I arrived too early to check in, so I just left my bags at the hostel storeroom. Checking in was pretty straightforward. One of the staff showed me the room and the facilities. When I booked the room, it clearly said the bathroom was private and it was private only in the sense that it was only used by the room guests. The bathroom was not ensuite, but in another room, separated by the kitchen. So you have to exit your room, walk across the kitchen, then use the bathroom. There’s also only one key for the bathroom. There’s no separate bathroom and toilet. When the room is filled with six guests, there can be a wait, especially when the girls are doing their make-up.
The bed comes with privacy curtains, personal lights and multiple electric points. The bed was the wooden type, but surprisingly sturdy as I did not sense my bunkmates. The bed was comfortable beds, the covers cosy and I slept beautifully the whole stay. The room also had a desk and chairs to sit, and work on.
The hostel has a small, but perfectly usable kitchen area with plenty of clean pots, pans, plates, cups and utensils. There’s also a table with I think 8 chairs. The kitchen has a small fridge and there’s enough space to store some food for cooking. The hostel provides breakfast, which was basically coffee or fruit tea. The coffee was awful and universally abhorred by every guest I spoke to, sorry!
The hostel has laundry facilities, but only the washing machine works, I think the dryer has been broken for some time, so each room comes with a clothes airer, which works fine.
The location was great and easy walking distance to old town. Also close to the hostel is one of three main bus stations in Bratislava. It’s useful for buses to Vienna, Budapest and a day trip to Devin Castle
The hostel has Wifi, which was fantastic, fast and reliable all the time.
Overall, I had an enjoyable stay. The staff were great, really friendly and very helpful.
