Villa Bea

If you want to travel to Vienna and Budapest by train, the station is 4 mins walk away. The number 1 tram from outside the station will take you straght down into Bratislava. The studio apartment we had was very clean. The outdoor area is pleasant and there is a nice seating area there. The air conditioning worked well. There was enough crockery for simple homemade meals like breakfast. The facilities, such as fridge, microwave, cooker and hairdryer, were all clean and in good working order. The bed was quite comfortable, although it was 2 singles pushed together with 2 single duvets. This wasn't a problem for us personally. I think we got what we paid for.

Our studio apartment (there are 2 blocks of apartments, converted from a large house and garden) looked directly out over the main train tracks and the trains were loud if you left the window open. I did not know beforehand that it was a studio or located so near the train tracks, so this was honestly a bit disappointing. The photos on the website are of various flats and I didnt realise that ours would look over the train tracks or be a studio. However it was very clean and definitely more spacious than a hotel bedroom. If you are hoping to travel by coach to Vienna it is not near the bus station. (The coach is a cheap travel option, but finding the right stop at Vienna train station on the way back is tricky! Train much easier from this location and worth the extra cost, in my opinion.) You can walk into Bratislava from this location, and its an interesting walk if you want it to be, but the Tram 1 is quick and easy, and there are no doubt other buses. Public transport is very easy to use once you work it out, but we got an Uber to the airport on the way back and it was very quick and reasonable. Overall I would say if you need a base to travel by train to Vienna or Budapest as well as visit Bratislava then this is a great location. If you want proximity to a variety of shops and restaurants then its probably not for you.

I like the area close to Central station close to the Villa Bea one Restaurant with super tasty Ukrainian food

It was right by the tram station so amazing for quick and immediate access to city centre! The property was really quiet and peaceful and had a lovely private garden to relax in. The whole facility was very clean and comfortable, both me and my wife absolutely loved staying there!

The garden only.

We booked a deluxe room but were given something else. The photos do not reflect reality, as they only show one of the buildings. The building smelled of mold and was damp. Communication with the host was very difficult, as they either didn't reply or took 2–3 days to respond. The room was not clean, and there were quite a few insects and bugs on the walls. It also had a door leading to a shared courtyard that lacked a curtain, meaning anyone from the other rooms could look in; furthermore, early morning light and sunlight would stream in, causing us to wake up early. There were also broken tiles outside the shower, posing a risk of injury.
