Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed the entire weekend for a close friend's wedding. The castle/hotel is beautiful! Rooms are big and spacious and decorated in an historical style. Lovely touches throughout the castle. The staff make it! They were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Taught us a few words (not our native tongue). Let us sample local drinks. Helpful day after day and always with a smile. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely website but it starts which your booking. They ask you to pay the full amount by bank transfer before you arrive, and when we went there, we knew the reason. The rooms are old fashioned (we had the biggest appartment), the restaurant is, sorry, but it is just ugly, the breakfast buffet looks like set up in a hotel frequented by tourgroups, no charme whatsoever. We tried the dinner, and we did not go for. Second time, we actually left one night early because of this, we had expected a Chateau with fine dining, well you can ot get it more wrong. After being out for the whole day, the rooms where still not cleaned and made up (as I mentioned, we had the biggest and most expensive apartment) and we decided to leave, just to never return. Could be a noble house, but that needs more professional management and a better designer.

We booked table by phone many days in advance for saturday night diner, when receiving our family from France.Waiter on phone told us that we have to be absolutly at 7.30pm the latest on restaurant as they are full and they need to ensure service. Therefore we came at 7.30pm. 4 tables occupied into all restaurant, within 1 table occupied by people drinking a beer only, leaving after 10mn here. Our table booked was not arranged nither prepared, even napkin were dirty!!!! Chairs on 1 side only... It was us to organiw=ze the table and almost serve it. We received menus after few minutes and choosed quickly main dish. Dishes were well prepared and cooked. Good cooker. Then at 8.30pm, we asked for desert and they told us that kitchen is closed and we can t order anything!!!!!! A saturday night!!!!! And they were pissed when we told them that it s unbelievable that they told us when we booked that it ll be full and we have to be there at 7.30pm when nothing was ready, no one almost there, and they just close kitchen w/o proposing us to order desert by advance! A REAL PITY AND NON PROFESSIONALISM!!!! And price was very high for such service!

Responded 15 Sept 2020
Dear Mr Traveller8071, Thank you very much for your time reviewing our restaurant, it is much appreciated. We are sorry to hear that the experience you had at our place, was not one of the best one you have had as we pride ourselves in providing quality food and service at all times. You enjoyed the food and that is a great news for us and thank you kindy for appreciating our cuisine. After checking your other reviews, quite a few of them were average, below average and poor, most of them, in regards to the service you received, and that certainly doesn’t make you the easiest customer to please. We would like to apologise for everything that made you write such a review of our place, your concerns have been noted, investigated and death with, so thank you for that and for the future we will try to make sure that our customers will always feel great and have a memorable experience, that is what we are trying to achieve with all our guests equally.

We have chosen Grand Castle Liptovsky Hradok for our wedding ceremony. From day one Lenka and Zuzana were helpful and amazing to help us to make our dream wedding to come true. We booked all the rooms and grounds of castle from Saturday until Monday for us and our guests. We arrived on Saturday to check in and there was a sign on the door that grounds of castle are closed for our wedding. Happy days! However, there we lots of guests around which were not our guests. I thought okay let’s wait they will go soon. No, I was wrong. After probably 2 hours after we checked in just before our wedding guests arrived, I complained to Zuzana receptionist about why there are other people if we reserved and of course paid for the castle to be closed. At that time the owner Mrs MACHOVA came to me and went mad at me for asking why there are other people. She told me to mind my own business and not hers as the people who were there were her guests. Even all of them felt embarrassed for her and they told me politely they are going soon. I am not one of those fussy people, I have 10 years of hotel management experience and I would never treat my costumers like she did. Her behaviour shocked me. Once again, we paid quite lots of money to rent it all out for our guests only. There was no need to be rude from her side, she could easily politely explain, and I would understand. Thank god she left next day in the morning of our wedding and we had the best time. I am giving 2 stars poor rating only because of Mrs MACHOVA. As I mentioned above Lenka & Zuzana did such a great job, Dalibor bar manager & Martin head chef were superstars too. I did not catch other staff names, but everyone was faultless except the owner. Moving forward for anyone considering to book the castle as venue please make sure the owner is not around on the day of event because of her selfishness and luck of customer care.

We always wanted to try the accommodation when passing by, and I am sure this was not the only time we have stayed there. The atmosphere is very nice and extraordinary, and the staff very kind and useful. The breakfast is basic, but fresh. Coffee tasty. The whole chateau is furnished very nicely, which makes your stay extraordinary. Our room (blue room) was very big, which was very comfy. The bed was big but the mattresses too soft for us. Which might not be a problem for others, as a lot of people prefer soft beds. But you can see, that they think about every detail, even with the bed sheets. The wellness is a nice plus. It needs a little upgrade (as well as the bathroom in our room), but nothing serious. It is very comfy to spend the evening there after the whole day. And mostly it was empty so it was full luxury to have it only for you. The free castle tour for the accommodated guests was a nice gesture. We recommend it, because it is a special experience to stay there and we will come back.

We had amazing New Year's stay in GrandCastle. Our apartment (no. 1) was spacious & tastefully decorated. The hotel building (17th century Manor House) and preserved 14th century castle give you unique opportunity to travel back in time. Although modern conveniences like sauna, decent size swimming pool, gym are also available. We had pleasure to meet the owner and we admire her passion to restore this place and bring it to its best - Grand Castle indeed. We also want to praise the hotel staff (reception, restaurant) - they are nice and helpful people! The New Year dinner atmosphere was wonderful & fireworks display was 1st class. The location is pretty good too - short drive away from Jasna ski resort or Besenova geothermal pools.

I must say, it has been one of the most impressive hotel stays ever. It all feels surreal and from another age, but also with the luxury of having all the new age gadgets at your fingers. Stayed there for a couple of times and had lunch several times at the terrace. I enjoy going fly fishing on the river Bela, just in front of the castle. It's one of the best places in Europe for trout and grayling fishing. I can definitely say it's the most beautiful river I've ever fished on. And you can have the view of it from your own room. The Hotel is located in an old, medieval Castle and the services are 5 star ! Would definitely recommend as the only place to stay when in Liptovsky Hradok if you consider yourself a bit spoiled.

The stay at this property is more visit of friend´s house than a ordinary hotel´s stay, You can move almost in all castle spaces, everywhere you can find something new, interesting or little bit strange. Every room is different, furnished with original historic pieces of furniture, sometime pretty much unpractical, but pretty much lovely. All stay breathes history, it is something different from normal hotel stay. Yes, there some imperfections, but spirit of the ages of this living building brings to you different feeling from this relaxing stay. Dagmar Machova - the owner of the castle made and continuously makes great job to preserve this castle to next generations
