10 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good communal space and bar, makes it easy to meet other travellers. Rooms are clean, basic but nice, staff fairly friendly and helpful. Excellent location just five/ten minutes walk from the main square.

Disliked: Only one laptop to share between the whole hostel so often a long wait for the computer. I came at a quiet weekend so didn't meet too many people but I dont see how that would be a problem during high eason.

Maxime Gauthier-Lacasse

25 May 2010 Maxime would recommend this property

Liked: Good place for a short stay, although not much atmosphere since everyone only stays for a couple of days at most. I have to mention I was there on a sunday and a monday night, so it might just be that. Could've been a little cleaner, but not that bad. Very old building which makes it look really nice, but a few things are not too functionnal (kitchen not well equipped, broken showerheads, etc.).

Disliked: Maxime left no negative feedback.

Liked: Super nice hostel, not too expensive, right next to the historical center, friendy staff, really quiet in the rooms after 10 pm so you can sleep (it's not the case in every hostel). Bratislava being a great city, I can only recommend the hostel.

Customer review

25 May 2010

Liked: Big hostel, some friendly staff members, bar/cafe not open in the morning which I thought strange, as it would be good to meet people in. Maybe I was just up too early! Nice garden. Relatively good hostel, but having stayed at Hostel Blues already, it was a disappointing on facilities/atmosphere, especially for the higher price!

JULIAN SLOANE

18 April 2010

Liked: Loved the hostel for what it was. The people who work there were only too friendly to me and the restaurant was both cheap and delectable. BEWARE though, my bed was infested with bed bugs and I have over 5 dozen bites on me. I unfortunately can't recommend a hostel that can't keep its beds clean. If they can fix that, then they have it made.
