This hostel has a great location, close to the city center. It's got a more chill vibe and not many events, but the bar, kitchen, and common areas are great for meeting people. Mariana is an excellent bartender! When I first arrived, I had to wait an hour to check in because they hadn't cleaned the room yet, so I'm knocking off a point for that. Otherwise, the person working the free waffle day (I forgot to ask their name) also provided great service. If the staff weren't so good, I would have docked another point because having to put on our own bed sheets was ridiculous. You absolutely have to try the absinthe at the bar. It was also great to have tea and coffee available. I'd definitely stay here again for the chill vibe.
This is my first time in Bratislava so I was a bit worried when I realized I would be arriving hours later than originally planned, and that the reception would be closed (closes at 10pm). The very nice person who messaged me about my arrival at Hostel Folks/Folks Hostel was kind enough to check me in, leave the key on the desk for me, and send me instructions for how to get in and which room & bed were for me. I found it all easily, and was impressed by the positive energy and the cleanliness. Also, my room (6-bed room) was HUGE! All of my luggage fit into the locker, and the bed was comfy. The showers and toilets were clean, the kitchen nice and neat, and the room with all the tables is ample in size. I would 100% return to this hostel if I ever have the opportunity to return. Oh, also, there is a stack of maps on the reception counter, and a vending machine in the common room.

WOW-
I was completely amazed by how clean, modern, confy, and convenient the hostel was. The beds all came with a separate locker section (operated by card key) and multiple shelves, and my compartment was able to close off using pull-down curtains.
One of the things that stood out about this stay was the check-in and out processes, as they were fully automated and did not require staff intervention. I was able to swiftly do them.
The staff were also very kind, and there seemed to always be somebody at the front desk, as there was a member at the front desk even at 5AM.
One thing which might be improved are the bathrooms, since the floor is almost constantly wet from the shower section on the further end side of the room.
Overall, I am very satisfied by the stay and if I were to visit Bratislava again, I would like to book here.
I stayed here for two nights in a dormitory room shared by 6 people. Inside the room there are locker facilities and an elevator. To enter the accommodation and the room, you must use an entry code. It’s very safe and privacy is well maintained.
There is no reception area, everything is done online. There are bathroom and toilet facilities, as well as a shared kitchen area and laundry facilities.
The lobby area can be used from 6 AM to 12 AM. Free wifi is available.
The bedroom is very comfortable and equipped with privacy curtains.
The atmosphere here is very quiet and comfortable, and the location is also very strategic and easily accessible by public transportation.
Overall, good services.
