Me and my friends were doing an InterRail and City Hostel was the best hostel we stayed in during our one month trip. The staff was really nice and they gave us all the requested information (in terms of transportation, places to visit, etc). The hostel's location was really good, right in the city centre. The room was big and was perfect in terms of quality and cleanliness. (<< Back to City Hostel)

One night we had loud neighbours, but we ignored the noises. That is our misfortune. (<< Back to City Hostel)

Description was accurate. It's very silent inside even so it's located perfectly in the city center. The room was clean and we had many fresh towels. The bathroom was hygienic and modern. All in all 'City Hostel' is a nice location for little money, especially the suite for 4 persons! (<< Back to City Hostel)

Lawrence from USA wrote on 01.12.2008 2008-12-01:
Your description was overly generous. However, the overall operation lacked management. One night there was NO lighting walking from the main street down the long walkway to the office door. One morning there was NO hot water for a shower! The neighborhood was generally run down and in poor condition compared to the rest of the surrounding area. Our bathroom waste basket was still full with the former occupant’s garbage. The maid walked into our room without waiting for a response while we were in bed. Oh yes, I almost forgot about the mattress: what mattresses? Monks during the middle ages had better mattresses. My hips were bruised when I left the hotel for three days. (<< Back to City Hostel)

Judith from UK wrote on 24.06.2008 2008-06-24:
The description was accurate. Our only criticism would be that the
hotel was rather noisy, but this was due to other guests coming back to their rooms very late at night and was out of the control of the hotel
staff. We found the night receptionist particularly kind, helpful and friendly. (<< Back to City Hostel)
Veronique from France wrote on 08.05.2008 2008-05-08:
The description was quite accurate, we even thought the hotel was better than your description! Location was perfect, everything ok. Maybe, just two remarks: no curtain at the window so we were awoken early by the light of the day + the room was not soundproof enough and we could hear all the noises. The answer of the hotel was really quick, perfect. (<< Back to City Hostel)

Riekele from Netherlands wrote on 22.03.2008 2008-03-22:
The quality of the room was very good. Less nice was, that there were some English guests (men) in the room next to me, who were very noisy in the middle of the night. I couldn't get asleep because of that between 3.00 and 5.00. They banged with doors, shouted and had the TV on loud. (<< Back to City Hostel)
Ryan from Wales (UK) wrote on 20.02.2008 2008-02-20:
The accomodation was exactly as shown (in the photographs) and located as described.
The rooms were of a very good standard and displayed a high level of cleanliness.
The staff at the city hostel were very good. They spoke excellent English and were polite and helpful.
Confirmation was received almost immediately after booking had occurred.
This was my second visit to the city, and in my opinion the accommodation was very good value. I would recommend the city hostel and would happily return again.
This accommodation would not suit groups of noisy tourists (stag and hen parties), as most guests were in couples. (<< Back to City Hostel)

I have to say the whole thing went extremely well. If anything youy understated the accommodation which for a hostel was a lot cleaner, tidier and secure than I was expecting.
I would say it is for people like us, a bed for the night, with clean shower and toilet facilities per room. Do not expect room service or refreshments.
The only negative in terms of the rooms is a lack of safe facility which meant we had to take all of our money with us each day. (<< Back to City Hostel)

City Hostel was as described in the feedbacks I read...clean, large rooms, a little bit anonymous in terms of architectural and furniture style, but well located up-hill the old city with a quiet neighbourhood, comfortable and safe-looking for lonely travellers as I was. Young people with little money and backpackers should be greatly happy and satisfied with the lodging. (<< Back to City Hostel)

We checked into City Hostel without a hitch. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and as described on the website.

Kevin from UK wrote on 30.09.2006 2006-09-30:
Unfortunately our stay at City Hostel was not very good. We arrived just before 24:00hrs as we informed them,and were assigned our room.Just before 08:00hrs we were woken by very loud drilling and hammering from the room above. It was so loud It was unbearable. I went to complain to reception and was informed there was an extension being built, no apology nothing. I e-mailed them on my return and recieved an apology but I think I should have been given a discount or offered another night sometime in the future,as I would never have stayed in the room if I had been told It was going to be noisy therefore I feel duped. I will not recommend this hostel to anyone. (<< Back to City Hostel)

Ludwig from Luxemburg wrote on 15.09.2006 2006-09-15:
The hostel was indeed a very good deal. Ensuite bathroom, linen, towels, etc make the place feel more like a hotel than a hostel. However, I do have some reservations. It can be rather noisy during the night and not all staff speak English. My major complaint is the taxi to the airport booked for us by the receptionist. It was very dodgy indeed with pictures of naked women on the dash board and above all we were charged 900 Koruny, which is double what we paid from the airport to the hostel. (<< Back to City Hostel)

City Hostel is quite near to the center and easy to reach by foot but not so near as described. It seemed like newly renovated. The staff was very friendly, the rooms small, but nice and clean with very, very hard beds. But: I would never stay there again, because it was so loud the hole night, that we couldn't sleep for a minute. Doors were slamed at 5 in the morning, people were shouting. Usually the reception should say something - they were there 24h - but the reception is in another building where they might not hear the noise. So I just would recommend it to people who do not need much sleep. (<< Back to City Hostel)
Jelga from Netherland wrote on 08.09.2006 2006-09-08:
The hostel was fine, the room was clean and spatious and it turned out to be even cheaper then it said on the website, because I had to pay the price of a single room for a double bedroom (single use). There were two minor problems: there was a very bad smell in the bathroom (the sewers probably) and people started working in the courtyard of the hotel quite early (at 7.30am), which was rather noisy.

The location of the hostel was perfect and the room was spacious enough for 3 people. However, our bathroom was not cleaned after the previous customer, the trash bin was full and there were underwear on the floor. The staff didn't clean it, despite our request. They nevertheless did offer us another room, but we didn't want to move because our stuff was already unpacked and we were heading for town. (<< Back to City Hostel)

We found it exactly as described. The locals over there were very friendly and helped us with all our questions.
Our room was very clean and exactly as described in the text and on the photos. The place itself is quiet, very near the center and not so far from the train station, but due to road works (whole Bratislava looked like under construction), it wasn't so easy to reach it.
Check also the nearby coffee shop ("Coffee and co") out.
One slight negative point about the room is that there seemed to be a problem with the bathroom sewers, every morning the bathroom smelled quite bad. (<< Back to City Hostel)
