The Bridge

I'll start with negative comments: 1) The stairs to the third floor that everyone writes about are true. It is cramped, even for a very thin person, it is difficult to go up with a suitcase. 2) Lack of evacuation plans. In case of fire, it is not clear whether to evacuate through the fire exit on the terrace (not sure if it was there) or through the narrow staircase. 3) Broken shower cubicle in the room, which no one fixed in three days (i reported it immediatly). 4) The 24 hour receptionist is “in another hotel, you can text him”. 5) Poor room cleaning. On one day, the room wasn't cleaned until 3pm (i came back at 1500 and found it not cleaned yet) and then, the service just made the beds but didn't clean anything else. 6) They forget to put coffee capsules and after 3pm, “all the ladies have already left the hotel” 7) An iron for ironing clothes, with bare wires, “But it works, I checked,” a hotel employee told us. A second one with missing parts, it worked too, I checked it out 8) There are no shelves or racks, if you have two suitcases and two people you will be left with no space at all. It would be possible to make a shelf for suitcases above the toilet, for example. 9) Not enough electrical plug sockets (one socket near the bed) 10) Smoking is allowed on the terrace, when your neighbor is smoking like a chimney, you can't open your window because the smoke comes into your room as well POSITIVE: 1) Good, german air conditioning. 2) Price (subjective, lets call it affordable) 3) Convenient location for me. 4) Rough cleaning of the air conditioner filter was done the same day after we asked about it. The air conditioner was dusty (bad for allergy sufferers) 5) Large terrace shared with neighbors (four rooms on our side and 8 rooms on the third floor in general)

This hostel is located about 3km walk from the center city, but does have some close by attractions (such as the Jeronimo's Monetary) The room is extremely small, if you seat on the edge of the bed and try to stretch your legs, you'll most likely hit the wall. We had our room replaced, as the first room had zero privacy for the toilet and the second room gave the illusion of privacy (as you can see in photos) We've not seen any of the management, as everything is done thru WhatsApp to contact them and they will respond. Breakfast was OK, it had a bit of choices but there was more cakes and cookies then actual food.

Totally unmanned self-service system. It is okay for the stay. More communications about check-out procedure should be provided in advance.
