Danubia Gate Hotel

Stayed for a brief period in the individual rooms. Rooms are spacious enough and the bathroom is decent size and clean. Hotel is near the center and really near the Bratislava Bus Station, so its perfect for those who are travelling multiple countries. The breakfast is also really decent, with different cheese, meat (sausages, bacon), eggs in all shapes, vegetables, fruits, juice, coffee and tea. There is different kinds of bread and pastry as well. Almost all staff spoke english (including cleaning) and all of them were really friendly. I went in the winters ending and there were enough blankets and sheets to spend the night. It well equiped for solo travelers, There is a hairdriyer, locker, coffee machine. I had a little trouble using the shower to get hot water at first, but once I got the gist, things flow nicely.

Good value, good location. Very friendly staff. Because the hotel is so close to downtown, there are lots of breakfast options. Every time, we choose the hotel breakfast. Some reasons: a wide-spread assembly of meats, egg dishes, and especially cheese. Lots of vegetarian options. Nice yoghurt-porridge bar. Fresh-baked goods. Excellent coffee. Staff speak excellent Sloviakian, Czech, English and German. I suspect they can handle Italian and Russian quite well, from what I've overheard. It feels like a family business ... which means that all the staff genuinely enjoy working there and providing good customer service. For me the only indicator of a quality hotel is whether their staff want to work there ... Danubia Gate Hotel meets and exceeds that standard. Heck, I want to work there!

The localisation of hotel is excellent. Building is settled in centre of city and well-coordinated with major districts in Bratislava like Old Town, Nové Mesto or Petržalka. Moreover, breakfast were delicious and full of variety of choice with available products to eat. Every person from hotel staff, I met, was kind and helpful with any problem or difficulty. Room, in which I was accommodated, was cosy, comfortable and cleaned by staff everyday.

Location, rooms, breakfast and staff.

Very pleasant staff (my wife speaks Czech, I speak only English and German) and they were very pleasant and helpful in all languages. Offered us a welcome drink, explained breakfast procedures, asked about parking, everything. The breakfast was excellent: accommodating for both big-breakfasters (eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans) and vegetarian/vegan options. Wide selection and interesting choices. Room was upgraded to a suite. Jacuzzi bath was a bonus. Suite had multiple TV screens (over the bed, on the wall, even in the bathroom. A decent desk for work (a requirement for me, even when it's a pleasure trip), and that was provided with a decent chair. A little note offered the loan of a laptop ... nice touch. Small fridge filled with mini-bar items. A kettle and instant coffee/tea was provided. (So cooking and on-site food prep would be limited, but that was not our need). Location was great. Ten minutes to downtown in a pleasant stroll. Just outside the inner city, but close. We had windows open, and the street noise was minimal. Birdsong in the morning. A bonus: opening the windows turns off the air-conditioning. Why doesn't every hotel do this?
