AC Hotel by Marriott Bratislava Old Town
Stayed for a few days over New Year. Hotel was just a little walk away from the main square and castle. The room was spotless, bed was comfy and all other areas of the Hotel were of a high standard. The only negative was the breakfast was rather expensive at €24 each.
