The hotel room was a good size but could be cleaner, and the Nespresso machine was not working as expected. The service was polite and accommodating, but there was an incident of staff entering the room without knocking. The location was nice and easy to reach, but lacked some essential items in the room.

I loved the location of this hotel, just on the outskirts of the old town but still close to all the main sites and shopping areas. The rooms were overlooking a tiny inner yard, which was a bit odd, but they had a Nespresso coffee maker and a relaxing bathtub. Although the rooms were small, they were very well soundproofed. The service was good overall, but the reception staff could have been friendlier. The location was perfect, right in the center of Bratislava with easy access to everything. The dining options were a bit overpriced, but there was a wide selection available. The hotel had great facilities, including car hire, laundry service, and tours/ticket assistance.
