Botel Gracia

Centrally located with easy access to attractions. Peaceful retreat amidst the city's hustle. Varied delicious breakfast options. Friendly Ukrainian lady enhances the enjoyable experience.

This is now the 3rd time I have stayed here, so I knew what to expect. I wasn't disappointed. A comfortable cabin, friendly staff, great location, and a lovely breakfast. The bar is good for a pleasant drink in the evening. Recommended.

I had only one day in Bratislava and was looking just for a place to sleep and get a decent breakfast before heading out. I also wanted something a little unique and I got exactly that with Botel Gracia. The check in person was friendly but be forewarned they do not take American Express. I, and he, did not know this but after he called his manager we switched to Visa card, so make sure you have another form of payment than Amex. The hotel is on a decommissioned boat. It has a certain "charm" - is quite basic and old fashioned interior. The room key is huge - the room was small, bathroom tiny but you had the basics. It was fine for one night but I definitely would not have been comfortable staying longer. I was exhausted so fell asleep pretty quickly, though the pillows were big uncomfortable foam your head bounces off and the "mattress" is a couple of inches on a wood platform. If you are really tired, you'll sleep - if you need soft comfortable bed and pillows, not so much! The view was really nice. I awoke at sunrise as the curtains were really thin - I prefer blackout ones. Breakfast on the upper deck was nice - had usual suspects. eggs and bacon, coffee, etc. Was certainly adequate and had what you need. All in all this was a fun one night stay, the location was good and if you are looking for something a bit different and you are not expecting luxury, this is a fun place to try.
