Arrived early and got shown straight to our room which was actually the penthouse, a nice surprise. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was ‘ok’, nothing special. Also, our room was a tad too light in the morning. That said, I’d definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Shower pressure excellent!

Choose this hotel for the shower pressure alone as best so far and have been travelling for three weeks through the Balkans. Very serious reception ist and the breakfast staff had limited English speaking but this did not matter as it was a help yourself buffet and the eggs were great (softly fried almost poached). Decor needs changing as it is a study in shades of brown (even the toilet paper) and plants need planting outside breakfast room rather than almost blank walls. Only non-English speaking clientele when we were there but didn’t matter. Very quiet room overlooking neighbours’ courtyards. A few of blocks away from the old town and the other direction is a brand new huge shopping centre - just don’t go into COS if you are a tourist as the security guard trails you around the store if you are wearing walking shoes (they were $250) with blon d hair and don’t look Sla vic. Typical European firm king size bed and we took our own top sheet though used the bed spread rather than our cashmere travel throw as summer and we don’t like thick doonas, and typical European non-fluffy towels. Very clean but only one conveniently placed power point for the phone charger. Fabulous large feather pillows.
A study in brown - king firm bed with great feather pillows
Courtyard view overlooking neighbours was quiet - not sure if anyone lived there
View of neighbours tre and bird sound lovely

Spent 2 nights to explore Bratislava, and enjoyed our stay. Convenient for walking throughout old city center, to Twin City ferry terminal, and public transportation. Street outside hotel is somewhat busy with noise late at night. Room was comfortable and breakfast was very good. Overall, a good stay.

Maybe a nice hotel a while ago….

Bit of a last minute trip for work so can’t say whether we received good value for money as most hotels were quite expensive at the time. It’s clearly aimed at the business market but the rooms and public areas are showing their age (albeit very clean). The pillows on the sofas for example in the reception area are completely flat and look quite funny! We had a suite which felt quite bare with no artwork on the walls and air conditioning that had no discernible effect on the unbearable temperature of the room (BTS was in the late teens at the time so not hot). Given the standard of room it was quite noisy from neighbours above and below - there were dogs in the room next to us to complete the experience! The shower tray had no fall on it so the bathroom flooded and it all felt a little dated. Breakfast was basic at best and the bar was closed at 8pm when we came back from our evening stroll. It’s a shame we can’t be more positive as some of the staff were very friendly but on the basis of the room, I cannot recommend this hotel.

The location is good and you can walk to the old city in a few minutes but that’s about it. The breakfast was an absolute disaster. I was not able to have access to the bar or the sitting area twice, because they have “ a private function “ ! So, I paid a high price for my room for this hotel category in the low season ( December) but I wasNOT ALLOWED YO USE THE COMMON SPACES BUT OUTSIDERS WHO DON’T RESIDE IN THE HOTEL CAN !!! I will never go back or recommend it to anyone EVER. I was misled by the information on the booking site. Very, very disappointed.
