Mamaison Residence Sulekova Bratislava

Mamaison Residence Sulekova Bratislava

8/10 Good
"The hotel was nice and the staff were very helpful. The reception staff were lovely. The breakfast offers a good choice of continental breakfast style food. It is outside the city walls but is not too far from the the gate into the old town - about a ten minute walk. It is easy to get to by bus from the airport. Only thing to mention is that whilst there is a kettle and coffee machine in the room, there is a charge of 1.5 euros for additional coffee pods. No instant is provided and for a three night stay, two pods between us wasn't enough. Just mentioning as might be worth bringing some from home or getting from a supermarket"

"The location and general beauty of the hôtel were what we expected. A very nice location and such an interesting and charming property. Things we didn’t love inluded the fact that our room did not have an external window. The only window was a small stained glass window looking on to the mezzanine. The room was therefore very dark and not cheerful. Other issues included a blow dryer that was not useful. It was not hot and was so loud I worried about hearing damage. Also, the shower was tiny and not very clean (there was pink mold as well as black stains in some corners). The staff was lovely and helpful. The price was also very good, so in that sense I would recommend it."
