Hotel Perugia

The three-star Hotel Perugia is one of Bratislava's most charming hotels. A 14-room property on a cute, quiet alley in the thick of Staré Mesto, the Perugia is a good choice for those for who value a charming location and full standard amenities.

The hotel's rooms are aesthetically restrained. The walls are peach and the carpets a rich blue. Single beds have art deco half-moon headboards. Though roomy, quarters tend to feel a bit sparsely designed. Rooms with windows facing the alley offer romantic views of the traffic below, and all rooms feature air conditioning, television and Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are well-scrubbed and tiled, with corner showers.

One highlight is the striking second-floor marble atrium, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a massive, abstract sculpture sitting in the middle of the floor, as well as some leafy foliage (including a palm tree).

Guests tend to be in their 40s and 50s, and come largely from Europe and the United States. There is a meeting room on offer, which helps explain why so many business guests stay here. The restaurant downstairs (along with the "gypsy pub" on the premises) offers full room service for guests.

Breakfast is available for an additional fee.
