I don’t know how it will be with snow this year, but for the last two years there was nothing to do in Stary Smokovec. The hotel is excellent, a magnificent Spa center. The breakfasts are good, I don’t advise taking dinners, it’s better to walk around different huts, there is enough of this stuff in Smokovets, be sure to visit Belikova Hut on the mountain, to the right of the funicular (above), order Slivovitz "special" there - thing.

The cost of food per person is 10-15 euros with beer. The food is great, the beer is excellent, especially our favorite dish is Knee. The cost of the lift last year for 6 days is 130 euros. to put the child on skis. A cool instructor for children Peter (a school near the funicular), speaks good Russian.

Yes, I also forgot to say that in Stary Smokovets you can eat in a cafe, such as fast food (behind the Grand Hotel), it will be cheaper. In general, last year we spent 800 euros for three adults in 8 days (with lifts, nothing to ourselves without refusing). And yet, if you like saunas, then take a tour with a paid Spa center, you will walk, at least every day. In general, this is the best hotel in Stary Smokovec.

The hotel is probably the best (Grandhotel), but how much does it cost? I looked - 150-160 euros for two. For Slovakia, this is very cool. The trick is that there is good service everywhere, in any boarding house, and there is no point in overpaying. The hotel where I stayed - now costs about 50 Euros for two. And everything is there and spa and sauna, etc.

You do not look at the prices of the hotel, the operators offer completely different amounts for package tours. And there are no miracles, since the price is cheaper - it's not just that. Who wants to relax comfortably, Grand is the best place in Smokovec. You can save 100 euros, and get a rest on the service worse by an order of magnitude, if you are satisfied with the price of the Grand, do not even think about it.

I just don't agree with this. I'm talking about the fact that in Slovakia there is a high level of service everywhere, everything is clean. In Turkey, this would be the case. I have nothing against the Grand Hotel, only it is the most expensive there, the choice is much larger. Several hotels in Strbsko Pleso, the same Patria, Fis - they are all cheaper. And there are a lot of them in Sokovets. No need to fixate people on this Grandhotel.

No one goes in cycles, but, as far as I understand, people have already decided on a resort and, most likely, a hotel. And about "in Slovakia it's the same everywhere", so you're in vain. In Strebsky, for example, I adore Patria, we rested there 4 times and would still go, but we want to new mountains, but Fis, almost the same money, but in fact in fact, a smelly hostel, only that it is close to the ski lift.

And I do not recommend FIS to anyone. Although calling this hotel "hostel" you went too far. Different people come to this site, and I am for ensuring that the information is as objective as possible, so that a person does not swear later when he arrives in some country. And the objective information is as follows - in Slovakia there are a very large number of good hotels, I don’t know a single “hostel”, and there is no point in paying 160 euros for a room, it’s better to spend this difference on something else. The same Patria costs 90 euros, no more, but it is much better located. No, if people have a lot of money, then they can live in the Grandhotel, but, I think, people like that go to Switzerland or Austria. I am for objectivity, on this site the most important thing.

These are your words. So this is not about Slovakia. About Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia - that would be true. But not in Slovakia. I'm telling you, my hotel costs 47 Euros for 2 people and everything is super there! And 5 years ago I paid 27 dollars for 2 people.

It’s a useless argument, as far as I understand, you haven’t been there for several years, but I go there every year and if I say that FIS is a hostel, then it’s true, even the pool hasn’t been functioning there for several years. Apparently, we have different concepts of a comfortable stay. I don’t talk about Turkey at all, I don’t like it. And you name some cheap super hotel, but you don’t even name it. Don’t you understand that people have already decided on the hotel themselves and are waiting here other information.

Thank you all very much!!!
We have already decided on the hotel, it has already been paid for by us), and we took it to a greater extent due to the fact that the lift and the Spa center are included in the price) "Knee" is also very fond of, we ate it in the Czech Republic)) )
Tell me, what are the excursions from Smokovec?

To be honest, we didn’t go, because we ski and can’t sacrifice even one day, but I know that there are excursions. I would advise you to take a ride to Poprad to the water park, you can even hit the train to Vienna night there, night back, day in Vienna. You can go to thermal springs, to Bratislava. In principle, the operator offers excursions.

You will definitely not be disappointed with the hotel, the main thing is that this year there will be snow in Smokovec. In any case, they will throw cannons on the children's slide and put the child on skis.

tysiania - have a nice rest. Jabetta, it's hard to argue with people who only hear themselves. You read carefully what I wrote and what I did not write. People have decided this is great, but you are trying to impose your exaggerated demands on everyone, and I will not allow this to be done here. I repeat, there is no need to pay 150 Euros per room in Slovakia, this difference of 100 Euros per day can be spent on something else. And there are plenty of other hotels, you yourself confirmed this. And those people who belong to the category of those who do not care how much to pay for a room do not go to Slovakia! With rare exceptions. Be objective, do not impose your tastes on others. Your FIS statement is just such an attempt. For you hostel, and someone will like it. Who is interested in the choice of hotels - on the site that I indicated - there are a lot of them. Who is interested specifically - write to me in personal, I can tell you.

For Lanos: I just carefully read what you wrote (moreover, I even read all your reviews on the blog) - you didn’t read the question very carefully, from here and all this pointless dispute. I personally immediately realized that people we have already decided on the hotel, and most importantly, that they are traveling with a child, and this also obliges. And my requirements are not too high, it’s just that if you have the opportunity to relax with pleasure, then why not? Yes, the Grand is not cheap for Slovakia, but in Austria ( for example) a hotel of this level will cost 4 times more, not to mention everything else (this is about the fact that people who don’t care how much to pay vacation in other countries). And why did you decide that people just decided "ascetically "go skiing? Everyone has the right to choose their vacation according to their pocket and taste.

We were there in 2007. Everything Jabetta writes is correct, it is a very nice hotel. Spa included should be, swimming pool, saunas. Friendly staff. Near the ski lift - 50 meters. About the hut on the right - take Tatra tea there, you should like it :).
The prices were about 10 euros for the lifts (there is a common pass for all lifts) per day per person, like in 2007. I do not think that they have risen radically in price, but the fact that this is not the cheapest holiday is also true. Especially considering the prices for ski equipment rental. However, these are inevitable expenses, so relax, breathe in the fresh mountain air and swim in the pool for your pleasure. The conditions for this are more than excellent. To rest good!
