EuroCheapo Review: Hotel Antares is the best-looking small hotel in Bratislava, appropriate in scale and coziness to count as a true boutique hotel.

EuroCheapo Review: The 31-room Botel Gracia's dated modernist style is so exquisite that we feel the need to beg the management never to renovate.

EuroCheapo Review: The Botel Marina, one of Bratislava's two hotels-on-a-boat, features cramped, though nautically charming, quarters.

EuroCheapo Review: A Jewish "penzion" located just outside of the Old Town, Chez David has eight clean and simple rooms.

EuroCheapo Review: Slovak construction company Doprastav operates this large, imposing dormitory-style hotel with 30 room "sets."

EuroCheapo Review: Across the street from the Presidential Palace and a short walk from the heart of Staré Mesto, Downtown Backpacker's Hostel is a small hotel-hostel hybrid.

EuroCheapo Review: Another business-class hotel in Bratislava, the Apollo benefits from smart decorative touches.

EuroCheapo Review: 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.

EuroCheapo Review: Hotel Tatra is an 86-room business-class hotel—one of many in Bratislava that makes the grade in generic terms but doesn't offer much in the way of charm or design.

EuroCheapo Review: Spend a few minutes at the Arcus and that all-important truism is made abundantly clear: It's the management, so often, that makes the hotel.

EuroCheapo Review: The Ibis Bratislava Centrum's 120 rooms are perfectly nice, and the location (just outside Bratislava's bewitching Staré Mesto) is fab.

EuroCheapo Review: Old City is an adequate, tourist-class hotel, with 15 rooms perched off Michalska in Staré Mesto.

EuroCheapo Review: Hotel Danube is expensive, though it also has much to offer. And it is stunningly well located at the foot of Staré Mesto with views over the Danube.

EuroCheapo Review: Hostel Patio's 13 private rooms (and 117 dorm beds) are run by a very competent, multilingual young staff that appears to enjoy working at the hostel.

EuroCheapo Review: Upstairs from the rather swank Restaurant Carabic is the very simple Pension Carabic.

EuroCheapo Review: Pension Gremium is a tiny five-room pension located two floors above the Gremium Restaurant and Bar in the heart of Staré Mesto.

EuroCheapo Review: The atmosphere at Pension Vilo is more relaxed than your average pension, and the overall effect is reminiscent of a home stay.
