The beds were not very sturdy in the room I was in. Any movement from the person above moved the whole bed top and bottom.

Was very surprised when I ordered a beer from the bar, that although you could order food from the bar, you couldn’t eat food at the bar from outside even though you were a guest in the hostel. The common area was full of people that at one point started smoking in the common room even though the hostel provides a dedicated smoking area not 2 feet away from the table they were playing at. I understand it’s Europe but have some modesty about yourself.

The room got extremely hot at night so only got a few hours before I just walked around town early in the morning as it definitely felt better.

No paper towels or hand dryer in the bathroom on the 5th floor was disappointing.

Lockers being right behind the door in our room made leaving in the morning very loud, because the door kept slamming into the lockers, so I apologize to anyone that woke up.

Wouldn’t stay again if I’m Bratislava but it’s probably great for 18-26 year old traveling groups.

The hostel itself is okay, it has good amenities, such as a laundry, kitchen, bar and patio area which is very pleasant. I was in a four bed dorm on the 5th floor and the fellow guests were quiet and respectful. There was some noise from larger groups on the floor, but not after 10pm. There was only one toilet and shower to share between three 4 bed dorms which I think really isn’t enough. To use another toilet you need to go down to another floor. The building is old, dingy and dated, but not dirty.
The staff were mostly friendly, I was able to leave my luggage before check in and after check out for free. No free towel, had to pay extra and you had to put your own bed sheets on your bed too, which I’ve not done before at another hostel.
The area around the hotel is not the nicest, there’s a lot of poverty in the area and you can definitely see this. Was approached in the evening by a guy in the alley approaching the hostel asking for money. Was a bit unswerving. Was also told by another guest that the street the hostel is one’s one of the most notorious in the city. However, I felt fairly safe in the day, just keep an eye out.

Patio Hostel, Bratislava - Top

Review of Patio Hostel, Bratislava

I had a great stay at Patio Hostel in Bratislava in a 6-bed male dormitory with three bunk beds. The experience was overall excellent. Each guest gets a locker in the room with a provided key, which is very convenient. The beds were comfortable, and the hostel provides clean sheets and a towel. There's also a small shelf and a power outlet next to each bed, which is a nice touch.

A major plus was having an en-suite bathroom, making things much more convenient. However, it could have been cleaner—there was a soaking wet towel on the floor for days, which wasn’t ideal. Still, having a private bathroom in the dorm was a big advantage.

The staff was very welcoming and even offered free earplugs, which I had never seen before in a hostel—definitely a great perk! The hostel also has a free laundry service (you can use the washing machine for free), a spacious kitchen, a luggage room for after check-out, a terrace, and an attached bar (which I didn't get a chance to visit). The only downside is that check-out is at 10 AM, which is a bit early.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Patio Hostel and would definitely recommend it to other travelers!

The hostel is a perfectly serviceable place for a cheap stay that's very well located. They do have a bar, free laundry, a garden area, and a nice kitchen.

The rooms tend to be crowded and have little ventilation. During summer, it gets very hot and is difficult to sleep at times.

Still, a good bargain for your money.

Smelly bathroom

The hostel is easy to find within Bratislava.

Check in was easy and we were able to put our bags in the storage room.

The room: We stayed in a twin room with a private bathroom. For a cheap hostel it was okay although like many reviews by the evening the smell of warm dead rodents was coming from the bathroom to which every time we entered we had to spray deodorant. I'm glad we only stayed 1 night.

Towels were provided

This hostel was very quiet when we stayed (end of March)

There is a bar with board games however the staff who was behind the bar had a \"I don't want to be here attitude\" and was on her phone 99% of the time.

The bar smelt of smoke which was off putting and the tables were unbelievably sticky.

Overall I would not stay here again.

The room was ok but dusty and the worst, the night, it was really noisy when some peoples at the same floor don't care about the way to be quiet (5th floor) and think they are alone (group of peoples who speak loudly and slap the doors) , hopefully, i got my earplugs and thanks god.
Not a good impression and for my new travel, I'm gonna choose something better.

NOT a family place but for single students ONLY

The property is should be considered as student dorm/hostel but NEVER go with your family.

smoking and drinking groups are on both sides, at the parking area on entrance and the backyard/patio, round the clock. for two nights we couldn't sleep because of smoke, smell, chanting and yelling.
Rooms are hot in the summer and you can NOT sleep with closed windows.

The shower area is \"partially open\" in a mixed hostel and so, boys are hanging around to tease!

Poor wifi, makes it useless.

Staff, uummmm....!
looks more like governmental officers rather than private business.

So, never go there with your family!

I was surprised at how spacious it was and loved the little down lighter at the entrance which had the name of the hostel illuminated on the ground which made me sure I was in the right spot.

Patio Hostel in Bratislava - in the city center

The hostel is good for solo travellers, not for couples/families. My husband stayed there for a night, and I booked the twin room without its own bathroom by mistake, so we had to share the toilet and showers with many other people. They only had one toilet for that block (at least 12 people sharing), so it was always the case that you have to go to another block for toilet. It was so noisy during the night, and you can't really sleep with people shouting outside the window. But again, it will be a good place for backpackers to socialize and hang out together, not for families.
