Great location to stay in Bratislava, they have car parking, tram station just opposite to stay, walking distance to blue church and old town. They also had complimentary pan cakes in morning. Very good common kitchen and laundry. Recommended for family. We were 3 stayed in a family room.
Rooms were great and had lockers. There’s also a kitchen, laundry machine, and a common room which is open 24/7 and where you can work on your computer or chat with friends.

Sasa, Michol, and the front desk staff are awesome. Sasa, especially, makes the time to help you find things to do, local information, and eateries in the area. Excellent job, Sasa!!! Keep up the great work!

The location is fantastic. There are shops and cafés nearby. It is also a short walk away from the historic centre. The beds were comfortable. Just one minor negative point: The doors might need to be fitted a bit better. The doors make a lot of noise when being closed. But other than that, the hostel is a great place to stay. The staff are kind and friendly. There's also a really nice atmosphere in the hostel.

For me this is an almost perfect trip in my entire Europe trip. Too bad, I am only staying for one night and never had a full Bratislava experience. I enjoyed the free laundry service as well as an access to kitchen with entertainment and the luggage is free. I am definitely considering my official stay whenever I am in Bratislava.

decent budget option
pros:
clean room (was scared of some of the reviews about bed bugs but didn’t find any), easy check in, smoking room pretty cool, free luggage storage, free towels/ shower gel with private room
cons:
creaky floor, sometimes loud (but to be expected in a hostel), no ac/ fan etc, bed not the comfiest, wifi not the fastest/ best for streaming

Overall it was very good. Excellent location and transport links. Beds were comfortable and decent size lockers. Kitchen area is superb. Cleaning staff do a great job. This is a large and busy hostel and there are always many people coming and going. Some have said it's noisy but I didn't have any problems. I had a very pleasant stay here

The hostel is a perfectly serviceable place for a cheap stay that's very well located. They do have a bar, free laundry, a garden area, and a nice kitchen.
The rooms tend to be crowded and have little ventilation. During summer, it gets very hot and is difficult to sleep at times.
Still, a good bargain for your money.

Smelly bathroom
The hostel is easy to find within Bratislava.
Check in was easy and we were able to put our bags in the storage room.
The room: We stayed in a twin room with a private bathroom. For a cheap hostel it was okay although like many reviews by the evening the smell of warm dead rodents was coming from the bathroom to which every time we entered we had to spray deodorant. I'm glad we only stayed 1 night.
Towels were provided
This hostel was very quiet when we stayed (end of March)
There is a bar with board games however the staff who was behind the bar had a "I don't want to be here attitude" and was on her phone 99% of the time.
The bar smelt of smoke which was off putting and the tables were unbelievably sticky.
Overall I would not stay here again.
