When visiting this place, don't use your private car. It's really not easy to find parking in surrounding. And local taxis are quite cheap, so father use them or come by walking. Service and foods are OK, maybe bit overpriced. But it's a good option...when you don't want to experiment. Good quality is always there.More

We ended up here cause restaurants in city center were full (we tried 4).We were hungry and tired after all day trip so we decided to sit here, but then we realized why we could find 9 free sits. The quality of food was below...average, porcions were small and overpriced.And beer-not drinkable.Definetely you can find better place to eat in Banska Stiavnica,but you have to make a reservation in advance during the weekend.More

Hotel Grand Matej has a nice location, great view from the patio and decent service. However, the food was probably the worst I tasted in Banska Stiavnica, and the patio is so overrun with insects that it would be a miracle if some of it...didn't end up eaten. We came here for a quiet dinner, and a quiet atmosphere we got. Despite the large facilities and a nice evening, and even though the restaurant offered a very novel feature - a fire pit where customers could roast their own food, such as sausages, there was only one couple except us. We found a place on the patio with a great view at the New Castle, lit against the night sky. The service was prompt, and in no time we had some wine and placed our order. To our dismay, the food was miserable. One meal was oversalted, and the other was spiced to the point that one could not feel the actual taste of the Chicken Penne Arrabiata. I've had this meal in many other places, and while I expect it to be a little hot, I didn't anticipate the eye-watering, overwhelming taste of the chillies. The menu did not indicate any spiciness, either. As a bonus, we got extra protein in the form of flying ants. The patio is inundated with insects of all shapes and sizes, and the smaller ones freely fly into people's meals and promptly drown. Even though we were trying to fish all of them out, I doubt we succeeded. The server apologized, but admitted that it was a common problem, and that people even got stung by wasps. Even though the patio has a small and attractive playground, we would not recommend letting children there, with stinging insects around. All in all, we were very disappointed with the quality of the food. Even though Banska Stiavnica doesn't have too much to offer, this was still at the bottom, taste-wise. The inconvenience of swarming insects just adds to the extra misery for customers. The view, location and quick and attentive service earns this establishment an extra point, but even that isn't enough to pull it op to an average.More

Given the location and size of this place, it has lots of potential, but is not delivering. We were not able to get lunch on friday, due to private party indoors, while outdoor terrace could be still serviced. Friday night, place was closed. Saturday night,...pre-organised dinner was ok, service very slow and poor selection of wine and spirits.More

Hotel Grand-Matej in Banska Stiavnica is presenting itself as a 4 star hotel. But you will not find 4 star quality there. Not in the rooms, not in the restaurant neither in the wellness. I had an extra large room No 30 with the beautifull...view, but it is all positive about it. Room is furnitured with old and used furniture, bathroom should be reconstructed, toilet cover was broken, bath has damaged paint and the floor is squeaky. Breakfast was OK you could choose from cold and warm buffet. Stuff was pretty friendly but over all if you want to have a pleasant stay in Banska Stiavnica, you should decide for one of many smaller pensions in the town.More

What can i say.. It almost universally failed to meet any of out expectations. The food was bad and the service was bad even for a country where bad service is almost normal. Don 't bother with it

It was OK, had the possibility to choose from a menu of 1o choices, the food was good, but you did not have any choice regarding to move around at the tables, so when you did choose a table it was for good, as for...the next 8 days spent here. I did not really like this aspect of the restaurant.More
