Compare 5 airports near Bratislava I
For the vast majority of visitors, Bratislava "M. R. Stefanik" Airport (BTS) is the primary choice, as it is the only airport physically located within the city. It handles mainly short-haul international flights and offers the most efficient transit to the heart of Bratislava I. Travelers arriving at Vienna International Airport (VIE), which serves the nearby city of Vienna, often find it a highly practical alternative due to its extensive intercontinental flight network and frequent bus connections. While Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) in Budapest is another major international gateway, the transit time is significantly longer, making it suitable mainly for those finding exceptionally low fares or planning a multi-city tour. The remaining options, Graz Airport (GRZ) and Leos Janacek Airport Ostrava (OSR), are in distant cities and generally only serve specialized travel needs. When choosing, consider that BTS offers the lowest transport costs, while VIE provides the best balance of flight connectivity and reasonable ground transfer time. We recommend booking private transfers or buses in advance to ensure availability and predictable pricing.

The breakfast was plentiful, and the location was super convenient – easy to walk to the old town and the train station. The front desk staff were also quite friendly. My only minor complaint is that on the second day, nobody came to change the towels, empty the trash, or replenish the tissues.FromUS$109

This is my go-to hotel when I'm on business in Slovakia. Its location and ambiance are top-notch, and it came highly recommended by my colleagues. The breakfast is absolutely superb, and my favorite part is the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. Plus, there are unique buildings nearby to explore, making it incredibly convenient.FromUS$92

I stayed for 3 nights. My main reasons for choosing this hostel were
1. it has a kitchen: as I’m going a lot of travelling I cannot afford to eat out for every meal so made breakfast, prepared lunches and dinner. The kitchen was clean,modern, fully equipped. There was free coffee (beans and coffee maker) , tea, sugar.
2. location: needed to be convenient to the bus station (15min walk) and the historic centre (5-10mins walk). The hostel was easy to locate. The neighborhood felt safe to walk around and shops are near by (including Tescos). Right next to tram station, though I never needed to use it. There are also some very interesting second hand / vintage clothes shops in the street.
Check-in was easy (24 hour reception). I was offered the opportunity to pay the 10 euro deposit by card or cash. I paid using a 20 euro note, got change ok and the money was left in my key slot thus easily returned on check out. The reception staff smiled and greeted me when walking in and out, perhaps because I did to them.
I stayed in a 6 bed mixed form with en-suite. You choose your bed on a first come basis , though have a key for a specific locker that was large enough to fit my carry on luggage. The room felt spacious and even had table and chairs. Room and en-suite were clean.
The beds each have a power socket and small shelf fixed to the wall though no individual light. You pick up bed linen at reception, make your own bed and put bedding in laundry basket when checking out. The pillow was lumpy and could do with being replaced. Sleep quality was good except one night with a very loud snorer (reception gives earplugs for free). It is winter and the room was nice and warm.
The room has 2 ceiling lights. An area of improvement would be to be able to switch each light on/off separately. The wall of lockers separates the bed area from the entrance and en-suite door and it would be useful to be able to only turn on the light there.
The en-suite was clean and warm (it is November). The shower water was not hot enough for my personal taste but it was not cold. There is an additional toilet and shower room in the corridor for additional use. The corridor also had a fridge.
The laundry room is free: has washers and driers but need to buy detergent. It was my plan to stay in and do all my laundry on my day of arrival and I was grateful that I decided to do that rather than do laundry at the previous place. It saved me 9 euros.
WiFi is free and reliable.
When staying in a shared space the experience is greatly influenced by the other people who happen to be there at the same time. Everyone I met was friendly. The people sharing my room were always respectful of each other. Lights out in the room tended to be by 10pm and when coming in later than that it was possible to turn on the en-suite light and open the door to provide some light to get ready for bed without disturbing others. It was quiet in the room and the only ‘noise’ came from some late night loud voices in the corridor from others but it only lasted a few mins. The soundproofing is not sufficient to block noises from other areas, follow the advice on signs and report to reception if necessary. It is nice that the hostel seems to not tolerate noisy people disturbing others.
I was traveling as single female. In the 3 nights the dorm room was never fully occupied, had 8 men come and go staying for a day or two, and I never felt uncomfortable in the hostel or neighborhood.
This place is good value for money, comfortable, and I would definitely stay here again.FromUS$13

Why not many reviews?? This is a not very expensive, impressive,clean experience in europe. Also position of hotel is not that bad. You can feel like local people! Nature friendly but not many beetles. It is safe from bedbugs ! Also breakfast is excellent.
후기 왤케 적죠? 그리 안비싸고,깨끗하고 괜찮아요. 유럽의 숙소중에선 꽤나 좋았고, 위치도 그렇게 안나빠요. 걷는거 좋아하시거나 다뉴브강,브라티슬라바 성 근처고 로컬감성 느끼기 좋습니다. 빈대는 절대없고,벌레도 거의 없구요. 아침이 한국 뷔페마냥 잘나옵니다 ㅋㅋ

We absolutely loved this space. The apartment was large, the kitchen area well stocked with cutlery/diahes, fantastic water pressure in the shower, and a great laundry facility (two washers and dryers) in the lounge. There is a cafe and grocery store downstairs, which is where we bought our breakfast and dinner supplies. Overall, we highly recommend this place and hope we can return in the future.FromUS$65

The front desk service was very good. I also took the initiative to pour a glass of local Slovakian white wine. The iced taste is sweet and refreshing. There are a lot of small biscuits and juices and fruits in the lobby that you can enjoy for free at any time. Two heart-shaped chocolates are placed on the quilt in the room. It is very warm and thoughtful. Breakfast is not bad. Good sanitary conditions and spare parts are the most I have ever seen in Europe. The location is a bit far from the old town, but Bratislava is not too big and can be reached within 15 minutes on foot. In terms of its price, the overall value, the next time you come to Bratislava will book this hotel (.◝ᴗ◜.)FromUS$91

Overview: nice and super big rooms!
Location: centrally located, 10-15 mins walking distance to most attractions like Bratislava Castle, Old Town Hall, Michael’s Gate etc, tram stations just within 2 mins away!
Breakfast: good choice, particularly impressed when they extended the ending time by 10 mins on a Sunday as there were a lot of new guests the night before who might not have been aware of the ending time!
Service: nice and friendly staff!
Cleanliness: spotless from what I can see which is nice!
Rooms: I thought I was staying in a flat for a second, super big and roomy, with sofa, a separate living area, impressive!
Facilities: good gym, but the sauna costs a bit which is unexpected (and rare, consider it is a decent 4*…) so didn’t use it, and the lobby was a bit dim when I checked in at night, but not a major issue.FromUS$136

I didn't know it was a Starwood hotel when I booked, so the quality was still guaranteed! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was very rich and very satisfied! The only downside is that it is a bit far from the old town, but it is good to walk along the Danube for more than 10 minutes!FromUS$177

My partner and I have just returned to the United Kingdom after having a trip to Europe, the final destination of our travels was at the very beautiful and picturesque hotel. The hotel is very well situated to river and minutes away from the Old Town. The interior is beautiful and the decor clearly reflects the reason why it’s a highly rated hotel. Our room was situated on the second floor and there is a lift for those who overindulge in the cuisine or infamous Slovak wines 😁 the staff are all smarty presented in their appearance and polite, the breakfast is varied and it is self service even the hot/cold drinks, so please bare that in mind if you’re mobility is restricted when dining in the restaurant for breakfast. The only negative I can recall, and this is no reflection of the hotel, the hospitality or staff as it was “other guests” having no consideration for guests still in their slumber or at least trying to be. Guests would allow their room doors to slam closed and guests would talk loudly on the corridor throughout the evening/night/morning. So next time I’d probably request a room on the top floor to avoid the inconsiderate guests 👍FromUS$148

The hotel is not far from the old town and the castle, about 1 km. The hotel has its own parking lot and the charges are reasonable. The room is large and fully equipped, and you can cook your own meals. The girl at the front desk was very nice. After I checked out at 10 o'clock the next morning, I asked to continue parking until the afternoon. She agreed without hesitation, which was great.FromUS$120
