Hotel No 16 Bratislava

We arrived in Bratislava late in the evening and we wanted a hotel that was not that far from the city center. We drove around a bit and then just decided us for to follow one of the citys hotel sign. One of them looked a bit different because the name was No 16.

Following in sign in a city when it is dark can be hard and this was - I felt that we were driving in circles. Finally we arrived and it looked more tan a big villa than a hotel. There was no real entrance it was a normal door at a mansion! Please ring the bell a sign said - so I did. I didn´t know if this ws a real hotel or this was a brothel. When the door open I still wasn´t sure - there was this beautiful and friendly woman all dressed up in black slim suit adressing me and the interior looked like a mansion with running water in the staircase. I just had to confirm - is this a hotel? Yes she replied - I started to relax a bit more - my son was sitting in the car and he was tired and hungry.

The hotel turned out to very very nice - it was cosy - but it still had this brothel look - what ever that is? - ee.g. the doors was covered with puff leather and so on. For being Bratislava I thought it was it was rather expencive 145€ for a night including breakfast until I had stayed there.


The hotel is situated in a quiet, tree-lined hillside neighborhood
only a 10 minutes walk to city center and the castle. Probably one of the best location in Bratislava, capital of Slovakia.
