The two-star Old City is a very basic tourist-class hotel in a prime location—the heart of Staré Mesto.

Most of the Old City Hotel's 15 rooms occupy space in an arcade off Michalská. We liked the rooms facing Michalská the most, with their small windows looking over the well-trafficked cobblestone street. Maroon wall-to-wall carpets, yellow paint, and restrained mid-century furniture are the predominant aesthetic characteristics. Other furnishings include Ikea-esque contemporary striped lampshades. Basic room amenities include television, radios, and DVD players.

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.

Located in the most touristy, and arguably dodgiest, stretch of downtown Bratislava (read: there's a strip club next door), the Old City is still a good place for the hordes of weekend tourists who come to drink and be merry. A decent share of Old City's guests is precisely this kind of visitor, although there is also a significant Slovak clientele base.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

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.
