더 그랜드 비글라스(Hotel Grand Viglas)

Beautiful restored castle with a lot of ambiance and spectacular surroundings. Would have been a perfect stay except that WE WOKE UP THE FIRST MORNING WITH NO RUNNING WATER! The staff explanation was: “Yes, there is a problem with water in the village, it is off. I’m sorry.” It was running again that evening. The restaurant is good but the breakfast is cafeteria quality.

This hotel was one of our highlight stays on our 1-month trip to Europe. Such a unique and fun experience. It is so much fun just exploring the castle, including the interior and exterior, with lots of photo opportunities. I liked the important touches like decorative deer skulls, little gargoyles on the exterior, medieval pillory, etc. Take your time to explore! We were interested in using their amenities, but there were too many screaming children. They even have a little gift shop at front desk, where I got myself a red cross knight figurine. The stay included a breakfast buffet, which was great. If you don't want to eat dinner there, go down the hill to the little town. We ate at Motorest na Rožku (address: Zvolenská 576, 962 02 Vígľaš, Slovakia), and it was a great way to eat like/with the locals! This was probably the cheapest restaurant experience we had during our European trip, and we enjoyed it. With the The Grand Viglas, I wish I had known about the Dracula room, which you can book. Look it up on their website. Curious to see other reviews that involve a stay in that room.

Huge place that looks like a medieval castle The rooms are large, spacious and clean Breakfast very nice Also nice little pool and hot tub. In the evening there was a love band in the central courtyard and We had dtinks outside which was great. Only small downside was the gym which was disappointing. One ancient tiny treadmill that was broken, on pair of dumbell weights, etc. Not on the level of the rest of the facilities... Nice pleasant hotel.

They forgot to give our passports back. And when we checked out and payed for everything even then she didn’t notice the passports. Big mistake from a “4 star hotel”. So left in the car stressed and the trip was runned.

Amazing restoration of a castle. Comfortable and spacious room. Breakfast was ok. Plenty of parking.

We always enjoy staying at the castle.

Unique experience. Clean. Delicious breakfast.

Great place. Very nice people. Food was excellent. Room was comfortable and outside you can find beautiful garden.
