Top choice in Bratislava
A cracking hostel where social areas feel lovably grungy while facilities, like kitchens and bathrooms, are nicely up to date. Table football, guitars and cheap beer encourage mingling in the lounge, with its velvety sofas and blues posters. Choose from single-sex or mixed dorms, or private rooms with en-suite bathrooms (a steal for the price).
Chirpy staff offer local tips and a warm welcome. Traveller essentials (lockers, free luggage storage) are all present and correct.
