Hostel Folks — Hotel in Bratislava

Due to the location being directly above a night club that stays open until 6:00 AM and plays loud bass and music with people screaming outside all night it was impossible to sleep or even relax so I spent all night and early morning in constant uneasy state listening to techno/rap bass that was designed to keep party goers awake. I stayed. 2 nights in dorm and 1 in a private room. The facilities are clean and comfortable during the day. The 8 bed dorm is bearable but still loud at night but it's far enough down from the club downstairs that you can't really hear or feel the bass. Although if any of the windows are open in the room it can be extremely loud. Drunk people literally screaming. I found earplugs helped a bit but probably not good enough for light sleepers as I'm a heavy sleeper once I can get to sleep. It's also right next to the main road with tram route so the tram rattles the entire building throughout the day and early night. The washer and dryer they use is in the hallway so you can hear that as well and for some reason the staff dryer was running at 3 am and making loud noises. During the weekdays maybe this place would be suitable to stay at because the club may not go so late but if you are booking the weekend be cautious as no ear plugs will prevent the bass and outside sounds from keeping you awake. Also the hostel could invest in curtains for the windows because the street lights are very bright and let so much light into the room at night that it never gets very dark in any of the rooms. Plus they keep the lights in the hallway on all night and cannot be turned off bc there is no light switch so it lets a lot of light into the room because the door has glass panel for some reason. I fortunately had a sleep mask but not ideal or comfortable to sleep with it on.

What the hostel could do better? Be transparent about the noise and bass from the club. Don't even book the rooms above the club on weekends or when the club is even open honestly. If someone does want the room to sell it at such a cheap price that makes them not feel taken advantage of or ripped off. However, had I known what the private room above the club was going to be like or even knowing it was directly above the club when I booked I wouldn't sleep in it for free. Maybe others will if location matters more to them and plan to be out till 6 am every night. But in that case you might as well stay at one of the official party hostels. I initially stayed at this also cuz I thought it was going to be quiet and chill. Turned out to be the opposite unfortunately. Also another thing that bothered me is they have very older men there that kind of do some weird things I can post a video to explain. We notified the receptionist but they didn't do anything about it. One of the guys was doing this at 5:00 AM in the morning and woke everybody up...

Amazing hostel with such great service and atmosphere! Highly recommend coming here if you want to stay in the center of everything.

They have a couple of private rooms if you want to share with a friend or couple. They have have a 6 bed dorm and an 8 bed dorm. They have 3 showers for each gender and 2 bathrooms for each gender. It was never a problem getting to use the bathroom or shower which is great. Everything is extremely clean!

Sleep wise it is super comfortable with minimal to no noise heard in the room or outside. The windows are pretty much noise proof since you literally don’t hear anything.

They have a kitchen and a super nice common area where a lot of people work from or just hang and watch tv. Lots of video games and books available if you want to read or play something. They have a selection of teas and coffee available all complimentary.

This isn’t a party hostel which is great if that is something you aren’t looking for. Definitely on the chill side which we highly appreciated. You can meet people in the common area if you want though.

The owner is extremely nice and knowledgeable. He let us borrow his charger since we didn’t have a converter. He also is very social and always willing to chat either about the city or just in general.

Like I said in the beginning I highly recommend...

Iam soo impressed by the hostel. It's a 4 star hotel like experience in hostel. The whole property is very modernized. There is a big social room with coffee, tea available, washing machine service with dryer also available. It's right in the heart of the city centre, the tram is just below the hotel. Tons of grocery and eating joints, restaurants nearby. Very lively area!! Easy check in, very clean rooms and whole property is very well maintained!! Even the kitchen is equipped with all latest technology.. There is a 24/7 security guard room so very much secured place ! There is a lift also to the 1st floor. If you're with a bike, you can also park inside the hostel. The owner, Rado is the best host I ever met! He is Very supportive, hospitable, friendly and informative. I didn't except this exceptional service at such economical price! A definite recommended stay in...
