Apart Hotel VIRGO
2023 Oct 28
This hotel is excellent for longer stays. We spent a couple of weeks here and will definitely return. The location is amazing, many places can be accessed on foot within several minutes (e.g. Bratislava Castle, Slavin, UFO, and other sites/restaurants/cafes in the city centre). Bratislava city centre is very walkable and so you can get on foot to any part of the centre. The hotel is also centrally positioned when it comes to public transportation and is well-connected to all parts of the city. There are small grocery stores within a few minutes from the hotel and the Billa store is about 10 minutes. There are several cafes nearby and plenty of cafes and restaurants further in the centre. The hotel units have balconies, a dishwasher and washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen including a sizeable fridge and freezer. There's a daily cleaning service. The hotel is in a quiet location and the balconies are facing another residential building. The reception is closed from noon to 1pm. The downsides of the hotel are: slippery bathtub with hand-held shower head and no support for individuals with mobility issues to get out of the bathtub, smoking is not permitted in the rooms but permitted on the balconies so the smoke may come to your apartment which is not great if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke. Also, because the building has no back entrance, the hotel employees smoke in front of the building, at the main reception door and the cleaners may smoke when cleaning the rooms on the room balcony. It'd also be good to have a bin for recycling of plastic bottles, cans and paper, etc.
The hotel is definitely great value, comfortable, and relatively new with all that one needs for a longer stay.
