Cute idea to have a large vessel as a hotel on the Danube. It has a cocktail bar at the top and the designated breakfast place (Radisson across the street) serves a fantastic breakfast buffet.
But the hotel has its disadvantages: no AC in the small rooms, windows that do not open and curtains that let too much light through in the long summer days.
It was a bit hot and the ventilator did not help much.

The location is the best of the best. I came by ferry from Vienna and the ferry literally docked next to the hotel, and I didn’t even planned. I walk out from the ferry, some steps and I was already in the hotel.
The idea is good, however they need to clean a little better.
The room was a little bit cold.
They need to take advantage of the place and the space, the decoration should be better, because it’s a ship, so they need to take advantage of that. The staff is friendly, the rest was ok.

Unfortunately with it being a boat, sound proofing wasn't great and I was kept awake by a party on a boat the other side of the Danube. Otherwise staff were very friendly and helpful and they offer daily cleaning which is unusual in this day and age.

The Botel had no access to the open decks, no restaurant /breakfast 15 euros in another hotel with advance request/, no bar... only small water 3 euros and soft drinks at the reception.
Dark, unwelcoming, smelly corridors and rooms/cabins.
The doors - thin and creaky. There was no TV, no phone, the internet was intermittent.
Only one night lamp by the bed - old, dirty, wobbly.
Between 2pm and 4pm was very noisy maintenance.

Excelente location, maybe the best possible.
This hotel is actually a medium size ship located on the Danubio River. No breakfast available, just a coffee and a croissant for around 5 euros. No refrigerator, no microwave, no closet, but ok for a short stay.

The information on the advertisement is not correct. There is no breakfast area, you need to walk around 200m to another hotel. There is no lounge area on the top deck as advertised. At least, it was not opened at that time of the year. The hotel smells terribly, difficult to stay in and was expecting to leave as quickly as possible. The staffs of the day are not courteous, any request for information is replied unpolitelly: for exemple - any restautant recommended nearby? - answer, I dont know, I dont have time to dine here!
I am used to travel in many cities and staying in various hotels, as a platinum member of expedia, however, the information when I booked this one is misleading and honestly one of the worst I've stayed.

Good location. Poor service

Requested 2 beds Received a double. When i asked if they had another room the receptionist said they were full which was clearly untrue. I didn’t bother to argue and then the lady said ‘well you booked the double’ with some attitude. Pretty dusty and a floor that felt dirty. Mattress was very firm and think. And I usually prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was shambolic. Instead of having a toilet roll we had one of those dispensers which gives out one small sheet at a time and then got jammed up. Overall poor experience. The location is fairly good but its such a small city it isn’t worth worrying about location too much.

Cool in 70's, now not so much

Don't expect a good breakfast. The options were very limited. Soda was offered as the only option to tea and very poor coffee.
For a vegetarians/vegans there was only toast, sliced tomato and cucumber.

The general state of the hotel made it look like it needed repairs. There were spider webs everywhere.

The location was great for seeing the old town and the Danube river.

Stay in a hotel or airbnb but not this property.

When you book a boat and reach at 11 am, you expect you will get water side of the hotel room, but we didn't and this was Monday, when we went for breakfast we saw only 2 other families so all the rooms were empty but we were not allowed a room may be because we were asians? The room was very stuffy and the curtains were so light I could not sleep past 5 a.m.

Room and Breakfast with a View

Wonderful views of the Danube and the boats that ply it PLUS easy walk to most of the sights of Bratislava. The chief negative was stained/dirty wall-to-wall carpet in our cabin. The bedding was spotlessly clean, however, and everything else was fine. Ample and tasty included breakfast. With a new carpet or other floor treatment, this room would deserve a rave.

Great hotel!

I liked it very much. Especially due to the balcony with view on the Danube. It's beautiful during the morning and evening. Room was clean, breakfast was delicious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The restaurant on the top of botel have good food and prices. 5 stars from me.

I live on a boat. This was not a boat I would want to live on. Even for one night. Ugh. Filthy, smelly and I had to ask for a room change so as not to be staring at the flashing police van all night and instead the river - which is what I requested in the booking.

Unique property near old town. Has to deal with the problems of being a boat on the river. As a boat they cannot deliver the same standards as a land asked hotel. But a land based hotel cannot deliver ambiance as a water based hotel. Has no AC but during my stay the first week of October opening the windows was sufficient.

Great views

If you get a river side room, you can watch all the river traffic from your bed and feel you're living on the river. On the other hand, the room and public areas need thorough cleaning and updating - only the bed linen and towels seemed clean. I felt like I was in a backpackers without the advantage of a low cost.

Great botel, cleaning could be better

Great Botel, fab location & cosy!

I would definitely stay on the Botel again. The man at the front desk was lovely and really funny. The room was so cosy, warm and everything we needed it to be. Breakfast was as you’d expect to get at any European hotel offering breakfast, the juices were fizzy and not nice tasting though.
The area is the most perfect!

One night in Bratislava

I had very good experience from the beginning. I came little bit earlier but because they already cleaned the room I was able to get my room before 14:00. The lady at the reception was very helpful and answer all my questions about public transit in Bratislava. The internet was good. The TV had only 5 channels, 4 in Germans and one in Slovak. That needs improvement. The fan in the bathroom did not work. The breakfest was very good. The botel is close to the downtown and I am sure that I will be staying again in this botel Gracia.

Bed bugs infested!

The major souvenir from my stay at this place are a number of bed bugs bites! And now for a few days so far I'm etching badly :( A huge disappointment as an idea of a boat-hotel is nice and it's perfectly located next to the city historic center. But the bed bugs infestation completely spoils everything.
By the way, there is no air condition and it may be hot in the summer on the sunny (river-view) side

I am not sure why anyone disparages this place. Considering the price and location, it is excellent value! We had a couple of niggles on the first night with our balcony door not closing and the room being cold but once that was sorted, perfectly comfortable and a decent breakfast; wish it was served in the top floor restaurant. Bathroom was newly renovated and they have a nice little lounge area. Would stay again

On the Daunube next to the Old City

Cool location in a boat next to the Old City. Excellent location for walking to the sights of Bratislava. Great view on the river and the UFO bridge. Staff was friendly and helpful, pointing out locations on a map and recommending restaurants. We were there on a Friday night I. The summer and across the river was a large party space. Perhaps this won't be an issue for everyone, but as we were travelling with a child, we went to bed earlier than some. The DJ and music could be heard loudly until almost 2 am. This is not the fault of the hotel, but something to be aware of, especially on a weekend in the summer if you need to go to sleep early.

Botel Gracia, Bratislava

Lovely being on the water and only a 5 minute walk to the centre of the old town. The only bad points were that the restaurant was closed (hired out for private functions) for two nights - though we were only 5 minutes walk from the shops - and the doors were sticky, needing a bit of force to close them. But lovely staff, lovely room and lovely location.

Stay on the Botel - great location

Only a one night stay in Bratislava and the \"Botel\" was an interesting experience. The location was absolutely great for walking to the main sites in the old city or taking a Danube river cruise; everything was super close! Of course, there are some drawbacks to staying on a boat (small bathroom and some noise) but overall would recommend based on the great location and the good price. Definitely a great value for the money!

Botel on the Danube

I booked this hotel due to the price, location and the novelty on being a boat on the Danube. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The staff were polite and helped me check in earlier than planned. The room is generous in size though the bathrooms are small which is due to the boat design. You do hear some noise from other rooms as well. Rooms are smart and clean.The location is excellent- within walking distance of the old town and the price is very competitive. The main selling point is being right on the Danube so I would advise to request a room facing the water. The breakfast is decent with both hot and cold food being served. Overall if you are looking for a well priced room in Bratislava near the old town this is a excellent choice.

Botel Gracia, Danube River, Bratislava

1st stay (11 & 12 Oct), room had a musty smell, which cleared after leaving windows open for some time. 2nd stay (26 Oct), no problem re smell. Bathroom very small. Shower OK. Breakfast pretty good. No tea / coffee-making facilities. TV not working on 1st stay: no TV at all on 2nd stay. Therefore, Botel had some downsides: however, we also stayed at supposedly up-market Grand Hotel at Stary Smokovec during our time in Slovakia, & that had problems too (lack of shower-curtain, poor evening buffet meals, cold dinner plates, no tea / coffee-making facilities). Proof that just by paying big money, you don't necessarily get top quality. Overall then, Botel is not bad, but not brilliant: OK for a short stay.

Not suggested for elders.

The hotel is a retired small ship. So adjust your expectations before booking. access from the street to the Botel is not easy and it has no lift to access breakfast room and restaurant on the 2nd floor. Our room was hot and wet in a hot summer afternoon with no air-condition but an old fan which had no cover and so dangerous. We enjoyed support from friendly staff and nice food.

I booked this hotel because it claims to have free parking and close to city center. Location is the only nice thing I can confirm about this botel. They have only 3! parking spaces and of course, they all were filled. I was sent to the parking lot near by which I had to pay for.

Nice hotel, very close to main attractions

The hotel is quite pleasant. It rocks very slightly, which we found quite pleasant. The breakfast was generous and had good variety. Our room was on the land side, so less scenic, though we could see the castle in the corner of our view.
Main downside for us was a very small, narrow room, which was next to the laundry; it was noisy from 7:30 am on. The bathroom was very tight. The beds were comfortable, the lounge was pleasant to hang out in. We had good WiFi in our room. I enjoyed sitting on a sunny deck in the afternoon, reading, and seeing the great view. The main sites were all within easy walking distance, and the price was great.

A novel experience gone poorly

We chose this hotel because we though it'd be a new experience sleeping on a boat. What a mistake. The boat is old. Our room was in poor condition: stained carpets, dirty windows, pieces of the wall coming off. The bed was not an actual bed but rather a hard uncomfortable pull out sofa. The bathroom was clean but very small and your shower was a mix of burning water followed by freezing cold. The room itself was large given that it was on a boat. The room was hot but they provided a weak fan. Breakfast was terrible. We arrived at 8:30 when it started at 7. The milk for the cereal was literally room temp. There was no pastries, just some gross eggs and bread rolls with bologne and cheese. The only redeeming thing about this hotel was the location, we could easily walk to everything. For the price we definitely could have done much better.

Great location. 5 minutes walk to old town.

Very good breakfast considering it was included in the price. I would def. stay here again!

Great for One Night!

We only stayed one night and I think it is a good place for one to two nights stay maximum. The location is great for getting to the old town, and it's fun to stay on the Danube! The botel could use a renovation. It smells (it's on the water so it's hard not to, but would get old if you stay a long time), and everything is old but not in a historic fun way, but just old. The check-in was smooth and the check-out was pretty smooth. The woman was nice enough to call us a cab, but did snap at me about paying (something I already did.) It's a fun experience to stay on a boat, but it's not luxurious so just keep that in mind. But it's a cheap rate, so for the money it's worth it.

Handy riverside location

Botel provides basic but sufficient accommodation. Unfortunately the Botel was undergoing major refurbishment during our stay and the restaurant and bar were closed. Our room looked like it had been partly refurbished: the ensuite bathroom was new, and some fitted cupboards looked modern, however the carpet , despite being good quality, had been down for some time as it was faded by the sun, which poured through the windows. Decor looked a bit institutional: dark wooden formica panelling with large depressing prints of historical naval battles on the walls! Continental breakfast was OK, but cooked breakfast disappointing. Also, dogs allowed in restaurant: although well behaved, I saw their owner hand feeding the dog, then going up to the buffet and touching the food!

There is an extra city fee to pay at the hotel desk, but it is very small ammount.
