Posizione centrale, staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Colazione adeguata.
Camera rumorosa, avevamo di fronte una cappa forse di un condizionatore. Solo dopo le 23 si spegnevano.
Si sentivano rumori e voci che arrivavano…

Goede locatie en vriendelijk personeel. Prima kamers, in verhouding tot de prijs.
Bedden waren erg hard en het was niet mega schoon.

Questions about Bru Bar & Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Bru Bar & Hostel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Bru Bar & Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Bru Bar & Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Bru Bar & Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Bru Bar & Hostel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Bru Bar & Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
