Hostel Recommendation for Bratislava??

    Myself and 4 friends(all male, aged 21-24) are heading to Bratislava in early February for a long weekend (Thursday to Tuesday).

    A couple of us have been to Bratislava briefly before but ended up staying in a "hostel" that was actually converted student dorm... i.e. 5 floors of corridors of rooms, no atmostphere.

    So Im looking for recommendations for a hostel - from my travels so far hostels with a capcity of no more than 100, though usually less, are best as they tend to be smaller(duh?), and more friendly. Somewhere with a common area is important as thats usually where all the fun starts in the evenings. Kitchen is not really important.

    We're on the trip for a mix of sight-seeing, and....admittedly, some drunken mania.... so a sociable fairly central hostel without a curfew is needed.

    Oh, and preferably a relatively clean one - we dont particularly care, but dirty hostels dont tend to attract many members of the fairer sex...

    Hmm I can strongly advise against dorms but alas our hostel experiences in Bratislava were not positive in the slightest. Filthy dorm one night, horrible motel the other.
    Make sure you get one in the city itself - we were on the outskirts and was a nightmare to travel (stupid ticket machines)
    I think there was an Orange hostel which was meant to be ok, but sorry cant vouch for it.

    Yep, came across the Orange one on GoMio.com which is where Im looking so far.

    They seem to have more genuine/small/intimate hostels than HostelWorld.com which although it has a much more comprehensive list, tends to list a lot of the dorm type places.
