Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic facilities — The pension is simple: no in-room tea/coffee in some rooms, a vending machine instead of a full bar, and limited common areas.
  • Mixed value perception — Some guests feel the price is high for the level of amenities, especially given the overall rating is below the city average.
  • Small rooms — Rooms are compact, as expected in an old building, which may not suit those seeking more space.
  • Could be hard to find — The pension is on a narrow street with shops, and guests note it can be tricky to locate initially.

“I had a really good stay for six nights and would recommend this hotel. The staff were respectful, the room was compact, and everything was perfect. I especially enjoyed the nice restaurant. The location was magnificent – easy access to a funeral chapel, and a walk from the cathedral and a chapel was a bonus.”
