This place is magnificent.I just went there for my second time and had 4 of the most peaceful days of my life! I had a one bedroom apartment which was spacious and perfect for my needs complete with a kitchen. The gym and spas facilities are first rate, and their restaurant is 1 of the better places I have ever dined at, with an innovative menu featuring all fresh products. The front desk people are extremely kind, bilingual and helpful.

This was our third visit in last 6years. We like atmosphere of Banska Stiavnica a lot and this hotel was our repeated option due to previous good experiences. Accomodation is perfect, rooms are nice and clean, but the quality of restaurant and bar declined. A la carte menu was significantly reduced, offering only few meals really. and also the service was not sufficient (really too long waiting times, also waiting for clean table be ready, etc.). The stuff is friendly and doing their best I believe, but some of them were obviously not experienced and generally, more of them would be needed. One explained that reduced menu is consequence of covid19 pandemic due to which they are suffering from lack of qualified chefs and waiters… which is a shame. I do not think I would reconsider to come back.…

We spent a few relaxing days in this resort with my family. We had two rooms. We had one of our dogs with us, which was not a problem at all. Hotel is located in the heart of nature. In front of the hotel there is a “tajch”, which looks like a lake, with green clean water. There is a small stony beach and a short stag, people were taking a cold bath. The hotel has enough of parking slots. Cuisine is very good,creative, tasty, but the prices are a bit exaggerated. there is a nice wellness, where you can find all you need to relax, swimming pool, massage etc. While we spent time there, there were outside reconstruction works, and that was to be heard in the rooms a bit. There is no air-conditioning. A fridge and safe are normally available in the room. rooms were nice and clean. Overall we had a pleasant relaxing time. Thank you.…

+ Location is excellent in the middle of the Mountains, beautiful lake in front of Hotel. Spa facilities on good shape. Friendly and helpful employees. - Room needs renovation - damages on the walls. Restaurant area to be modified, complete Lay-out makes it not very Cosy more like canteen style rather than restaurant and Mountain View completely blocked. Also that was pity for such price range restaurant to get paper napkins and cheap cutlery.

We spent 2 nights with family there and was firstly amazed with everything there, but then found a couple of things which could be better in 4 star resort/hotel. Here are some things not working very well: not enough waiters during dinner (nobody noticed we left without signing bill to be charged to room - we signed next day by breakfast), really bad coffee during breakfast buffet (instant coffee machine), furniture in bathroom from cheap not solid wood (humidity and water needs to use long lasting materials in bathroom), no towels in price for children under 6. Here are some really good things in resort: pool, saunas were fine, really enjoyed by children, nothing special for adults (only 2 saunas and Gara Rufa fish tank which seems to not be used for a while), activities for family - rent a bike, manual 4-wheeler, hiking, skiing in winter, friendly and young staff, enough space in basic apartment. At all it was a really nice stay but a bit over-priced.…

We spent a long weekend in the hotel with my family. Already the booking was not that straightforward, the staff seemed to have problems with English communication (German didn't work either) which caused some problem when checking in. The language barrier remained, waiters in the restaurant also did not speak foreign languages but at least there was at least a menu in English. The language barrier seemed to make the staff kind of reserved towards us which surely did not help in creating the most pleasant atmosphere during our stay. Also, staff needs more training (if it is not obvious) that you don't shout from the other side of the restaurant to us to confirm our order. The breakfast was pretty poor for the category the hotel is pursuing. The quality of diner dishes was also quite unsteady, ranging from mediocre to high quality. In light of these the price/value ratio was surely unfavorable. To name the positive features: room was spacious and very clean. The kids playroom was excellent and well equipped. Location is stunning, there are a lot of sights and activities around. On the welcome card in the room they said 'Your satisfaction is our priority'. It would have been great to really experience this.…

We (me and family with 2 kids) stayed one night. The pool area with Jacuzzi is in good shape and kept nice and clean. If you are with family there is a nice kids play area. Rooms are spacious, bathroom in good shape. Beautiful surrounding with a great view. The receptionist was a nice guy. Greet us with a smile and helpful. The lady in charge of pool area and waitress in the restaurant also very friendly. Now the bad points. We booked on half board basis and was told there will be dinner buffet. The dinner ended a great disappointment. They didn't offer buffet as we were told the hotel is not occupied enough to offer buffet. We were given a menu card with 3 options for main course. The chicken snitzel was dried and the potato salad was too salty. The soup was ok, but surprisingly they served half of the soup bowl!!! We chose a piece of cake for dessert and it was super dry and I presume it was made month ago. Straight after dinner we had to go out to get something to eat as that dinner was TERRIBLE. As there are not many restaurants around, we managed to find a small pizza place 5km down the village. To be honest I wish, I booked breakfast only and go for pizza in the evening rather than wasting energy to have dinner in Slamandar. While we were in swimming pool the lady asked if we would like any drinks. We ordered 2 coffees. For a 4 star hotel, I expected some decent coffee. Instead we got terrible coffee which is from an instant coffee machine. Charging 2 euros per espresso is fine in a 4 star hotel, but not for instant coffee. The same at the breakfast, there was an instant coffee machine. Come on guys, can't you buy the cheapest bean to cup coffee machine? This was huge disappointment as I'm a huge coffee fan. The breakfast was quite ok, I wouldn't call it great breakfast as the hotel is a 4 star. I recommend the hotel but NOT FOOD. EAT SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE.…

We have visited with my husband to get some relax and this hotel is perfect for it. You have possibility to relax in perfect nature, small lake, the hills, so you can enjoy sport - hiking, cycling, swimming and then relax in the wellness and internal pool. The rooms are nice, restaurant very tasty, and if you have kids they will love it - external and internal playground.
