This would have been ok if it was much cheaper. The social/cooking/showering facilities were less than basic and not very clean. Beds ok and staff pretty unhelpful. Located in an ugly part of the city, about 15 minutes walk from the old town. more

I stayed here last night and didn't like it all. At first it seemed nice as the girl checking me in was very friendly. However I soon realised that the hostel itself is very pricey for what you actually get - dirty showers with barely warm water, a 6-bed dorm with beds that make you itch (flees?) and also the... more

This is possibly the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. When I arrived there was a few people waiting to check in ahead of me so I took a look in the guest book. Every single comment was along the lines of 'get out now' and 'this place is awful'. Since I had already booked ahead I had no... more

I have never stayed in a hostel before, until a week ago when my boyfriend took me on a suprise trip to Slovakia. In order to keep to a budget we stayed at the Patio Hostel.

Basic hostel with relatively clean rooms and facilities. The location and price were also good. Only downside was that we were on the 3rd floor and the elevator was broken - 6 flights of steep steps. more

when i first went to the hostel, the area it was in looked a bit dodgy, but dont worry about that. go into the hostel and you will come across some very friendly and approachable staff, and what are actually very comfortable rooms. the common room is great too, with free table football games and darts, and a tv with... more
