Hotel Grand: Three stars... plus !
Alain-d Says: I stayed over there in 2004. It had a... very "communist era" feel (just like hotels I've stayed at in Estonia and Latvia) : big empty room, not cute by any means but functional (even though my then-GF complained about the too-spare nonetheless big bathroom).However, it got...

Favorite Dish: But! We got our 1st beer here!

Helpfulness
The railway station in zilina is a pretty run down looking edifice that desperately needs an upgrade. If you are hauling luggage there are no escalators or elevators. There is a flat sort of rail that makes it at least a slight bit easier. Be mindful of your thing, a lot of not so savory characters congregate near the entrance to the station and panhandle or ask for cigarettes.
The pedestrian area starts across from the train station and will lead you right to the lovely main square.

Outside of Zilina, along the roadside you will find small farmer's stalls selling a variety of cheeses. This region has a strong shepherding tradition and the sheep's cheeses are very good.
What to buy: Sheeps cheeses. The one i bought was a bit sharp but very tasty
What to pay: various prices, as cheap as 2 or 3 euro, depending on quantity
