Up there with one of the worst hotels I've stayed in. However, the comedy value was equal to the frustration and horror experienced. After traipsing down a gangplank on a reedy riverbank, the reception was tacky but harmless enough. The rooms though were something else. Former cabins, they were cramped to say the least. It took us five minutes to... More

Right from arrival we were unimpressed. After waiting 40 minutes in an empty reception to check in, rude and dismissive staff from the restaurant begrudgingly gave us a key for a room. The 'mini bar' was not only empty, but filthy and the bathroom stinking of smoke. Many of the features that the hotel boasts on its website were exaggerated,... More

Booked a single room that in fact was double for single use. As it is a botel I expected to find boat cabin style rooms and bathroom, so if you are not used to this type of rooms please check before booking. Towels and bathroom were clean, and it was nice to have hot showers at all time. I stayed... More

Never stayed at a botel and figured we'd give it a shot considering the price was right. Dirty, poor service, room didn't have towels or toilet paper when we checked in. The staff was well informed on what appeared to be Slovakian soap operas (always sat in the lobby watching television, even as we waited right in front of them... More

The Botel Marina is situated on the River Danube, in sight of Bratislava castle, and about 10 minutes walk from the old town. We stayed for 3 nights at the end of February 2013, when the weather was very cold. However, our room, although fairly basic, was clean, warm and comfortable, and we thought it good value for the money... More

Excellent value for money, particularly for budget travellers. The hotel offers spectacular views across the Danube and The Novy Most (New Bridge). It is within good walking distance of the historical centre of Bratislava. I was slightly dubious before checking into this hotel, particularly after having read the real mix of guest reviews on here. However, my initial doubts quickly... More

I always check in to hotells with a big smile on my face, very positive. ( to bad the man in the reception dont respond) I was close to say: sorry for bothering you, but may I please check in? I got a room with a wiew to land, or some rocks.. well that didnt ruin my stay. The room... More

We booked the Botel Marina for a 4 night break, as we thought it would be good to stay somewhere thats not the run of the mill hotel. Arrived Monday at about 10pm (first thing we noticed is that there was a very strong smell of indian cooking obviously from the restuarant), went to check in after about 5 mins... More

We decided the Botel Marina was to be our 'landing pad' for a good friend's stag do in the beautiful city of Bratislava, and like many have pointed out, the location was spot on. Within easy and relatively quick walking distance to the Old town and Au Park shopping centre. Unfortunately, the location was the only thing going for this... More
