The stay was not as advertised. Host was late so we had to wait over 30 minutes past the check in time to check in. Communication was unclear and the host failed to mention you have to pay for washing facilities which is not mentioned anywhere. There was also no hairdryer which was advertised. The room was basic but fine but pillows need updating. AC worked well in room. Fridge was unpleasant so we decided not to use the kitchen.
Check in was easy and the room was as described. Pillows were quite flat and blankets older so comfort was a little less than hoped for. Most importantly- it should be known that it is located above a night club and it was impossible to sleep as the club music and bass was so loud until 4:30am. This wasn’t typical city noise. This was exceptionally loud. While this is not the hostel’s fault, it did impact the stay for sure.
The room was extremely clean, the manager was very friendly and helpful, we were able to leave our luggage before checking in and after checking out, and the manager went out of his way to organise an early check-in for us as we had been travelling for almost 30 hours before arriving. The location is great and within very easy walking distance of all local attractions. There was some noise from trams passing but earplugs were available at reception.
One of my favorite hostels I've stayed in. Very laid back atmosphere, fantastic wifi and common space, very clean and well kept, and really nice staff. Much quieter than some of the other hostels in Bratislava, and in an unbeatable location. Would stay here again, and highly recommend!
The hostel was so spacious! Unlike other hostels that try to fit as many beds into the room as possible, this hostel really went the extra mile to have open areas in the hostel, they even added a couch in the room!
The hostel is quite basic but it's also centrally located, comfortable, spacious and the recceptionist/proprietor offered a very warm welcome. There's free tea and coffee, fridges in your room, and it's only a short walk to the main town square. I'd recommend this for a budget stay in Bratoslava.
Very kind and helpful staff. Reasonable price. The nearby trains can be very loud.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This property has so much potential. It’s affordable and in a great location. However the beds were terrible with a dip in the middle and the pillows were beyond their life. Also the doors/walls were incredibly thin and you could hear everything from inside the room. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I think there’s room for growth and I don’t know that this is somewhere I would stay again.
Hostel Folks was great! Very clean and modern hostel, it wasn’t very busy during my stay so it was nice and quiet the whole time. Large common room to hang out in. Showers had great hot water and water pressure. Towel and lockers included in stay! Definitely recommend this place. Thank u Rado for all the local recommendations!
