Hotel Tatra, Bratislava

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, friendly people, cheap
Disadvantages: The dishonest

...A good way of getting to Slovakia is by boat from Vienna, as it brings you to the centre of Bratislava. Despite the rough edges Bratislava has plenty of charm. Street cafes, narrow passageways and varied architecture (the contrast between the old and new Bratislava on opposite sides of the river an example) provide interest and entertainment - an excellent destination for a weekend break. We stayed in the Boat Hotel on the Danube which was reasonably priced and well situated. You shouldn't feel any motion sickness either. For journeys outide Bratislava the train is a good way to travel. It is very cheap and mostly on time. They are also often crowded (almost everyone with a back back), and don't sit in the departments with signs of children on the doors if you don't have any - it is for families, and doesn't mean no kids.

Advantages: Great Museum
Disadvantages: Wrong Country.. Czech Republic

...An earlier review described this as being in Slovakia. It is in the Czech Republic, near Slovakia, in the town of Koprivnice. Technicke Muzeum Tatra A.S. 742 21 Koprivnice, Záhumenni 369 Location: South of Ostrava. Open Tue - Sun 9 - 17 in summer, 9 - 16.00 in winter Tatra's works museum displays some great and very funky cars, and other implements of transportation. If you have never seen a Tatra car, you will think that the Edsel was a style setter when you see one! www.tatramuseum.cz This is located in the NE of the Czech Republic. If you go, you should also stop in Brno, my favorite city in this part of the world. It is the home to the Star brewery, and is very pedestrian friendly. Another town that that is worthy of a visit is Bratislava - which IS in Slovakia. Ostrava, CZ is friendly, but pretty... Read review

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.... Read review
