In the middle of the centre, all facilities around the hotel. It looks like time is turned 30 years back in time when you enter this hotel...But it is charming. We asked for a room with a view, and it was beautiful!
The walls are thin, don`t expect to sleep all night through... Leave a Comment Theme: HotelComparison: less expensive than average

The breakfast is superb. An eat as much as you want buffet, including roast beef, goulashes, salads. Certainly sets you up for the day.
Great views of the castle and bridge. Ask for a room facing the river Danube. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Next to Tesco's

I stayed in this hotel because it was in the centre and was cheap. I had toilet and shower in my room and the breakfast in this hotel was very nice. Leave a Comment

17 floor high-rise hotel built in 1973. Atmosphere 70's nostalgia.

i stayed 2 nights there. Service was kind and reception was opened 24hours. hotelNo matter how late i used to return to hotel there were 2-3 persons stand by. Breakfast options not the "most wide" but keep in mind it is a 3star hotel.
The biggest disadvantage was that a side of whole building is covered by a big advertisment. This advertisment is "Self lightened". I mean that in the nights if it happens your room's window to be covered by it you get the impression that outside is still morning eventhough it may is 3 at dawn!!!!! So if y have problems during sleeping with lights (like i do) try to get a room that its window isnt covered by it. Another disadvantage is that building is old so they made some improvements like installing fire distinguishers on corridor's roofs. The problem is that everything is placed a bit untidy so it looks a bit bad. But of course this is very minor issue. Last but not least is the speed of the 2 elevators...tooooo slow! keep in mind that it is a 15storey building Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averagePhone: +421 2 5964 1111Directions: From train station y get metro No1 and after 6 stops y get off...Hotel is the tallest building there! y cant miss it!

The Hotel Kyjev is not what you might call modern but it is a fantastic place! A traditional Communist built monster of a hotel, but now ironically attached to an enormous Tesco Superstore and one side of the 20+ floor hotel covered in a massive advert. Sadly this meant that we had no view from our room on the 10th floor!
The lift is temperamental to say the least and despite us pressing the 4th floor button in the lift in fact we were 10 floors up! So god knows where the missing 6 floors were!
The decor in the reception and the rooms is 70's and all the better for not being a themed hotel, but the real McCoy. The food is also some of the best I have ever had at a European hotel. The largest buffet breakfast I have ever seen.
We opted for the "Substandard Room" option (yes thats right!) which was still comfortable but sadly the sheets did not cover the length of the bed, the bathroom ceiling was so low you couldn't stand in the shower, the shower itself was a hose attached to the taps, and the windows seemed to be hanging off!
You could say this hotel is so bad that you have to stay there for the experience! Its actually a welcome break from the boring identikit hotels you always stay in, this is really unique and a must for anyone staying in Bratislava. I imagine it will be refurbished sometime soon and converted to a boring modern hotel so get in quick! If its not refurbished it will probably collapse.
It is also the cheapest city centre hotel and sticks out like a saw thumb so you can easily find your way back again. Its not in a dodgy area and we seemed perfectly safe in the vicinity at night, only 2 minutes walk from the Old Town.
Unique qualities:
Communist decor,
Lack of daylight in rooms,
Fantastic enormous mammoth buffet breakfast,
Sticks out like a saw thumb,
Exrememly Cheap,
Just unique in every possible way. Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: You can't miss it. Next to Tesco.

This hotel is really basic but the location to everywhere is great. The breakfasts are really good and the staff there are friendly and helpful. Leave a Comment

Just stayed one night here but you have a nice look out from the top. I dont complain on the look inside, but they have not fixed it in many years i guess.
The hotel is cheap and very central. it has a nice bar and you can sit here and have a good drink or a cold beer. Leave a Comment

The hotel is all red carpets, smell of cigaretts and dark corners. We liked it because of the kitsch, and because it is authentic. The main drawback was the thin walls. However, the breakfast was superb and the staff friendly. If you are looking for a scandinavian-style place with lots of sunlight and flowers, choose another hotel. But I recommend it to everyone who wants to experience some old communist-feeling.
15 floors and superb breakfast.

This hotel is very centrally located and has a great staff. The "modern" deco almost gives the place a time capsule feel to it. It reminds me of my travels beyond the "Iron Curtain" back in the 70's. The breakfast alone it worth the stay! You can live dangerously by using the lift ... sometimes you'll make it to your floor; sometimes you won't.
The downfall, there were a ton of footballers staying in the hotel and at 05:00, they decided to have a football game right next door! Yes. The walls are thin. Those fabled leather, "pillow coverings" on the joining room doors don't do squat. Some updating is needed, but I would hate to see it all go.
If you're not planning on spending too much time in your room, this the THE place to stay! I still dream about the plastic "tire" looking lamps that hover above the banquet room. I bet the Comerades of the ole Soviet Union were stoked on them!
