Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise, though mitigated — Some guests note that street noise can be audible, but rooms are described as soundproofed, so it may not disturb light sleepers.
- Shared bathrooms for some rooms — The pension offers rooms with shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit all travelers, though they are consistently praised for cleanliness.
- Small, no-frills property — With only 8 rooms and 1-star classification, the pension is basic—no on-site dining or common areas beyond a leisure/TV room.
- No pets allowed — The pension does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
