Hotel berhampiran Stefanikova Street, Bratislava I

Very clean and comfortable hotel. Conveniently located 5 to 10 minutes walk from the historic centre of Bratislava. Staff were efficient and helpful. Plenty of options for breakfast. Check in was 4.00pm but we arrived early at 12.30. We asked to wait in the Reception lounge for 5 minutes while they completed cleaning our room then we were checked in. Would definitely stay here again.

Owing to a very busy schedule,I have been too many days delayed in writing this: absolutely the only negative comment I can make about the Falkensteiner is the inadequate bedding- two small single duvets are inappropriate for a double or king bed.A normal sheet ( there is no need for any form of quilt in summer) is required. Otherwise ,I cannot criticise- there was even an actual bath in the bathroom.The room was cool,quiet and well furnished.The coffee machine was adequate for making tea,and the fridge worked The location was ideal for a castle visit,and the old town was easily reached via an only slightly unpleasant underpass.

Don’t be deceived by the photos! The only positive thing we can say about this hostel is the bar downstairs with the evening activities. The main entertainment man was lovely and very welcoming, whilst the other staff looked at us as if we had 10 heads most of the time. We were inter-railing and this was the worst hostel we had been in. Despite there being free washing use, which was great, the dryers were horrendous and left our clothes wet for ages, and boiling hot (untouchable) leaving our room almost as a laundrette. The hostel was at the end of an alley way, so didn’t feel particularly safe, as well as the doors to the room not being great(with force, you could probably barge the door down with body weight). The bedsheets were stained and bobbled and so were the pillows. The showers were small and gross, with hair bunged up around the plug hole. The beds also creaked like mad and the fan was something from the 90s which puffed out less than a breath of air! I would only recommend this hostel if you were desperate and in need of a central hostel in Bratislava- but wouldn’t recommend if you were looking for a safe, clean room!

The location is great as it’s in the very center of the city and you can basically walk to most of the places without even using public transportation. Other than that, there are not so many positive things to say as the rooms are quite small (but clean and with everything you may need even to cook a simple meal) and the walls are so thin you can hear ANYTHING is going on in the next room, and not only that one. On Saturday we couldn’t sleep for most of the night as a bunch of guys decided to get drunk and didn’t care about keeping it quiet (not even after my boyfriend knocked on their door and told them we were trying to sleep, this was around 01:00 AM and they went on talking and shouting till almost 02:00 when they finally decided to go out to keep drinking). The next morning, we told the girl at the reception about it and she said she was really sorry and that she would have talked to her manager in order to give us a discount on our stay to make up for it. Unfortunately, that was the last time we saw that girl (we stayed other 3 nights and she asked us our room number and our contacts) and we never heard from the property till today. In the end it looks like they are sorry for you but they don’t really care or pay attention to their job, when I let them know about our early check-out they even asked me to pay a fee for it because they didn’t realize I asked for an early check-out and not an early-check-in! In another occasion we had to let people in as they had been calling the number to get the door opened for minutes but there was no one at the reception, when the girl finally arrived we could see that what was keeping her from answering was that she was making herself a cup of tea (or whatever she was drinking..).. Definitely they can improve their staff skills when dealing with people and maybe try to look not so bothered by guests because they have to interrupt their personal calls or because they want to have their beverage. Not a pleasant experience and we won’t go back there next time in Bratislava!

This is truly a grand historical hotel almost on the scale of great hotels like the Plaza in New York and the Savoy in Paris, but for 1/10 the price. Great service and wonderful breakfast buffet. The best location with 95% of the restaurants and sights within a few blocks walking distance. If you can stay in the same rooms as Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Arthur Rubinstein, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, why would you stay anywhere else in Bratislava.

The hotel was good, but it feels a bit overpriced as I booked even better one for the same price in Vienna, which is a contrast city in terms of the price. Gentleman at the reception was friendly. Bear in mind that the hotel will charge additional city tax when you move in. The hotel itself was more less clean, but the room was not spotlessly cleaned to be honest. I had some hair on the soap dispenser and some threads in the bath. The bed was a bit small and short, furniture was slightly damaged. The door had old post soviet style of faux leather Ron top and I was wondering why… I woke up at the middle of the night from the screams of the children that were so loud in the corridor for some reason. The sound insulation is not good at all there sadly and the fabric door did not really help. The hotel has nice authentic lobby which reminds a Soviet porch with Persian carpets. I booked 1 month in advance for 26th of December and paid $68, which I think is overpriced, considered the quality and space of the room. If it was cheaper, I’d have given more starts for this review. It is ok for one night if you just come and fall asleep. Hotel needs renovation.

酒店位置極佳，附近就是斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉發的幾個最有名景點，距離老城也是一步之遙，酒店大堂不錯，房間不大，乾淨舒適，唯一值得改進的就是缺一個大點的桌子和椅子，需要用電腦辦公時會覺得不方便。

Nice hotel, clean and well equipped, friendly and helpful staff. Only stayed for a couple of hours before my delayed flight so didn't really have chance to experience it fully.
