The staff was really helpful and friendly. Fluent English. A hotel up to date (with tablets for ordering instead of paper menus, roof cooling instead of normal A/C's).

Pretty hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. The stuff were very friendly and helpful. We got 20% discount for dinner at their small and cozy restaurant and we were allowed to have our little dog with us while eating. 😍 The breakfast was basic but fresh and tasty with enough choises. Also you get access to the parking cameras on one of the TV channels. Instant coffee and tea available in the room. Overall very good value for money. Definitely will stay again for the third time 😊

The commodities in the room were really great. The mini bar is really cheap, no reason to be afraid of that. The bed was very very comfy, and the AC worked great.

We liked everything. Hotel was extremely easy to find, and we found free parking just across the street. Room was great and impeccably clean, bed very comfortable. We were traveling with our son who is 4yrs old and there is a very nice childrens playground just about 100m away. After he spent whole day in the car it was a great thing :) The neighborhood is nice, seems safe, and bus stops are close. Breakfast was excellent, there was something for everyone and everything we tried was tasty. Would definitely come again.

“A decent hotel backup to the 4-5 star Bratislava hotels”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
The mosquito's when the window was open. The restaurant and stairways could be a little bit brighter. The smokers sitting directly in front of the hotel reception door please move them away it stinks if you are not a smoker.
The friendly staff and the fantastic chef who cooked some of the best food I have eaten in many years. The hotel is close to the stadiums for sport and a 5-8 euro taxi ride to the city centre. The room was very big as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well except the first night. I had the window open as there was no AC and was disturbed and bitten by mosquitos. The hotel fixed this issue by putting mosquito deterrent devices either side of the bed, it did mean the window was closed and made the room slightly hot. I slept on top of the bed and it was fine. The hotel would get 10 from 10 if the mosquito issue could be resolved satisfactorily. It was very good value for money. I am sure the chef is one of the best in Bratislava, I ate twice in the restaurant and the food was superb each time.

“Cheap but uncomfortable”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
1. The staff was unprepared. We have a small baby. My wife asked the waitress to turn off the air conditioner for the night, and she answered that she could not do it; the waiter at breakfast time was just a a bit rude; 2. The parking of the hotel is not free. On the contrary, it is very expensive (10 euros). It is free to park in the streets nearby the hotel, and this can turn very uncomfortable, if you have a big luggage; 3. The rug in the room was very old, stinky, bearing burns of countless cigarettes. The bathroom was in better condition, but the screws of the furniture need a couple of quick turns;
The strength points of the hotel are breakfast and price. Considering how prices soared in Bratislava, it is still a good choice for people travelling and just passing by. However, if you plan to stay more than one night, or you have a baby, you could consider a more comfortable structure.

Air conditioning was nog the 'normal' type, but a ceiling one. A little folder in the room explained how this should be better by spreading less bacteria. In practice, it did not work properly and we could not cool the room other than by opening the window at night.
Friendly staff, nice location and free parking on the street.

Since traveling with a tiny baby the big double bed was not big enough (narrower than the standard). No fridge & kettle in the room. Even though I appreciate the attitude of the management to employ people of other nationalities, it should not affect the quality of the service, unfortunately this was not the case.
Nice breakfast however you get to cut your own vegetables (in order to have them fresh)
