Nice but room for improvement
Stayed for two nights over a weekend and found it to be very quiet with not much atmosphere. The room was spacious. Locker however was over the other side of the room. Small kitchen available which could have been cleaner. Fridges available but both had a funny smell. Nice big common room available. Probably wouldn't stay again as it was a little overpriced for what it was.

Friendly service, good bed for the night
The hostel is quite basic but it's also centrally located, comfortable, spacious and the recceptionist/proprietor offered a very warm welcome. There's free tea and coffee, fridges in your room, and it's only a short walk to the main town square. I'd recommend this for a budget stay in Bratoslava.

Amazing stay!
The hostel was so spacious! Unlike other hostels that try to fit as many beds into the room as possible, this hostel really went the extra mile to have open areas in the hostel, they even added a couch in the room!

Home from home experience
Great host, helpful, freindly and full of local knowledge, Location excellent, short walk from all the main attractions and transportation. Very Clean and modern with all amenities needed (ear plugs Inc and can be useful on a weekend night). Felt more like a shared home rather than a hostel. Thank you.

A Hostel for some, a Hotel for others
Excellent location right next the old town with also easy access to public transports (tramways). Obchodna Ulica is a well known shops and trade street in the heart of Bratislava. The place is very comfy and reasonably priced, nothing of a luxury but you have a proper sleep plus a good hospitality. Wonderful staff at the reception. Coffees and teas available for all, all day at the lounge...have stayed there years back, enjoyed it then and enjoyed it lately. Will always go back for sure and I am in my 60s plus.

Hostel Folks was great! Very clean and modern hostel, it wasn’t very busy during my stay so it was nice and quiet the whole time. Large common room to hang out in. Showers had great hot water and water pressure. Towel and lockers included in stay! Definitely recommend this place. Thank u Rado for all the local recommendations!

Great hostel, with a friendly host
The room was clean and pretty comfortable, although a slightly thicker duvet would have been appreciated, it was warm though and the showers were especially good for both water pressure and temperature. Towels and ear plugs are provided in case anyone needs to know! Great local knowledge and very informative on check in. Rado also recommend that we do the free city tour (11:30am and 2pm every day) and this was brilliant. One thing to be aware of is that if you are out late you will have to buzz security to let you into the hostel and the front gate is locked at some point between 10pm and 1am. I'd definitely recommend staying here, fantastic location, great value for money and overall a really pleasant stay.

It is one of the best hostel I'd ever stay in my life. Nearby the old town, close to the palace, it is completely normal to receive a room upgrade!

Great hostel!
I was just here overnight with my daughter. We had a great experience. It would have been helpful to know beforehand that the entry is a bit indirect. We arrived late. The door led to a dimly lit hallway where a security guard who didn't speak English pointed us to the elevator that took us up to the floor where Hostel Folks is located. Once there, the staff were friendly, welcoming, informative, and efficient. The rooms are clean, modern, comfortable, and quiet. Great location - easily walkable to the Old City and to the well run bus system that connects you to everything else. After we checked out, they let us store our luggage in a locked room. And we were able to use their comfortable common room to wait for our later flight. When I asked the staff where I could find the art that they had in their reception area, he contacted the artist and filled me in on purchasing options. When her art proved to be in limited supply, he offered to let me buy something right off the hostel's walls! Really, they went above and beyond.

Freezing cold showers so stay sweaty or suffer!
I went into have a shower at 7.30 a.m. and the water was already cold! The hot water gets used up after one person having a shower (in the female showers) so I would advise only people who do not mind having freezing cold showers to book this hotel. Its just not worth it! Its also noisy with trams running 24/7 and the thump thump of the nearby nightclub so no sleep either!
