Hostels in Bratislava

For fans of gore-fest movies, hostels and Bratislava will conjure up heady (or should we say headless) images of how a holiday can go horribly wrong. But not to worry. Although there are plenty of ways to get into dire straits in a foreign capital, especially after sinking a fleet of beers, getting massacred by a mysterious hostel tribe is unlikely in Bratislava. In fact, we'd go as far as to say that you're more likely to meet a flying pink pekingnese than to have a run in with some bloodthirsty satanists.

Bratislava boasts many points in its favour for the footloose and fancy free. For starters, it's a picturesque place, with a proud tradition of brewing (and drinking) beer. Second, it still stands as one of the less costly cities in Central Europe, so your pennies should go that little bit further.

Here at Bratislava Life we've got a growing number of options for hostel hunters. We've even created a talking phrasebook. Have a look and see what's cooking.
