AC Hotel by Marriott Bratislava Old Town
입구를 못찾아서 처음엔 열이 받았지만, 서비스가 좋고 호텔 시설이 진짜 좋음. 또 진짜 진짜 깨끗한 호텔임. 바닥에 물을 흘려 닦는데분명 더러운 먼지들이 묻을거라 생각했지만 완전 깨끗했음. 누워 자도 될 정도로 청소가 잘 돼 있고, 시설들이 좋아서ㅡ전자레인지도 구비함ㅡ잘 쉬다 감. 거기다 올드타운 바로 접경지라 늦게까지 올드타운에서 놀다 들어오기 좋음. 수퍼도 가까워서 뭐 사먹기도 좋음.

We always choose this hotel whenever we visit Bratislava, and it never disappoints. The staff were friendly and welcoming as always, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location couldn’t be better — right in the city centre, within walking distance of all the main attractions ...

Park Inn by Radisson Danube Bratislava
Very nice hotel and location, the rooms were very hot and couldn’t turn the temperature down and made it a bit uncomfortable. Pillow wasn’t comfortable either. Didn’t realise spa was an extra charge as we had booked the hotel especially for this reason
