Advantages: Relatively quiet compared to it's near neighbours Prague, Vienna and Budapest Disadvantages: Ironically it sufferes in some respects from not being as well-visited as the above
and lies to the east of Austria; it is about two hours north of Budapest (though reckon on four hours by rail) and about the same distance from Prague.
It is an old and scenic city but it lets it's charms speak for themselves, in contrast to Prague, say. It's beauty is understated but, ultimately, I prefer Bratislava.
On arrival, Bratislava bears the scars of a city which has lived under Communist rule. The outskirts of the city consist of factories with immense chimneys, high-rise housing projects and lots of grafitti. However, we were interested to note in the historic old town that there was alot of work going on and much restoration of quaint houses and churches.
We arrived by train as we were on a Eurail holiday but cheap flights to Bratislava are starting to appear. It is now possible to fly reasonably cheaply from London to ...
Advantages: It's a bustling, enjoyable city Disadvantages: People don't know how good it is!
I went to Bratislava while en-route from Austria to Hungary. I was really surprised at how civilised it was, I thought it would be an old ghost town but it was totally the opposite - it had massive motorways going into the city which had hardly any cars on at all, so there was no traffic to get held up in and in the centre there were quite a few tower block flats but there were also some nice historical sites to visit. On top of all the history, there were tonnes of high street shops, including a McDonalds and Tesco's!!! It was really comforting to see homely things like that when you're in a strange city.
** Downside **
Bratislava is a lovely city and I would definitely go back and spend more than a day there, however there were a lot of beggars and they weren't just sitting on the streets waiting for money, they were yelling ...
Advantages: Clean, Location, Price, Staff Disadvantages: Breakfast not included in price of room
Good location at the edge of Old Town pedestrian area and infront of the beautiful grounds of Bratislava Castle. The staff were helpful and friendly and spoke good English. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but location, cleanliness, more than make up for this. Rooms basic but more than adequate, nice fresh clean bathrooms with good shower.
One tip i would give is to avoid the breakfast at the hotel. Theres nothing wrong with it at all, in fact it was quite good but at 8 Euro is was very pricey in my opinion. There is much better value to be found in the town centre.
Overall, a good choice and it does exactly what it needs to do. Good option for a weekend visit to Bratislava. ...
