        Best stay in Bratislava ”

        first of all, staff / owner is really friendly, helpful and so organised . The place is really clean and modern (most of amenities are ikea products) really big common spaces for everyone, giant TV with PS. Room really nice, located in the heart of old Town so couldn't ask for a better option. According to price, there could be less expensive options in the city but nothing could have this value of money when it comes to amenities and quality, so for me this could be the best option in the city

If I will continue this hall will not seem so big-). Especially amazing for me that very clearly in all reservations.

        Pros: Excellent location, enormous dorm room, excellent storage space (both under bed and good sized lockers), cooking facilities, Playstation Cons: not very hostel-ly (mostly occupied by long-term migrant workers), uncomfortable beds, broken blinds/lack of curtains let in the street lights at night, very limited reception desk hours

        Very noisy in the night because of the club music and tram, even with earplugs you get on the reception, so not recommended for "early" sleepers/ ppl with light sleep. If you're here to party, then you're fine. Good kitchen, showers and living room at your disposal, ask for the hair drier on the reception if you need it.

        I have to say the hostel has been one of the comfortable stay I had recently. Love the spacious and cosy common area making you feel like home. Free tea, coffee and biscuit provided. Room clean and spacious. Staff nice and helpful. Stone throw to the Centrum and other attractions. The only thing that requires improvement is tha it is difficult to bring your cooking to the common room from the kitchen where there is a long corridor over 150 metres between these two areas. All good! Will definitely stay there again if returning to Bratislava (or Vienna - one hour by train away!).

        If you want to have a good night sleep, this is the place!”

        The female dorm was super spacious and had sofa in it. One of the biggest dorm rooms where I've ever been considering that there was only six beds. The AC worked well and the rooms also had big lockers to put your valuables in it. The common space was far enough from the rooms, so if people wanted to watch tv, socialize you weren't disturbed by the noise during the night. You can also hire a bike with 1€/hour. The place is SUPER CLEAN too! The think which didn't bother me, but might bother other people was that you really don't meet a punch of people as most of the guests are doing their own think during the days and go bed quite early. Also you can feel the trams passing by and shaking the floor, but only a tiny bit. If you are really sensitive for these kind of things, this might be an issue. The only think what I didn't like was the girl in the reception on my last morning. She was laying down on the reception chair and was on her phone which is not okay when your work.

        We arrived earlier, so rooms were not available yet. But the staff was so kind and even apologetic for not being able to provide us our rooms earlier. But the best part is, we were upgraded to a deluxe room for 2 instead of a 6bed dormitory!!! Thank you!!! The free cookies at the common area were yummy! Thank you!
