Pension GremiumEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Pension Gremium is a tiny five-room pension located two floors above the Gremium Restaurant and Bar. It's in the heart of Staré Mesto and thus a fine option for visitors whose primary objective is to find a centrally-located place to crash.

Renovated quarters are all decorated simply, but in modern, colorful tones. En suite bathrooms are tidy, and all rooms have cable TV, Wi-Fi and mini bars.

Unexpected perks include free wireless Internet access and the aforementioned fab Staré Mesto location. (The pension is a bit of a trek from the train station, however.) Another upside is the pleasing sense that you're occupying a little secret corner of the city, unknown to most. The Gremium's rooms are also quite large—there's none of the cramped feel of some of Bratislava's other budget hotels.

The Gremium bar appears to be a sports bar above all else. When we visited, it was abuzz with pre-match jitters and football fan energy. The sweet receptionist flatly maintained that the bar usually closes by midnight. We're inclined to believe her.

Breakfast is available for an additional €5.
