Patio Hostel

  • December 2, 2006
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Pleso from Brisbane, Australia
As you approach the entrance of Patio Hostel through a dilapidated alley reminiscent of "Euro Trip’s" unkind representation of Bratislava, do not be deterred. Inside, Patio is a decent hostel for the budget conscious backpacker. It offers basic but comfortable two to twelve bed dorms. Prices range from just under $25 for a bed in large a shared dorm to about $40 for a double room (cheaper in the low season). Patio's decor is Spartan and its amenities are clean and easily accessible from each room.

The hostel has minimal facilities beyond provisions for sleeping and luggage storage. It is, however, centrally located close to Bratislava’s delightful Old Town which has plenty of places to eat and things to do and see. The multi-lingual staff at the hostel will be more than happy to make recommendations to you and provide you with a map and directions. There is a tram stop directly opposite Patio and it is also close to buses and not far from the main train station.

All in all, Patio is a good choice of basic hostel accommodation in Bratislava. It is slightly more expensive than some of the other options (such as student housing) but this is compensated for by its being much less down at heel, better run and closer to the action. It is open year round and bookings can be made online at www.patiohostel.com Use Patio Hostel as a base from which to explore one of Central Europe's prettiest capitals!

Initially you would think the hostel was situated at a ghetto-like place because the nearby buildings looked a bit rough. But the building of the hostel was alright. My friend and I stayed in a six-person dorm for the price of about 500SKK per night. The room was clean, spacious, and IKEA-like. There were large drawers under the bottom bunk bed that you could lock your stuff in. For a deposit, you can borrow a lock and a towel. There are also simple kitchen facilities and plenty of tea bags/coffee available. The location was superb, too, close to a tram stop and around the corner from the main streets, with a supermarket nearby.
