Gay Friendly Hotel Bratislava

Located in Vrakúň, this 5-star boutique hotel is situated on the Rye Island and offers elegantly decorated rooms, an indoor pool, a traditional Turkish spa, and a conference room. A wine cellar and cigar room are also available. Free valet parking is possible on site. Rooms at Amade Château feature hand-painted wallpaper, hand-woven blankets and individual décor. Room service is available throughout the day, and some rooms include a private patio or terrace. The Château Amade’s restaurant serves a traditional Slovak cuisine and overlooks the English garden. A patisserie with hand-painted nature scenes offers fresh pastries and cakes, and guests can enjoy fireside cocktails at Lobby Bar. In the Slovakian countryside, this is a nice alternative to nearby Bratislava or Vienna.

The Rococo/ornate decorative style gave a great feeling of times gone by and was unlike any other hotel we have experienced, pleasantly so. This mansion is on Rye Island, a fertile area of the River Danube, and the hotel has its own mangalica pig farm and vegetable and fruit gardens. This organic and fresh approach meant we ate extremely well several times in the hotel restaurant. The wellness area is something else again, being in a separate building of its own and having a beautiful pool and spectacular Turkish Hamam spa. Outside is an English-style park with an outdoor pool and tennis. The hotel is build in Sissi style, where every room has a unique decoration style.

The spa is the best part of the hotel. Lovely pool, jacuzzi but especially the hammam treatment is a great experience. The location is great, because its proximity to three capitals, but still it is a real hide-away from the stress of big the big cities. The rooms are beautiful and stylish. Upon arrival we could select a room, since all of them are furnished in different style and colours. The hotel is named after hungarian writer, who lived at the Rococo period and some of the lobby reminded me the movie Maria Antoinette because of its colourful design. It is truly unique.

Gay Hotels Bratislava

The Grand Hotel River Park is situated in downtown Bratislava, directly on the banks of the river Danube and only a 35-minute drive from Vienna International Airport. It offers accommodation in luxurious rooms and suites.

The spacious rooms at the Grand River Park offer panoramic views of the Danube River or the castle hill, a safety deposit box, a minibar, a flat-screen TV, free WiFi, air-conditioning and a private bathroom.

Located on the 11th floor of the hotel is the prestigious Zion Spa Luxury offering views of the river and the surrounding countryside. The property boasts an indoor pool, hot tubs, saunas and a complimentary fitness area.

Hotel is just a 10 minute scenic walk along the Danube to the amazing Old Town area of Bratislava. You can also take advantage of Bratislava’s excellent tram system which stops right by the Hotel. The adjacent office buildings also have several restaurants as well as a market with plenty of baked goods, beverages, groceries.

Grand Hotel River Park is a 5* gay friendly hotel situated on the river side of the Danube river and is one of our best choice when it comes to a gay hotel in Bratislava, the Slovakian capital.

Very well-appointed lobby and rooms in this hotel with outstanding views of the river. Access to the Old Town in an easy 15 minute walk on a beautiful boardwalk along the river. Highly recommend the Zion spa services as the massages we had booked prior to arrival were exactly as requested with an incredible staff.

The entire hotel has a very harmonic, comfortable, elegant style. Spaces are huge but still friendly, rooms are large and beautiful , – especially if you get river view. Rooms have all the comfort you need – if there was a coffee machine it could have been even more perfect.

There is a wonderful spa on the 11ths floor – 25 m pool, saunas, steam bath, jacuzzi and a large menu of massage and beauty treatments.

Rooms are large, with high ceilings. A lot of high-teach but users’ friendly gadgets in room and bathroom, but no coffee maker. Large bathroom with walk in shower and tube. Large window allows a lot of light and can be open. Here comes the problem – if you like the fresh air rather than rely on air conditioning (which by the way works well) and you like to have your window open, than you have to take the riverside room. It is slightly more expensive than what they call hillside rooms but provide great views and quiet environment.

Hillside rooms are overlooking four-lane dual road and double tram tracks and particularly trams produce a lot of noise, so sleeping with open window is not possible. The hotel has all facilities one might expect at five-star place. Out of hotel, within few minutes’ walk there are several more restaurants and pubs, from beer to Italian. How to get there: 40 minutes taxi drive from Vienna airport.

Buffet breakfast (29 Euro) is excellent however, a little too pricey.

Location : a good 20-25 minute walk to the Old Town. However it is next to a very fast and efficient tram line ( no. 1) straight to the Centre and Old Town. Once you’ve mastered trams it’s easy.

Trams : buy a ticket at the yellow machine at the tram stop, 70 cents to get to the Centre/Old Town pays for a 15 min trip. Instructions in English. This is plenty of time to get to the Centre/Old Town as it is 3 stops and v fast. Validate the ticket on the tram. The nearest tram stop with a yellow ticket machine is across the road from the hotel and 2 minutes down Stetanovicova street (follow the tram line down). Coming back to the hotel from town, the stop is Franz Lizst and is directly at the hotel ( this stop doesn’t have a yellow ticket machine).

Rooms: large and luxurious. Beautiful contemporary design. There is AC/ heating which can be moderated by 2 degrees. Room very hot for us so we had the window open the whole time and it cooled down well. Bathroom, very spacious and again beautiful design however shower water inconsistent, first person to shower hot water took 10 minutes to come through, thereafter hard to cool it down. Beds, hard for a luxury hotel.

Breakfast : broad range of cold and hot dishes available however the staples ran out frequently eg coffee, milk, OJ and were slow to be replenished, even when requested. The hot dishes were good quality and tasty however they were not hot, they were at best tepid and often cold. These are not hard areas to fix, come on, Mercure, you can do better in such a beautiful hotel.

Overall: Smart beautifully designed hotel which is currently style over substance but with a few service tweaks would be superb all round.

The room is clean and it is good if you are staying for 1-2 nights. The breakfast is average. You can have choice of cheese, 2 egg options , bread options and some fruits.

Check in was quick and we found our room to be clean but a bit small. Beds were made every day and the bathroom was fine. You could get drinks at the reception and they served some snacks. But the hotel is only a 5min walk from plenty of restaurants and bars. A lovely city to explore and a reasonable priced hotel to stay in.
