Most of Old City Hotel's 15 rooms occupy space in an arcade off Michalská. Old City is an adequate, tourist-class hotel. The reception area, up a flight of stairs, has a very warm, folksy feel, replete with an antique radio and telephone on display. The feel is quite nice in an understated vintage-furniture-store way.
We like the rooms facing Michalská the most, with their small windows facing the well-trafficked cobblestone street. Maroon wall-to-wall carpets, yellow walls, and restrained mid-century furniture are the predominant aesthetic characteristics. Other furnishings include Ikea-esque contemporary striped lampshades.
Located in the most touristy stretch of downtown Bratislava, Old City is a great place for the hoards of weekend tourists who come to drink and be merry. A good share of Old City's guests are precisely this kind of visitor, although there is also a significant Slovak clientele base.
