ZAŽI:-) Orient Express Pressburg

Sehr empfehlenswert

Positive: The location to the train station. The size of the apartment and the modern facilities. Negative: The entrance hall and stairs/lift were very dated and didn’t reflect the beautiful property.

Unsafe, dingy, disgusting hole Negative: Check in was chaotic - was told the location of a key box, but no code. Had to call several times before anyone answered, then was told the address, but not what floor, or which side of the building (which has 2 seperate staircase). . We arrived in the evening, and had to use our phones as lights to get up the stairwell, as there were no lights beyond the first floor. It's a concrete building in poor condition in a pretty edgy area, so was a scary experience. When we eventually got into the apartment after another phonecall (thankfully answered this time), the place was disgusting. There was a horrible, musty smell throughout the place, the bedrooms were grim, the light switch in the main bedroom was broken, and there were some battery fairy lights hanging from the light fitting instead. The sofa in the living area was dirty and old (and I think that was some of the source of the smell). None of us wanted to sit on the horrible sofa, or be in the place at all, so we left immediately and booked into a hotel. This place is charging hotel prices for a dingy hole, and shouldn't be allowed on booking.com. We are a family of experienced travellers, who are also fortunate enough to be able to say "let's just get out of here and lose the cash", which saved our experience in Bratislava. If I were a solo traveller who couldn't afford to go somewhere else, that would have been a very different story, as I would have been spending some very unsafe and unhealthy times here. I don't think I'll be using booking.com again, as there doesn't seem to be any regulation of listings.

Value for money, and central to main trainstation and old town. Positive: Very spacious, quiet street, fits well for Family. Luxury bathrooom. Tram stop nr.1 a minute away take you to old town in 5 minutes. Pizzeria in street level.

Positive: Gute Lage, großzügig, 2 Balkone Negative: Nicht besonders sauber, im Kühlschrank war eine undefinierbare rosa Flüssigkeit. Die Küchenausstattung war sehr rudimentär und nicht besonders appetitlich. Kommunikation ausschließlich über einen KI-Bot einfach nur unterirdisch. Schlüsselübergabe umständlich (man muss anrufen, um den Code für die Keybox zu erhalten). Keine Kaffeemaschine vorhanden.
