Oh how we love Hotel-Penzion Arcus, a modest 13-room pension northeast of Staré Mesto. Spend a few minutes at the Arcus and that all-important (and all too easily forgotten) truism is made abundantly clear: it's the management, so often, that makes the hotel. Arcus's genuinely friendly staff makes it an oasis in a desert of dispassionately-run hotels.
The rooms are quite simple, with wall-to-wall carpets and new furnishings throughout. We saw matching bedspreads and curtains in a creamy orange in one room, and sturdy, comfortable-looking duvets covered in starched sheets in another. Rooms are remarkably spic-and-span, and furnishings are spiffy. Bathrooms are for the most part fairly unremarkable, though we did see one enormous circular tub that could probably fit an entire family.
The Arcus features a beautifully landscaped back garden, which includes a dining area and a small fountain. During warm weather, it's an ideal place to relax. On request, the management can organize dinners here for guests.
The only downside is the fact that the Arcus is not in Stare Mesto. It's a good 20 minutes away by foot, about half that by tram.
Note: There's no elevator, so those traveling with heavy luggage might want to request a room on the ground floor.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Hotel-Penzion Arcus neighborhood
Nivy & east of Staré Mesto is another large neighborhood designation, stretching from Spitálska on the west to Bajkálska in the east, bordered on the south by the Danube and the north by Záhradnícka. Though the parts of this neighborhood closest to Staré Mesto are dotted with some beautiful old buildings, this area consists largely of modern, assembly line Eastern Bloc structures. There are several small green parks strewn throughout, however, so this neighborhood is not without its charms. Still, this is not the area of Bratislava you came to visit. The distances here are more vast than your map might suggest, too, so consider hopping on a tram to get around. While touristic wanderings probably won't lead you here, you may need to visit Nivy to get to or from Bratislava's main bus terminal.
