The air-conditioning was broken and it was 32 degrees Celsius in temperature so was unbearable to stay in. We kept the door window open all day and night and made it slightly better but this was not suffice.

The Botel room was well appointed and comfortable. The view across the Danube to the city and the Bratislava Castle was outstanding. We arrived by bicycle and the manager ensured that we had a safe place to store the bikes. The only issue was that the ventilation system was not working. Staff at the Botel and the adjoining restaurant were friendly and proficient. The restaurant food was very tasty and set at a good price point.

Excellent location, nice place to drink, dine and stay. Staff very helpful.

Room te erasure was nearly unbearable and opening a window wasn’t really an option with the noise from river traffic all night and day. The drain in the shower appeared to be blocked meaning that the bathroom floor was flooded with an inch of water every time I had a shower. Double beds here are not double beds. They are two single mattresses in a double frame, with a single duvet and one pillow

Perfect spot overlooking Bratislava Castle. Also, just within walking distance is the city centre and the blue church. Great hotel for a quick stop for adults only and definitely not with kids. Had an extraordinary experience of staying in the boat-turned hotel.

Fantastic location but pretty worn down. Mattresses are very soft and worn as well. Nobody at the reception in the early mornings and the late evenings. Needed to leave early and didn’t find anyone for check-out.

Location and view was GREAT. It is a pity that this hotel is in very poor managememt hands. Room and carpet was dirty, shower was clogged, etc. There was no hair dryer in the room and to make matters worst, I have not seen a receptionist nor any staff after I checked in till the time I checked out. I just left the room card at the recepetion when I left about 10:00am. Location was great but when we arrived about 21:00 pm, there was a concert going on in the area and we were not allowed to park the car in the nearby parking space, so we drove around till exactly 23:00 when the police opened up the parking lot. So, please check with hotel if there will be an event going on during your visit.

If you are late to this property, it can be a challenge to get in. Thankfully, Expedia came to the rescue and someone came to help. This place was deserted! Pretty sure I was the only one there. While there were mentions of bugs and cleanliness issues in posts, I didn't notice any issues. The place was decent, but there is nobody to help if you need it and it's a walk to everything (but not that terrible). For staying on a boat, it was a neat experience, but I'd recommend staying in the city center. The stress when nobody was there for checkin and not being able to leave my bag to pickup later on checkout were things I appreciate staffed properties for. Otherwise, this place was fine.

Location was nice and that's about the only positive. There were mice in common areas, room was not clean with obvious cobwebs all over the walls and after we spent one night we realised the door didnt even lock properly so anything could have happened while we were asleep. Owner/manager completely disregarded all issues when we said we want to check out early and pointed us to hotels.com straight away with no further discussion. Only reason we managed to get the remainder of our stay that we didn't use refunded is the extremely helpful guy from hotels.com and the only nice person working for this "hotel" called Matej who we can't thank enough for his support.

My room was amazing, clean and comfortable.

Overall it wasnt bad but definitely needs a little work to be top notch. Pros - Views of the city Cons - attention to details of overall condition of property

Botel Dunajský Pivovar has nice rooms, but it operates as an airbnb apartment and not as a 4-star hotel. It says that it has a 24-hour reception, but that's not true. The reception is open 3pm - 8pm and not on Sundays. If you have a problem, there is no one to turn to. On Saturday we called four times to two different contact numbers but no one answered. No service or support is provided. I wonder what would happen if we lost the entry card. I don't know how it is in the summer since what I am describing happened in the two days of November 28-29.

My stay was terrible. My room was really hot. Thermostat wasn't working. Asked receptionist and could not get it fixed. Had to open window or door and got attacked by mosquitoes. Left me with many bites on body. Asked for iron and ironing board and was told did not have one. It said I could get one on request. I think what I read about hotel was false. Would not recommend going there again. The location was great though.

Absolutely terrible and false advertising. I stayed 2 nights and almost went to another hotel. I am also emailing the place directly with how bad it was. The rooms are ovens and if you open up the window and turn on the lights, your room will be completely bug infested. I sat in the dark to avoid it. The TV claims you can get channels and gives you directions, but you get nothing. There is no receptionist at night and I almost ran out of toilet paper with no back up roll. The receptionist was worthless. I asked her about the TV and her response was "I would have to check with the other hotel rooms" and gave no other solution. I asked her what time they serve food until at the restaurant and she said midnight, place closed around 9:30. It said online the brewpub was open Monday and it was not. The upper deck they show to relax on was closed the entire time I was there, which I was hoping to relax on and watch the boats on the Danube. If you stay here, be careful on the wooden floor because it is extremely slippery. I love visiting brewpubs and breweries all around the world and was extremely excited to stay at one on a boat on the Danube. But the expected experience was not even close to what I got. Out of all the places I booked in Europe for my trip, this place was horrendous. I could not wait to get out of the city. You would think if your rooms are 86 degrees at night, they would at least provide a fan. Do not stay here!

Emma, the lady at the front desk, was very kibd and helpful. I think the should consider changing their carpet as it does not look clean. The bathroom cleanliness is also questionable. They dont have AC, which was fine for me, just a heads up.

We had an amazing stay. The boat is centrally located away from the rush of the city center and old town yet easily accessible to both by foot, tram or ride shares. There are a few really nice bars and restaurants around the boat like Au Cafe and Tyrsak. It was also great to just sip beer on the deck of the restaurant looking over at the Bratislava castle and the Danube enjoying the sunser. We spent every night just sitting outside on the deck and having a couple of drinks before bed. The room itself was clean and had a great view of the Danube and the castle. It had all the basic amenities. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Will definitely go back on our next trip to Bratislava and highly recommend the Botel.
