Love this hotel — I always stay here when I’m in Bratislava. The rooms are cozy and beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere feels very welcoming. Having two lovely restaurants on site is a big plus. Highly recommended.

Park Inn by Radisson Danube Bratislava
Check in was smooth, rooms spacious and clean. The spa was lovely to relax after a day of walking and breakfast was good. Ideal location steps away from the old town and the tram/bus stop. The only criticism I have is that the pillows are thin as pancakes.
