The Downtown Backpackers Hostel Bratislava is a fine institution. Since there are now multiple other hostels in Bratislava and price can be volatile. Sometimes they are even higher than in neighboring Vienna.
The hostel offers a restful nook yet it is central enough to be walking distance from everything (except the unpleasant bus depot). The hostel's location gives access to the pub scene as well as the sights of the city. There are plenty of banks, stores, cash points, and other amenities nearby.
The hostel staff are often foreigners, but they are still as friendly and cool as the locals. They will bend over backwards to make you comfortable but they stay chill doing it. There is a decent kitchen, comfortable beds, cramped, dank shower rooms and toilets, and a pleasant sitting room with internet access and games. The décor of the hostel isn't the world's best, but the building's details make up for that.
Bratislava is the sort of city that many people either flat-out hate and many fall in love with. This hostel is the same way. We found museum fanatics to be less happy and city walkers and pub crawlers to be thrilled.
