One good thing that can be said about Hostel Patio's 13 private rooms (and 117 dorm beds) is that they are run by an able, multilingual young staff that appears to enjoy working at the hostel. When we visited, we took their crisp professionalism and the cheery green entryway as auspicious signs. We were confident that the rooms inside would mirror the well-maintained simplicity.
Sadly, we were disappointed. The rooms are more than slightly worse for wear: the carpets are torn and stained, and stand-alone bed units are of poor quality. The bathrooms are a cut above in the private rooms, though nothing to write home about. Value-minded backpackers just looking for any old place to crash will find Hostel Patio to be acceptable, but that's about it.
Upsides? Location, for one. Just 10 minutes from the heart of Staré Mesto, the Hostel Patio is near the action but not defined by it. This is also a quiet hostel, located inside a courtyard off busy Špitálska. The hostel also has a lovely back patio of its own, an open space enclosed by three walls, one of exposed brick. Other perks include a fussball table, a bike storage area, and free linen and towels.
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 Patio Hostel neighborhood
Staré Mesto is the hub of charming, old Bratislava. It's a knot of winding alleys, charming Medieval, Baroque, Gothic, and Neo-Renaissance imprints, and inviting cafes and bars. There are a few architectural injections of modernity in Staré Mesto, though these are the exception to the rule. For those familiar with Vienna, Bratislava's Staré Mesto can feel like a miniature variation on a Habsburg theme. Staré Mesto's architectural highlights include the Neo-Renaissance Slovak National Theatre, the Romanesque-Gothic St. Martin's Cathedral, and Michael's Gate, the city's medieval gateway. The legions of weekend break tourists lured to Bratislava by the city's increasing buzz spend most of their time in Staré Mesto and the adjacent Hrad (Castle) district. Happily for locals and visitors alike, Staré Mesto is full of hip bars, cool cafes, and folksy restaurants. The downside to this buzz: During high season, this neighborhood's warrenlike alleyways can get quite crowded.
