Bratislava Hostels, Budget Accommodation Guide

Best Bratislava Hostels

If you are looking for a cheap place to stay and want to meet travelers from around the world, Bratislava youth hostels are a good option, indeed. Prices for youth and student hostels are lower in Bratislava than in Prague, Budapest, Krakow or Vienna.

Standard hostel rooms start at about SKK 600 (EUR 18.93) per private double room per night (usually without ensuite facilities or breakfast) or about SKK 400 (EUR 12.62) per bed in a dorm room. In the months of July and August, university dormitories and residence halls turn into youth hostels offering rooms for visitors, starting at about SKK 220 (EUR 6.94) per person per night in a dorm room (with very simple facilities). Youth hostels have shared toilets and showers and often security deposit is required for a key (about SKK 1000 (EUR 31.54)).

Downtown Hostel Backpackers opened in 2004 situated in the centre near Bratislava's Presidential Palace at Panenska street offers clean and cheap rooms and very friendly, youthful and dynamic service.

Hostel Patio is well served by public transportation with tram stop in front of the building and trolleybus stop some 100 meters far.

City Hostel is located right on trendy Obchodna street filled with bars, restaurants and clubs. The street is very popular among Bratislava teenagers that make raids to its pubs, bars and clubs every Friday and Saturday.
