Hotel Saffron - Bratislava

This is a nice hotel and staff was very helpful and people are very nice.

My wife and I had a one night stay over at this hotel and we liked it a lot. It's modern and clean with everything you expect from a good hotel. With one (for some people) huge exception! There is no shower curtain and the shower head is hand held only. What pussles me is, that everything at the hotel looks new and modern, so somebody has actually paid a lot of money building or at least renovating this facility recently and still thought; "people don't really need a shower head holder, let's save those 50 cents per room". The only other nuisance would be for people wanting to watch TV. There is a working very small TV in the room, which would work okay for the purpose, but only if you understand German or Slovakian. There are no UK/US channels and movies are dubbed. Would I stay here again? Certainly at the offered price I would do another one night stay over, but the nuisance with the shower is enough for me to recommend another hotel for people caring about showering and in need of several nights in Bratislava. If you don't care about shower facilities and TV then this is probably the best hotel in Bratislava on a value for money basis.

A great comfortable hotel 300 m from good eateries and 500 m from old town. Bratislavia is a good value for money old city with good road and boat access to Vienna.

Good hotel

The Hotel Saffron is a large modern business hotel. Some people may say that it lacks character and has no soul, but it suits me. I am not interested in chintzy décor or expensive artwork, I like clean efficient and practical accommodation. With this type of hotel all the rooms are the same, which is great for the single traveller, as it means that I get a full size room and not a single broom cupboard with an even smaller bathroom. It took me a day to get the air con to my complete satisfaction, but this was operator error, nothing to do with the system. I was surprised that the bath had no shower curtain to stop accidental spillage onto the floor, it just meant that I had to be a little bit more careful. The TV didn't have any English speaking channels, but again this was my fault for not being able to speak any other language except English. If I was desperate to see Eastenders or Corrie, I have the option of taking my laptop with me and watching it on line. There were no Tea / Coffee making facilities in the room but there is a Coffee lounge on the ground floor. In a large Hotel I generally find that the Breakfast selection is wider than in smaller Hotels and this was the case here. The Hotel is situated close to two Tram stops which give access to the majority of the Tram routes in Bratislava and the recently revised Tram route No.2 now provides a direct line to the main Railway Station. I have no complaints with the Hotel Saffron and would recommend it.
