Aubri O'ConnorJanuary 10, 2013The waiting room with seats is upstairs, as are outlets to charge. Wifi works there, too, and you can see the arrivals/departure board from there. They make you view an ad every 15min for wifi, FYI.
Martin HúbekApril 25, 2017Whatever you do, NEVER take a taxi in front of the station. Either call one or go straight to the city and have a look for one. You will save tens of euros.
It’s a very old building. If you are arrived to the capital of Slovakia its really dissapointimg to see this station.
Thorsten S.February 6, 2015Really crowed trainstation. If you want to relax before your trip starts, get a coffee in one of the surrounding coffee shops. Trainstation is connected via an express train to Budapest and Hamburg.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that somehow suddenly they were able to find 300K€ to clean the station just for the the sake of Ice Hockey World cup 2019. For years they weren’t able to do so... Shame!
Bratislava is beautiful but the train station leaves something to be desired. It smells bad, is illogically laid out, and is ridden with people of... questionable virtue.
Sharon PeppardNovember 26, 2018Station could do with a makeover however staff really helpful which more than makes up for it
Foodie PandaNovember 9, 2018To get to Prague, get the regiojet train. Cheaper and more comfortable option then the regular trains
CherylAugust 31, 2014Easy access to rest of Slovakia, Vienna, neighboring countries. Easy to find. 15-20 min walk to old town or 10€ cab ride.
Luis Vargas RamírezNovember 22, 2013Zombieland. On Friday try to book in advance. Get ready with a gas mask, sometimes students life is hard
Never take a taxi from taxi stand! You will be robbed.
If I was the mayor of Bratislava I will immediately give a resignation. It is a shame a capital city in Central Europe to have such a dirty,ugly and miserable central railway station. Speechless.
If you are waiting for train, try Ranno Ptaca down the street. Dellicious food and nice atmosphere.
Nicolas BertrandAugust 7, 2014This station isn't beautiful but the drinks and foods have correct price. You can also travel towards big european cities thanks to this railway station.
Desirée MacDonaldMay 18, 2023Small train station with a few tiny shops. Call a Bolt (Uber equivalent) when arriving instead of using the taxi stands out front. You’ll save €10+ just to drive 5 minutes to the city centre.
Irene GazpachoAugust 25, 2014No tourist information spot, I had to go from one window to another until I decided to use the free wifi and get the info myself. Easy to find your way to your platform.
It will only get better from this point - whichever direction you’re going.
There is a small shop with great wasabi peanuts and lots of dry fruits.
If queues, take the one between windows 6 and 7. It's served by two cashiers
𝙶𝚘𝚗𝚣𝚊𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚜January 1, 2018Take an Uber to and from here. It is the easiest way and also very affordable.- Jorge Ayuso MolinaSeptember 30, 2016A very old station. Normal experience. It is at 15 minutes walking from the city center.
Khaled ☤July 24, 2015The station and the trains are not that new, but it's quite descent for traveling purposes.
Agnese BernateMarch 3, 2013On the second floor - nice and tipical restaurant for budget travelers. + free wi fi
Sort of shame for the country to have main railway station looking like the one in Hostel movie.
- Clark GilliesMarch 29, 2018Ok small train station that is easy to navigate. Few shops and cafe’s but nothing special
Watch for your belongings. This is the place where they steal pretty much anything that's not nailed down.
AlexSeptember 8, 2014Like any station in some small east european postsoviet place. Grey. Strange drunk persons. The most depressing place in Bratislava.
- Only way to get good espresso here is to turn left via the main antrance, and 400 meters left is Mercure Hotel Bratislava
well, just before IIHF 2019 ice hockey champions station get som upgrade, some painting and some clean up.
Get Saris dark beer if taking IC to the Eastern Slovakia, time will pass quicker :)- Martin HúbekJune 22, 2012Don't mind all the hobos and people faking their need of money. Just head straight for your train or exit if going the opposite way.
Many connections for other cities in Slovakia and abroad, the station though is screaming for a renovation!
After a long train. Oh god. Finally, this journey is finished.
Jana KlasováAugust 26, 2014One of those places where the sense of smell is your biggest enemy. Just leave and do not look back. Please.
Very old station. For being the main for the capital should be reconstructed!
Paulilla Small SmallAugust 29, 2014Small station. They should have some cleaning and repairing a bit. Only one bar for non smokers inside. Not good
Nechutna hnusna smradlava stoka plna bezdomovcov a kurev. Ble- Beware: toilets close soon after midnight, and open around 4am. Don't come here expecting to be able to go to the loo!
Come here just before the train is leaving with a ticket bought in advance through the internet...and when arriving, leave ASAP !!! Disgusting !!!
