Very Good

Sasa, Michol, and the front desk staff are awesome. Sasa, especially, makes the time to help you find things to do, local information, and eateries in the area. Excellent job, Sasa!!! Keep up the great work!
The location is fantastic. There are shops and cafés nearby. It is also a short walk away from the historic centre. The beds were comfortable. Just one minor negative point: The doors might need to be fitted a bit better. The doors make a lot of noise when being closed. But other than that, the hostel is a great place to stay. The staff are kind and friendly. There's also a really nice atmosphere in the hostel.
pros:
clean room (was scared of some of the reviews about bed bugs but didn’t find any), easy check in, smoking room pretty cool, free luggage storage, free towels/ shower gel with private room
cons:
creaky floor, sometimes loud (but to be expected in a hostel), no ac/ fan etc, bed not the comfiest, wifi not the fastest/ best for streaming
For me this is an almost perfect trip in my entire Europe trip. Too bad, I am only staying for one night and never had a full Bratislava experience. I enjoyed the free laundry service as well as an access to kitchen with entertainment and the luggage is free. I am definitely considering my official stay whenever I am in Bratislava.
Overall it was very good. Excellent location and transport links. Beds were comfortable and decent size lockers. Kitchen area is superb. Cleaning staff do a great job. This is a large and busy hostel and there are always many people coming and going. Some have said it's noisy but I didn't have any problems. I had a very pleasant stay here
The hostel is a perfectly serviceable place for a cheap stay that's very well located. They do have a bar, free laundry, a garden area, and a nice kitchen.
The rooms tend to be crowded and have little ventilation. During summer, it gets very hot and is difficult to sleep at times.
Still, a good bargain for your money.
The hostel is easy to find within Bratislava.
Check in was easy and we were able to put our bags in the storage room.
The room: We stayed in a twin room with a private bathroom. For a cheap hostel it was okay although like many reviews by the evening the smell of warm dead rodents was coming from the bathroom to which every time we entered we had to spray deodorant. I'm glad we only stayed 1 night.
Towels were provided
This hostel was very quiet when we stayed (end of March)
There is a bar with board games however the staff who was behind the bar had a "I don't want to be here attitude" and was on her phone 99% of the time.
The bar smelt of smoke which was off putting and the tables were unbelievably sticky.
Overall I would not stay here again.
Review of Patio Hostel, Bratislava
I had a great stay at Patio Hostel in Bratislava in a 6-bed male dormitory with three bunk beds. The experience was overall excellent. Each guest gets a locker in the room with a provided key, which is very convenient. The beds were comfortable, and the hostel provides clean sheets and a towel. There's also a small shelf and a power outlet next to each bed, which is a nice touch.
A major plus was having an en-suite bathroom, making things much more convenient. However, it could have been cleaner—there was a soaking wet towel on the floor for days, which wasn’t ideal. Still, having a private bathroom in the dorm was a big advantage.
The staff was very welcoming and even offered free earplugs, which I had never seen before in a hostel—definitely a great perk! The hostel also has a free laundry service (you can use the washing machine for free), a spacious kitchen, a luggage room for after check-out, a terrace, and an attached bar (which I didn't get a chance to visit). The only downside is that check-out is at 10 AM, which is a bit early.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Patio Hostel and would definitely recommend it to other travelers!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hostel itself is okay, it has good amenities, such as a laundry, kitchen, bar and patio area which is very pleasant. I was in a four bed dorm on the 5th floor and the fellow guests were quiet and respectful. There was some noise from larger groups on the floor, but not after 10pm. There was only one toilet and shower to share between three 4 bed dorms which I think really isn’t enough. To use another toilet you need to go down to another floor. The building is old, dingy and dated, but not dirty.
The staff were mostly friendly, I was able to leave my luggage before check in and after check out for free. No free towel, had to pay extra and you had to put your own bed sheets on your bed too, which I’ve not done before at another hostel.
The area around the hotel is not the nicest, there’s a lot of poverty in the area and you can definitely see this. Was approached in the evening by a guy in the alley approaching the hostel asking for money. Was a bit unswerving. Was also told by another guest that the street the hostel is one’s one of the most notorious in the city. However, I felt fairly safe in the day, just keep an eye out.
Rooms were great and had lockers. There’s also a kitchen, laundry machine, and a common room which is open 24/7 and where you can work on your computer or chat with friends.
