Good that it was a bar and restaurant in the first floor. With very good prices. On of our sheets was dirty. Nice kitchen area. One of the best hostels we visited.

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.

They have a real nice restaurant/bar in the reception floor, which offers discounted prices to hostel customers.

Stayed a bit long for finding things to do in the town but we had a nice relaxing time in the hostel meeting other travellers, eating good cheap food and enjoying the bar and common room.
