Really good hostel very well located in Bratisalava. It's five-minute-walk distance from the old city center, which is where everythings happens in Bratisalava. The wi-fi worked really nice, the room and bathroom were clean and the staff was always really friendly. There is a bar at the entrance of the Hostel which is nice to have some drinks and meet people, and the best part is that the noise doesn't keep you from sleeping. Would recommend to friend!
Hostel response:
Wow :) thanks for the rating, we are really glad to hear this! All your friends are welcome here! -

Nice hostel;really friendly staff and really well located if coming with train (train st. 10min away by bus;bus station 50m from hostel).The centre is close and the value is good if u don't take cleanliness really really seriously.

Unfortunately, I was in shared dorm. In the morning when I woke up, there were 2 couples in 2 beds and when I got out of the bathroom, there was a couple making out in the common area. This startled me and I left my pajamas, undies etc. in the bathroom and not to be found. Totally unhappy about this.
Hostel response:
Hi, thanks for the comment. I guess, this one was meant mostly for other travellers - to be more tactful... -

Brastislava and the Downtown Backpackers hostel were the surprise of my European trip. The staff were so pleasant and helpful and the location could not have been better. I arrived from Vienna by boat and made my way to the hostel through the Old Town. My depart via the train station was walkable from the hostel. Jazz night in the hostel was a bonus.
Hostel response:
Thank you very much for your review! We are so glad that you liked it here! That calls for another trip to Slovakia to visit us once again :) -

It is good, except friendliness of staff, comfort and cleanliness of environment and security and good location, they also hold some very interesting even each night. I love the Czech cooking workshop. And also the one hold by Karel, even yoga lesson was cancel by the rain but it is good walking tour to know the beauty of Prague and the trqaditional Czech food is awesome. I love the Czech food Karel recommend. It is so good. And after the Czech Food, the bar is awesome with great guitar and song. It is perfect night. ^^
Hostel response:
Hi, haha thank you for your review, but it seems to me, that you somehow wrote it to the hostel in Slovakia, not Czech republic. Anyway I hope, that our rating would be great as well! :) -
