Stayed here several months ago on a working trip to Bratislava. Arrived late, but staff in the restaurant more than happy to provide something from the a la carte menu. Room was fine - decent size, bathroom and decor.
Many hotels are pretty much to a formula in this part of the world (or maybe everywhere?!), and the Avance breaks that mould in a laudable way. It also has the advantage of being close to the Danube and the main sights in central Bratislava.
Would certainly stay there again - business or pleasure.

Checking out of the hotel in the morning after a two-night stay. Strongly recommend the hotel to anyone staying in downtown Bratislava. Great location, 1/2 block from the Danube river, within easy walking distance to large mall, old town Bratislava, casinos, restaurants and other options.

The restaurant in this hotel was also a very strong point of the stay. One of the best breakfast buffets we have had in our extensive European travels. Eggs and Omelets to order, bacon, ham, salami, smoked salmon, fresh croissants, fresh-cut fruit cocktail, roasted vegetables, the list goes on..... amazing!

We also enjoyed a lunch and a dinner at the hotel restaurant and were equally impressed. They offer a business persons lunch special M-F that was a great deal. The waitstaff had the class of a five star hotel.

The room offered everything needed, a nice safe large enough for a small laptop. Great amenities in the bathroom. If I could ask them to improve one thing I would tell them to get a bit better quality towel.... everything else was just what we expected and more.

Very bad experience. I arrived with my fiancee. I had a confirmed phone reservation 3 days ago. After my arrival I was told that the hotel is full. No alternative solutions. I spent another 3 hours looking for a hotel in the center of Bratislava. I found Danube Gate, good value for money and very helpful service at reception...

We knew virtually nothing about Bratislava before our trip, but this hotel looked like it was a in good location close to everything and easy to get to. We were pleasantly surprised with nearly everything about this hotel.

First, the location is truly wonderful. It's only a short walk to Hviezdoslavovo Square, home to the Opera, Philharmonic, and many wonderful sidewalk cafes (along with an embarrassingly garish USA Embassy). It's also easy to get to from either the train station (take the 13 tram to Nam L Stura) or the Twin Cities Liner dock. Once you're there if you're doing the usual tourist thing the only reason you'll need public transit is to go out to Devin Castle.

The rooms were nice and newly done in a boutique hotel style (clean lines, euro-modern styling) with very few rooms on each floor that keeps the noise down. Air conditioning and flat screen TVs seem to be in all rooms. The bathroom was very nice with a full tub, large vanity, towel warmer, etc. Wired internet is provided in the rooms, you can get a cable by asking the front desk. We found it to be very reliable.

The first floor of the hotel serves as a very small lobby and bar/coffee shop. In the back is the hotel restaurant. We only visited the restaurant for our included breakfast which was a typical European breakfast of meats, cheeses, yogurt, breads, fruits, and eggs if one desired. Nothing spectacular, but quite nice with excellent service.

If we're ever back in Bratislava, this will be the first place we look for someplace to stay.
