Latest feedback on Hostel Blues:
I was very satisfied with the Hostel Blues. It was much better than I expected! The staff there were great and helped wherever they could!!
I got all details, booking confirmation and so on in time.
I haven't seen much of the city. I have been there with some of the athletes I represent. They run the Bratislava marathon and Halfmarathon - we won all!
It was important to get a quiet room (for a good sleep). The kitchen in the room was very helpful!!
Perfect place for preparing to a race- and just a few hundred meters from the start of the races.
We'll come again.

This was a bad experience: we waited for 1 hour before being attributed a room, because there was a group before us.
During the night some groups members came back at the hotel at 4am and made an enormous fuss, completely drunk...
Then at 7 am some people left their room, and made a huge noise.

The hostel was great. Clean, friendly and in a great place. Communal areas were quite small and could get busy, but this was not a major issue. It did take a VERY long time to check in, however.

I can say we enjoyed our stay at your hostel. Very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Your hostel is situated in a great location. Everything was within walking distance. The price was reasonable.

I didn't know so much about the hostel so I didn't have any ideas before. But for me the location was perfect. Hostel was clean and modern, there's a funny idea in decorating the hostel. Only thing that was a bit negative was that in reception there are lines and it's very slow. But on the other hand I like that in reception they make everything accurate.

The hostel was actually better than what it seemed in the website. It has a great location, staff, and guests. The kitchen was also good and the room with the screen.
