Stayed 4 nights at this modest, friendly hotel (listed as a hostel on some websites). Located in the very center of Bratislava, next to the Austrian Embassy and the Goethe Institute. The old town is really 3-4 minutes on foot. You can get from the airport either by taxi, or by bus + tram, or by bus and walk from the stop for 10-15 minutes on foot to the hotel.

Stayed 4 nights at this modest, friendly hotel (listed as a hostel on some websites).
Located in the very center of Bratislava, next to the Austrian Embassy and the Goethe Institute. The old town is really 3-4 minutes on foot.
You can get from the airport either by taxi, or by bus + tram, or by bus and walk from the stop for 10-15 minutes on foot to the hotel. At the same time, look at the city)) The bus stop is on the right, how to get out of the airport doors. The bus runs every 20 minutes. The ride takes about 25 minutes. Therefore, feel free to buy a ticket at the machine at the bus stop for 30 minutes if you decide to go by bus only. If bus + tram, then buy a ticket for at least an hour or an hour and a half. Bus number 61, go to the final, to the railway station. Then look at the map - go back down to Sancova street, go right to Stefanikova street, turn left - and go straight to the hotel along Stefanikova street.
The hotel itself is located in a five-six-story building, the entrance to the rooms is through 2 entrances. One entrance-porch with reception and entrance to the cafe. The cafe can also be entered from the street. The second entrance is around the corner - you are given the keys to the room and the key to the intercom in the entrance. In the second entrance, there are three rooms on the second and fifth floors. We were in room 502. Is the view from the window gorgeous? )
The room is very clean, spacious enough, fresh renovation is visible.
Large bathroom, good shower. The room has a comfortable double bed. Chair, table, bedside tables, chest of drawers. For things - a rack with hangers. There is an electric kettle and tea accessories. Heating in the room is independent. Good Wi-Fi, the TV did not turn on. Room cleaning - once every 3 days.
I read reviews about the elevator - yes, an interesting elevator. Like the old, Soviet one, where you had to open and close the doors yourself. Only here the elevator is only with external doors : ))
Breakfast in the hotel cafe is included in the price.
A standard good European breakfast is porridge, muesli, scrambled eggs, vegetables and fruits, cheese and meat cuts, sausages, beans in tomato, pate, butter, sweets (jam, nutella, pastries), tea, coffee, juices. The rest of the time the cafe works like a bar.
Departure at 11:00. Luggage can be left in the storage room at the reception. The staff speaks Slovak and English. Russian is not understood.
We were very satisfied with the hotel, we especially liked the privacy.
The rooms are non-smoking.
In Bratislava, it is interesting to walk for 3-4 days, walk up and down Stare Mesto)), visit restaurants and bars. By the way, 80% of pubs serve only light beer, different varieties. You have to run after the dark one)) National cuisine - delicious soups, one of which is served in a bread pot, meat - always whole or chopped (ground is not accepted in Slovakia) + a side dish of cabbage (stewed, sauerkraut, white cabbage, cauliflower, etc. )) Interesting salads - fresh cucumber with sweet sauce.
Very unusual, but you can try it once))
Also, which is very convenient, from Bratislava you can go to Vienna for a day. One way ticket 5 EURO. The bus also serves tea / coffee - included in the price. It takes a little less than 1.5 hours to drive (this is from arrivals at the airport in Vienna). Buses depart from the central bus station almost every 30 minutes. We bought round-trip tickets the day before. Walk to the bus station from the hotel for about 30 minutes. Checked. By taxi in the evening we went from the bus station to the hotel - 17.5 EURO. (This is to make it clear what prices are for a taxi) If you are at the bus station, I highly recommend the super strudel with poppy seeds and cherries!! ! The cost is 1.5 EURO. Kiosk with coffee and sweets on the right, from the left entrance to the bus station. Chic strudel))) Maybe somewhere else in the city there are such kiosks, but I have not seen it.
In general, the impressions of Bratislava are a quiet, calm city, beautiful architecture, clean air, delicious cuisine, shopping - you can buy shoes, clothes - which are cheaper everywhere in Europe than in Ukraine. The Slovak language is similar to Ukrainian and Russian, it sounds fun at times)) People are calm, friendly, about 90% Slavs. On holidays and Sunday, almost nothing works, except for cafes and restaurants - think about shopping in advance)))
