The experience was very underwhelming. Firstly, it was difficult to access the property to check in with no one directly on site and no clear instructions on who to contact. When staff arrived, it came across like the hotel was a bit of an inconvenience, they were not very welcoming and quite abrupt. Cleanliness here is a big issue, bins had not been emptied in the rooms from previous guests, cobwebs and dead spiders all over the place, and a general fusty smell throughout. The place could do with a thorough hoover and good scrub. It appeared the bathroom hadn’t had a deep clean for some time either. The facilities were also an issue, inadequate curtains meant we were woken as soon as sunrise occurred - they didn’t even cover the full width of the door and were not lined/thick enough. The room was roasting hot all night with no working air-conditioning, and having the window open it was so noisy! There was no water, or even a kettle for tea/coffee and we were unable to access any wifi onboard. The balconies outside the room were filthy, needed a good scrub down and furniture cleaned. The partitions between the rooms were torn down or simply not there, so anyone could have walked along the area (and peered into the shower porthole windows which were not covered). I’d rather leave an honest review so people know fully what to expect when booking!

My stay at this botel was overall good, it was extremely quiet maybe due to the time I went but it felt I was the only guest within their hotel. The gentleman who assisted me to check-in didn't really speak English but tried his best to communicate regarding my stay. There was never anyone sat at the reception part of the botel so if you need anyone, head to the bar. The stand out is the view you get of the danube river and sights, especially with a sunset at night! I'd stay here again.

Amazing view of the city. Nice room

Comfy and cosy room, good view of the water from the room we had called the Budapest. close to a few attractions like the UFO tower. The Light Beer is amazing!! Super easy to drink and tasty!

Sleeping on a boat with direct views of a castle, what could be better? 5 euro cab ride to other side where the action is.

When we arrived, they seemed surprised to see us. There was some confusion about which room was ours, even though there were NO other guests on board. We were then shown to our room and told that the brewery and restaurant would be closed for the duration of our stay, and that there would be no hotel staff there, because they were technically closed. We were instructed to just leave our keys on the desk when we left. We asked if there were any restaurants close by that were open, since we had just spent 6 hours on a train and almost an hour on a bus/walking to get there. We were told one of the boats next door might be open, but they weren’t sure, and just use google maps. We were literally the only 2 people on the boat for our whole stay. This is not only unprofessional, but it is so unsafe to leave two foreigners to fend for themselves. The phone system wasn’t working, no WiFi available, the drain in the shower was clogged and not working properly, we couldn’t turn the heat down, so it was almost 80° in our room, and we ran out of toilet paper. I can see how it would be a decent place to stay if it was open and staffed properly, but our stay was definitely not good.

Loved the uniqueness of this botel also being a brewery. One staff member in particular was brilliant, but others wee also good. Food and beer were great, thoroughly recommend this place, would love to come back.

What a wonderful stay at the Botel Dunajský Pivovar! I arrived at the wrong entrance to the bar/ restaurant instead of the Botel reception, but they were still very accommodating and called the host who gave me a tour around the Botel and showed me to the room. The room was ideal right of the River with a beautiful view of the castle, its only a short walk to the UFO tower and bridges to link you to the other side. Lovely restaurants nearby and a great bar on the boat itself, which is separated and soundproofed to the Botel portion very cleverly done and it was an amazing stay, I would recommend it!

Great novelty place to stay with really nice rooms and restaurant. Book on the water side rather than the park side so that you get a fantastic city view

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 staff 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.

Beautiful view

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.
