Hi there, if You stay in Bratislava for the night, one of the best place is at Botanicka - Druzba students dormitory, its placed just by the river, and from the windows You may have great view at Danube!!! It's not far from the Old Town, and You can walk up there also by the riverside, what is taking about 25 minutes on foot to get to Novy Most with fantastic view point on the top of the bridge!!! If You chose the other way, with the buses you can get as well to Devin Castle, and Sandberg where are real dunes!!! What i can recomend you is definitely two things - walking up the Kamzik and tring the national food - bryndzowe haluszki (sheep cheese dumplings) in "Koliba" in Mlynska Dolina!!! Slovakian people are definitely crazy about meals, and even in MacDonalds you can find their fried cheese!!! And now watch out - in Slovakia you can buy leggaly Absint, the famous alkohol which was driving mad many poets in XIX century :D Of course You cannot miss Obchodna i Kapucinska, Kamenne Namestie (where is also Tesco haha), but if You plan make some shopping Billa is much better than Tesco for sure. From Hlavna Stanica - main train station, you can easily get to Tatra Mountains, the highest in all Carpathian Range, and getting couchette costs about 20 euro and if you leave at 9pm you will get to capital of the mountains at 6 in the morning!!! The same price in both ways this time is to Vienna, also by the ferries, which is so cool, traveling to Budapest is not bad, though not many hungarian people talk in english, lol If You need sports, then fabulous thing is going for the ice hockey, but if you need a high culture, try in Narodne Divadlo (theather - national opera house), i watched there russian "Eugeniusz Oniegin" and that was great! The best thing is to come up for Christmas Market, i still havent been in Dresden, but in Bratislava i saw even enchanted Bawarian people so it must be one of the best in Europe!!! If we talk about Osterich culture, then please go to Hlavne Namestie and visit Kaffee Mayer and try the best cakes they have!!! mmm... Someone said "Bratislava is fun, polite and small" and i mean it :-) P.S. Hey girls, in the beginning of the year and then after summer there are fabulous sales in shops, like Terranova and other big companies, and in compare to west european countries difference is really pretty big!

The capital city of Slovakia. There are not so many attractions but you can visit castle or modern bridge with cafe.

Never go to the Orange Hostel, NEVER. This place is the worst hostel I've never been in. Of course it's located in the city center but walk 5 more minutes or take a bus ride to outside the city center and you'll find better accomodation for half of the price.

my family lives in this town. i love to come to bratislava to see my family and seeing the town.

Stay at Juraijs Hostel, its cheap and familiar!

Hostel Blues! Great atmosphere and great staff!

Capital city of Slovak Republic

And thy know the beste places to eat and stuff. Really, Bratislava is an fucked up citty but when you gonna talk to the locals and stuff, it is becomign rally nice :D

We were on interrail few years ago, and travelled on a shoestring budget. We got this tip from friendly couple, of which we shared an apartment in Budapest. They told us about very cheap Youth hostel in Bratislava.
Hostel is available only in summer, name of the place is Youth Hostel Svoradov , and adress is Svoradova 13. We arrived in the middle of the night, and there were still room for us. I do not remember exact prices, and it is over 5 years ago. But I can tell that it was very affordable place, then the level was below 10 euros/night/person. And for student is only half price. I assume that the prices have risen a little nowadays. Rooms were quite simple but fitting size, not too small. Shower was common as usual in this kind of accommodation.

Location of this hostel is just convenient, everything lies within 10 minutes. No curfew.

If you haven't decided where to stay yet, try Botel Gracia - located at five minutes walking distance from the old town on the Danube river. Yes - ON the river - not on the river bank. The place is a 3 deck cruise boat accommodated for a hotel. The rooms are clean and recently refurbished.
