Located in the heart of the old town centre, just a few minutes walk to most historical sights, clubs, bars, moreover only a 10 minutes walk from the main railway station.

| The hostel is beautiful. Great location, 1 min. from old town. They were very polite and offered all help needed...explained all about the city on a free map and even he recommended nice clubs and spots for sightseeing. Nice rooms and special style in a historical building. I would really recommend this place for a cheap place to stay in Bratislava. | ||

| Ultimately, a very good bang for the buck. I had a semi-private room, thankfully. I suspect my experience would have been less positive in the 8 person bunk att'd to my room; it had no exterior windows and got very stuffy during a very hot week. Also, avoid the breakfast. Hostel entrance is shared with a downstairs bar/restaurant and I did not think security was terribly consistent. Staff was courteous & helpful and the on-site bike rental is a great option. Good location as well. | ||
