travellers with heavy luggage (like me) would have to drag your luggage up. The reception is not 24 hours. They only could offer one spare umbrella and one traveller adaptor so be prepared to bring your own.
Overall, there were more pros than cons and I wouldn't mind staying at Pension Aqualand again if I ever be in Poprad again.
