Hotel Avance

Great room. Friendly staff and breakfast was much more than we expected

Spent 2 nights to explore Bratislava, and enjoyed our stay. Convenient for walking throughout old city center, to Twin City ferry terminal, and public transportation. Street outside hotel is somewhat busy with noise late at night. Room was comfortable and breakfast was very good. Overall, a good stay.

Very nice breakfast buffett, included in the room rate. Gluten-Free bread for my daughter. Very close walk to the Donau/Danube, to take the Twin Cities Liner to Wien. A very nice way to go from Bratislava to Vienna. In the Pedestrian Zone of Bratislava.

Being welcomed by name as I walked in :)

Arrived early and got shown straight to our room which was actually the penthouse, a nice surprise. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was ‘ok’, nothing special. Also, our room was a tad too light in the morning. That said, I’d definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Maybe a nice hotel a while ago…. Bit of a last minute trip for work so can’t say whether we received good value for money as most hotels were quite expensive at the time. It’s clearly aimed at the business market but the rooms and public areas are showing their age (albeit very clean). The pillows on the sofas for example in the reception area are completely flat and look quite funny! We had a suite which felt quite bare with no artwork on the walls and air conditioning that had no discernible effect on the unbearable temperature of the room (BTS was in the late teens at the time so not hot). Given the standard of room it was quite noisy from neighbours above and below - there were dogs in the room next to us to complete the experience! The shower tray had no fall on it so the bathroom flooded and it all felt a little dated. Breakfast was basic at best and the bar was closed at 8pm when we came back from our evening stroll. It’s a shame we can’t be more positive as some of the staff were very friendly but on the basis of the room, I cannot recommend this hotel.

The location is good and you can walk to the old city in a few minutes but that’s about it. The breakfast was an absolute disaster. I was not able to have access to the bar or the sitting area twice, because they have “ a private function “ ! So, I paid a high price for my room for this hotel category in the low season ( December) but I wasNOT ALLOWED YO USE THE COMMON SPACES BUT OUTSIDERS WHO DON’T RESIDE IN THE HOTEL CAN !!! I will never go back or recommend it to anyone EVER. I was misled by the information on the booking site. Very, very disappointed.
