Downtown Backpackers Hostel Bratislava Reviews

Simply great...

Friendly staff and good location! The bathrooms are not very big, but clean. Good value for money!

My 1st thought @ the arrival was that I don't wanna leave this little island of cosiness - but I had to go to the concert I went to Bratislava for :) After that I felt like comin home. Having the KLIMT room was the cherry on the cake - he's my favorite artists Fine kitchen, friendly, pro staff, cool design, easy stairs. 4 minor things on the low-side though: 1) the house is quite noisy (gas heater...?) 2) everything smelled like bleach 3) didn't like the oooooooooold bed :( 4) WiFi didn't work

Colourful vibrant hostel, well located near the old town. Place can be noisy because of the bar and restaurant at the front. Drinks are cheap and food is excellent for very reasonable prices. Recommended if you are a nicht raven or in for a night party. Ask for a bed or a room at the back of the hostel if you want a silence night.

One of those hostels, which have fantastic atmosphere, cheap price and the best beer in the world (Urquell Pilsner). Staff is very polite. You will be impressed by the decor of the room (I mean pictures on the walls) and atmosphere of the beginning of XX century. Worth a hostel. Probably, the best in Europe.

Beds need updating. Not sure how hard it is to find sheets that fit, but would have been nice if it had covered the mattress. The cleaner didn't really clean the room while I was there. Although the bathrooms had been cleaned s few times, the toilet paper wasn't replaced until I asked. The location is ok.

Dirty, only 2 bathrooms for like 40 people. Has old windows installed, and no heating what makes it too cold in rooms. Cafe downstairs always closed, because someone has booked it for private party. No other places nearby. Location is far from perfect. Stuff was a bit rude. I would strongly recommend to book another hostel in Bratislava.

I would not recommend this hostel...it was incredibly loud and just seemed unsafe. we had people pounding on our door at all hours of the night who weren't even guests at the hostel AND the radiator leaked liquid all over our floor/stuff and the staff didn't even apologize or fix it when we told them. there are much better hostels out there (and in bratislava, I'm sure! it was a nice city!!)

The front desk was very helpful and the bar/restaurant was packed in the evening! Conveniently located but they could use better lighting in the bathroom and new sheets for the beds (mine had a nice little hole in it). Seemed clean though and it worked for me.

We stayed at the hostel for two nights, the house is very well located only a few min. from the oldtown of bratislava. The rooms and facilities are in a very good condition and clean. Theres a nice Bar/Restaurant at the hostel with a good value for money. The Staff was nice and helpful. It was very nice :-). Thank you

Everything was great except for the 60 year old lady in my dorm, that decided to open the windows while -2 outside. Woke up to freezing room. No special activity on that night and the bottle of water was really expensive at the bar.

Good hostel, nice common room, no complaints, would stay again

Clean and secure. The is a restaurant/bar downstairs. Close to Old Town. Easy to get to from the airport - take the 61 bus to the main railway station ( which is the terminus ) and from there take the 93 bus for 2 stops. The second stop is at the junction of Panenska St with Stefanikova St - the hostel is about 50 meters on the right. One 60 minute bus ticket will do for both journeys.

The staff are the best you could hope to find anywhere. Great central location. Good food and cold beer if you need it. Good clean kitchen to use if you want that instead. Very clean and well maintained place. Pretty much all the good things you want from a hostel are here. totally recommend it and would not hesitate to come back myself.

great hostel, nice staff, but the wifi was disappointing

We were pretty disappointed that after ten pm there was no more food. Especially at a hostel. Shame there was no Internet in the rooms, but that's nothing negative.

This hostel was wonderful! Everyone was so incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and the shower was great. I really enjoyed my time there. And the common room has the best couch in the world!

Hostel is based in one of those buildings with a 3m++ ceiling. Plenty of spaces in the room as well as in the common area. There is also a nice bar in the hostel which is not just a hangout place for guests but also for locals. Because of the bar the rooms on the first floor could be a bit noisy. Staff and bar workers are very nice and helpful and always up for a talk.

I stayed here in a private room with my wife and 4 month old daughter and it was wonderful! The hostel is full of character, perfectly clean and the staff are all great. The communal areas are fantastic - lovely kitchen, washing machine and sofa area & the basic things you need to make dinner (salt, pepper, spices etc) and a big fridge and cooker (with oven). Lovely bar/restaurant downstairs and I would stay there again for sure.

Only complaint was having to walk all the way to McDonalds to use wifi.
