Of Bratislava's two boat-hotels, we prefer the Botel Gracia over the Botel Marina. In terms of location, the 31-room Botel Gracia is the outright winner, sitting as it does at the foot of Staré Mesto across from the business-class Hotel Danube.

And in terms of style, there's also no competition. The dated modernist style of Botel Gracia's rooms is increasingly hard to find in Bratislava. The rooms look like sets from a Cold War thriller. Warm orange-brown wood veneer paneling, green carpeting, and attached writing tables are all perfect expressions of a bygone era of modernism€think pre-1989 Central Europe. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, television, telephones, and Internet connection.

The Gracia's exterior, which looks as if it was last renovated in the early 1980s, only adds to the mystique. If you want some fresh air, grab a drink at the lovely rooftop bar.

The hotel's riverside rooms face Bratislava's amazing space-age New Bridge, which was previously called the Slovak National Uprising Bridge. Both names are somehow fitting for a bridge this notably retro-futuristic.

Breakfast is included.

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.

Staré Mesto

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.
