As the most of us do, before visiting Bratislava and book a hotel, we searched through many different hotels and botels, in order to find an affordable but also nice hotel.
From the beginning Pressburg attracted our attention. Maybe it was the fact that we have never stayed in a botel before, maybe it was that its rooms seemed rather larger in compare to others nearby botels, at that price. And therefore, before we booked, we 've read almost all the comments.
I have to confess that we were a little worried since we read some comments like "they didn't cleaned the room" or "staff was unfriendly" but we decided to give it a try and we didn't regret it.
By no means i don't say to not pay attention to all comments or that Pressburg was the best hotel i ever spent my vacation in my life BUT you should take into consideration that people in other places and cultures might behave differently than we are used to.
Yes or even better -maybe- since i want to be absolutely fair to all-, maybe it's a fact that a lot of people that work in the tourist industry of Bratislava, especially the younger ones, are treating tourists and visitors with cold smiles and faces (at the best case scenario) or even worse with rudeness (at most cases). Spending a whole week, we managed to visit so many different bistros, restaurants and tourist attractions and we concluded that it wasn't something personal against us. It is what it is and maybe it's the cultural differences that make us feel like that way.
Another similar thing i wish to warn you about is that if you wish to have your room cleaned you must leave the door note, otherwise it wont. Someone would argue "but that's how its done" but maybe you are used to hotels service from other EU places where rooms are cleaned automatically every one or three days, without leaving the door note.
Similarly in order to have your towels changed, you have to point out that you wish to have them changed and NOT hang them carefully in the bathroom. Just leave them down so it is pointed out that you wish them to be changed.
Breakfast is rather nice and adequate with decent variety. Similarly to previous, if you wish to eat or drink something that has ended, just ask it :)
To conlude i must point out the great location of Presburg and its amazing view. Just 15 minutes away on foot from the old town center, with the wonderful view of Danube and the "UFO" bridge will surely give you unforgettable and relaxing moments.
Pros:
-Its position (Nearest Bus and Tram station is 1 minute away, old town center 15 minutes on foot)
-Its view (if you are lucky enough and there are rooms available with a view to the river you wont forget it)
-Room size (rooms are not small and you wont feel "trapped")
-Cleanliness (Main room, bathrooms but also halls and restaurant were all very clean and nice)
-Price (i believe prices are affordable to most)
-Wifi (excellent signal and speed)
-Temperature (at the beginning of winter we were very cozy and warm in our room throughout day and night.
Cons:
-some minor incidents with behaviour but nothing particular. As i said before, we felt a little unwelcomed by people in many cases during our 7-days visit in Bratislava but still we had a wonderfull time.
-lack of hair dryers. if you really need a hair dryer you better bring one with you since there are not many spare ones available to reception.
Don't miss the chance to stay at one very cozy and affordable botel. I believe you won't regret it and you will have a wonderful time.

We stayed at the botel couple of nights. It's a very old boat, and so every ting is very old-fashioned. Breakfast oke, but not great. Rooms very hot! Even at the end of September. Also do not forget to specifically ask for the card for the nearby parking lot! We did not get one, and the parking lot is really expensive without... After a lot of hassle with the parking attended he did let us go without charge.

Nice restaurant, tasty food, but the room was not so clean.

Nice botel on the Dunabe River.
Spent two nights at the Botel Pressburg in early August. Laid-back place on the Dunabe, a short walk away from most of the tourist trails. Decent sized rooms.
Short one star because the reseptionist was not very informing (had to ask ourself about the check-out, restaurant on board, wifi, etc.), and the room could be better cleaned.

The Botel Pressburg was the perfect response to a desire- to capture a little of the romance of the Danube while visiting Bratislava. Our room was better than one might expect on a boat, really very good 3-star hotel experience but one with the Danube out the window. I would definitely ask to be on the water side of the boat. The staff was very helpful. The Pressburg is moored a walkable distance from Old Town, providing a handy base of operations for multiple excursions and an opportunity to walk of a little of the local cuisine we consumed. Breakfast was worth the fee, especially add it came with a river view. I gave it five stars because it delivered completely on my aspirations.
