The definite plus is the price, which is really affordable and includes breakfast. The location is good, close to the park with public transport stops just a stone's throw away. Overall, the property is clean, with the staff cleaning the communal bathrooms every morning. On one floor, there are about 6 rooms and 3 bathrooms. The rooms are very basic, with bunk beds, lockers, windows, and radiators. It's a shame you have to pay to use the kitchen; I've never encountered that before. Breakfast is okay for the price; I would definitely add some yogurt. All in all, a positive experience.

Great location and spacious room. However, they charge extra for pretty much everything you borrow. I was surprised to hear it costs 4 euros just to store luggage, which is something I've never encountered at a hotel after check-out before. If you're okay with that, then it's a recommended place.

Super friendly and helpful staff, breakfast was good and buffet style, bed has curtains so plenty privacy - don’t forget to bring a padlock for your locker! Bathrooms/toilets are private and single person use which makes life easier. Overall, great value for money and would easily recommend them. Thank you.

The best part of this hostel is the location. It’s ideal to move around either on foot or by public transportation. There are enough shower/toilet rooms not to wait in line. Not every single bed is applied with a socket. Check in is at 3pm which I find is a bit too late. Amazing cat comes over from time to time and is quite playful. Everything you can think of can be bought at the reception via card only.

The location is fantastic, just a 7-minute walk from the central station. The cleanliness also gets a big thumbs up. Unfortunately, the service was inflexible when it came to paying the city tax. Plus, the room I stayed in didn't have any power outlets for charging, which was a real shame.

The services is really bad and specially on the hot summer there is no air conditioning system in the room and the room is almost blocked so could not sleep all Nights . You have to pay for everything like towel locker everything overall I will not suggest this hotel unless you confirm the amenities you are getting are available or not.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, First of all, it is important to point out that Europe is currently experiencing historically high temperatures exceeding 40°C. Our hostel has only a few rooms equipped with air conditioning; however, this is not a service that can be booked and is offered strictly subject to availability. At no point do we state anywhere that all of our rooms are air-conditioned. Our common space is fully air-conditioned, providing cold drinks, could be an option as well.The fact that we operate as a hostel does not mean that all services are free of charge — unfortunately, that is simply not how it works. All services and products we offer to our guests are clearly listed and communicated, including the conditions under which they are provided, their pricing, and whether they can be purchased or borrowed.For this reason, we consider your statements to be highly misleading and, in some cases, outright false. Your review once again demonstrates that, unfortunately, some guests remain dissatisfied even when they receive more than what they originally booked.

First off, the location is super convenient, with a bus stop less than a ten-minute walk away. The room itself is very spacious, not cramped like some other hostels. There are plenty of shared bathrooms, and they're very clean and private (individual stalls, no need to share a big open space). The front desk is on the basement level, so if you're staying on the third floor, you might have a bit of a climb. This could be a bit inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage.

The lockers in the rooms don't have locks; you either need to bring your own or rent one at reception for an extra charge. Hairdryers are also available at reception for an additional fee. The restrooms were always available with soap and paper, and there was no issue with hot water.
The key card for my room didn't work well: over four nights, I had to go to reception three times and run down from the third floor in my pajamas through the hostel.

Everything was good, the staff were friendly and always helpful. The breakfast was good, the only thing is that it needed a bit more general cleaning, otherwise everything else was great.

Nice place, clean and good service. Only thing is I booked a room with curtain and bunk bed but in the room i got assigned to one bed in the corner. Luckily the staff changed i for me immediately. Additionally you don’t get a towel lock or even acces to the kitchen. These all have to be bought.

It's probably not the hostel's fault but the area is lackluster and a bit gritty, the building itself has an industrial feeling (not in the romantic sense), and facilities are quite basic. What could really be improved is the service attitude, which was disinterested at best. There's really not much to do in Bratislava and I suppose this hostel is suitable for a stopover when you're traveling by train. There was a cat, which was actually nice.
