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.

This hotel is a fairytale!
We arrived early just after 12/ lunchtime and sweet receptionist offered an early check in which is usually at 14.00. We were so pleased and grateful!
Our suit was so spacious and beautifully clean! Hallway, little loo, living room, bedroom and big bathroom with jacuzzi!
Food was high end, absolutely delicious and buffet is nicely spread. Huge choice and our taste buds abnormally satisfied.
Only one little minus was the pool. Very cold for me and specially for my one year old daughter. Also spa opening is a bit late (15:00) no chance of having a swim in the morning. But we believe there is a good reason for it. Not to worry, overall everything is excellent and we will be definitely coming back again soon.
Thank you all for unforgettable experience. Wilcox family

We went to the hotel for a wedding and stayed for one night.
many things were positive, like we had our room ready earlier, the food was very nice, at the wedding as well the breakfast next morning. really full breakfast buffet. really appreciate the high-end serving.
on the other hand, when approaching the waiters with a request - e.g. coffee, you get the feeling you are disturbing them. they could learn a bit more the professional smiles and kindness. They were also helpful when we had questions.
pity we did not have time for wellness. :)

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is very well located (near hiking and a funicular). The rooms are comfortable. The hotel is also very luxurious and we are made very welcome. The spa is very pleasant and well equipped; there is even a bar by the pool!
Special mention for breakfast: very, very high quality (the dishes are very fine) and we found (almost) everything!

I visitited Grandhotel Stary Smokovec with my babyboy, and we chose the hotel because of the location, and it was perfect. Everything was in the vicinity of the hotel. The view from the balcony was spectacular as well. We even got up at 5am to watch the sunrise, and we decided that we will watch the sunrise together from this balcony every year :)

We stayed two nights at the Grand Hotel in Stary Smokovec and enjoyed our room and the hotel bistro. The hotel is a great basis for hiking, and the bathroom was very well equipped. The reception personnel was very friendly and helpful. The wellness area was ok. The hotel premises were very clean, and the breakfast buffet sensational!

This is a very good hotel, parking easy enough and check in was informative and friendly from I believe Laszlo(?). The rooms and bar & lounge and lovely. Breakfast was okay, the staff a bit robotic and a normal buffet affair, the only bad thing in the morning was the juice quality- far too diluted and not the best. All in all highly recommended.

Had a twin share room that was extra large with a large bathroom & shower. The spa is great with a bar in it. Breakfast is lovely & the foyer bar has great meals too, if you don’t want too much. Would be great in the ski season as is close to ski slopes.

This hotel is located just up the hill from the train station, and was built around the turn of the 20th century. Unlike some of these old elegant hotels in Eastern Europe, this one is very well kept. Our room was clean, with very pretty fixtures, a comfortable bed, balcony, nice big bathroom. Service was excellent and friendly, with the staff trying to help us out in any way we asked

The hotel also includes access to their pool and three saunas - Turkish, Finnish and infared (all part of a very nice wellness centre). As the hotel is perfectly located for some of the best hiking in Europe, these amenities are very nice at the end of the day.

The only two negatives were the food in the town, which we didn't like much, even if it was cheap. The included hotel breakfast was good and large, but the rest of the food we ate in Stary Smokovec was less than inspiring. As well, they had a nice looking lounge but it was smoky and you had to walk through it to get to the dining room or pool. I know we have a different culture towards smoking than Europeans, but ... They also played tacky music in this lounge that brought down the tone of the hotel. But these are minor quibbles compared to the very good feeling we had staying at this hotel for 4 nights

Answer from M_Fujka
Vysoke Tatry, Slovakia
Ski resort Tatranská Lomnica is 6-7km from Starý Smokovec, another ski resort Štrbskée Pleso is about 16km. Ski equipment and lessons provide each ski resort, employee at front desk will help you at your arrival.
Answer from Marek K

Dear Terry, Thank you very much for your question. The distance from local train station in Stary Smokovec to Grandhotel is just 400m/7min of walk. Thank to a local train there's absolutely no need to use a car especially with our location - the hiking tours can start right from our hotel and closest trail is just 200m from hotel. To see other villages I suggest Tatranska Lomnica and check highest peak of Slovakia - Lomnicky Stit and then to see Strbske pleso (Strbske Lake) with a famous mountain lake in Slovakia. The transport is really easy and even you can rent a bike. Not to forget - if you are coming to Slovakia by train you will have to change the train in city Poprad for a train to High Tatras - Stary Smokovec. Of course, we can arrange for a transport to our hotel from city Poprad. We are looking forward to welcome you. Sincerely Yours, Marek Koumal, General Manager
