Hotel review: Hotel Loft, Bratislava, Slovakia

As I mentioned before, for our trip to Bratislava we got a little bit merry on NYE and decided to throw caution to the wind. I stumbled across Hotel Loft on booking.com and was drawn in by the industrial feel with ultra-modern interiors. The decor felt like it had decor and promoted a homely feel rather than the sterile vibe that hotels sometimes have. After spending two nights in the hotel, I couldn't be happier with our choice.

Located just a ten minute walk from the Old Town, the hotel was in the perfect location. Away from the main hustle and bustle yet close enough to be part of the action. We opted for the premium room which I think it worked out to be only about £25 more than the standard. It was totally worth paying extra. We got to enjoy a free mini bar, incredibly spacious rooms, free wifi and a divine king-sized bed. I adored the industrial vibe of the room with it's brown, neutral tones, making it a joy to come home to each night.

One thing that really caught my attention while researching hotels was the fact the hotel boasted it's very own micro brewery in the grounds. Something we definitely took advantage of while we were there! They offered a more casual pub downstairs with a selection of traditional and European meals. With more than 200 wines on offer as well as their beer Fabrika, you could be in for a long night to try them all! Alternatively, there is a smarter wine bar opposite if you want to be more sophisticated. When the sun is shining they have a great beer garden too! We opted to eat in the beer pub one night and it was really good. Nothing ground-breaking but huge portions of comfort food that was perfect after a long day.

If you ever find yourself in the city of Bratislava, I would wholeheartedly recommend the hotel. It's something a little different from the sterile environments, the staff couldn't be more helpful and it's in a great location. The brewery really gave the hotel something extra special - and I'm not even a beer drinker but I loved it!
