Apollo Hotel Bratislava

Excellent food. Staff over responsive. Literally stealing plates in front of you when you look away for a second. Hotel is architecturally impressive, with large dinning rooms, best view from breakfast table (if you come early), impressive pillars, 'noir' reception. In short: full of Eastern Europe impressions in a positive way.

The Apollo was a fantastic place to stay, even if it was only for one night. Our room was very clean and tidy, not a huge amount of space to move around with the king-size bed but we weren't exactly tripping over each other, the desk space was big enough for a laptop and there were plenty of electrical sockets available for chargers etc. Having a small balcony was fantastic; when we first arrived we chilled in the sunshine with a cold beer, in the morning we sat outside and had a coffee to wake up. The shower was excellent; plenty of water, very powerful and loads of room; I hate a cramped shower! The staff were brilliant right from us first arriving, everyone was extremely helpful and spoke a good level of English, we also got some very helpful local tips for getting round the city from our waiter at dinner. The food was fantastic; I had read in the description that the restaurant was known for its venison dishes so I wasn't going to miss out on this treat and it was an absolutely amazing dining experience. Breakfast had something for everyone with hot meats, cold meats, cheeses, eggs, bread and rolls, fruit, cereals, yoghurts etc etc.

"The rooms were nice and comfortable, though the couch wasn't prepared upon arrival, but staff addressed this issue promptly. One drawback was the confusing layout of elevators and stairways, which made navigation within the hotel somewhat challenging. On a positive note, the breakfast was very good with plenty of options. Location-wise, the hotel sits in the broader center area, requiring a walk of more than 20 minutes to reach the old town - manageable but not the most central position for tourists focused on historical sightseeing.

The rooms were really clean and tidy, they had everything I needed. The TV and WiFi were really good, especially because the TV had phone screen sharing. The breakfast was really good, all the food was tasty and there was plenty of it. The staff were really lenient with the timing, so even those who came a little late still had a chance to eat something. Breakfast included coffee which was a massive plus for me.

We were happily surprised with how great this hotel was! Considering the price we paid, we kind of got premium service. The room was great and staff were very helpful. They have a parking reserved only for guests, which was a great bonus! I must say, the breakfast buffet was impressive. They had lots of options to chose from and some warm food too (no live counter for omelette etc. though). There is a mall nearby where you can spend time if it's raining :)
