It's strategically positioned just a short walk from Old Town Bratislava, making it an ideal base for exploring the historic center and its myriad attractions. Guests appreciate the convenient proximity to restaurants, shops, theaters and public transport, which makes getting around effortless.
Visitors frequently comment on how the hotel is perfectly situated—many attractions are within easy walking distance and both tram and bus stops are only a stone's throw away. The accessibility extends to the central railway station, adding another layer of convenience for travelers.
Despite its central location, the hotel exudes a tranquil ambiance, offering a quiet retreat after a day of sightseeing. This combination of accessibility and serenity makes it a highly recommended option for those looking to experience the best of Bratislava. The hotel’s staff and amenities further enhance the experience, ensuring a pleasant stay in a spot that balances both comfort and convenience.
Breakfast at Film Hotel generally receives mixed reviews from guests. On the positive side, many found the breakfast to be good, tasty, delicious and varied with a sufficient selection. Some guests particularly enjoyed the atmospheric setting and the friendly staff serving breakfast. The breakfast was often described as plentiful and satisfying with enough variety to cater to everyone's basic needs.
However, there were several areas where improvements could be made. Some guests felt that the breakfast was rather minimal and lacked variety with certain items not being replenished promptly. A few mentioned the absence of hot food when arriving an hour before the breakfast area closed. Others noticed that the breakfast spread was not extensive and sometimes the food quality and freshness did not meet their expectations, particularly for the price charged. Another common issue was the late breakfast start time, which was inconvenient for those on business trips or with early schedules.
Overall, while breakfast at Film Hotel has its strengths in taste and basic variety, there is room for enhancement in terms of food diversity, availability and service timing.
Film Hotel's restaurant and bar were unfortunately closed during guests' stays, which was a disappointment for those looking forward to dining in-house. However, the hotel's location offers a convenient opportunity for guests to explore local dining options with several bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, guests can enjoy a pleasant walk down to the nearby old town, expanding their culinary experiences beyond the hotel. While breakfast options at the hotel received some criticism, the proximity to various eateries compensates for the closed dining facilities within the hotel.
Situated conveniently on the edge of the Old Town, Film Hotel enjoys a prime location that allows easy access to local attractions. The hotel features a unique Hollywood theme with each room decorated in honor of a famous actor or personality from the film industry, giving it a charming and vintage vibe.
Guests often highlight the spaciousness of many rooms and apartments, praising the ample space, large beds and impressive shower pressure. Several rooms come equipped with large terraces, adding to the comfort and charm of the stay. Cleanliness is another positive aspect frequently noted with many reports of rooms and bathrooms being well-maintained and hygienic.
Despite these positive points, some issues seem recurrent. A common remark is that the rooms are dark with inadequate lighting contributing to a somewhat dingy atmosphere. The outdated decor and facilities appear to be a sticking point for many, suggesting a need for modernization. Reports of musty odors and insufficient ventilation, paired with instances of dust and mold, detract from the overall experience. The air conditioning system is often noted as insufficient and in some cases, non-functional, making certain rooms uncomfortably warm or cold.
Breakfast at the hotel receives mixed reactions with some guests appreciating the selection of both hot and cold meals, while others felt it should be included rather than purchased separately. The rooms' amenities seem lackluster to some guests with a surprising lack of basics like mini-fridges, hair dryers and sufficient storage space.
Overall, Film Hotel offers a generous amount of space and a quirky, thematic charm, but would benefit greatly from updates and more consistent maintenance to meet modern travelers' expectations.
Visitors to Film Hotel have varying experiences with the beds. While some guests found them comfortable, many reported issues. Common complaints include hard, creaky and uncomfortable mattresses, often described as challenging or rock-hard. A few noted the discomfort from thin or worn-out mattresses and thin pillows. Additionally, the beds often come with bed linens that don't seem properly washed and are made of poor synthetic materials, sometimes in a dark blue, unpleasant fabric. Despite a few reviews appreciating comfortable beds and the provision of thicker blankets upon request, the recurring theme is discomfort. This is compounded by instances of cleanliness concerns, such as bed linens not being washed thoroughly and even finding a used condom under the bed. Overall, those looking for a relaxing sleep might find the bed quality at Film Hotel to be lacking.

Many guests specifically appreciated the accommodating nature and responsiveness of the staff, even pointing out their ability to solve problems efficiently.

The signal coverage appeared to be poor with some guests mentioning that it was unable to reach their rooms. The weak signal often led to frustration, as some found it practically impossible to connect to the internet.
In addition, there were comments about the WiFi reception being overly restricted to specific areas like the reception, which limited the convenience for guests trying to access the internet in their rooms.
