Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise — The pension faces a lively street full of bars, so rooms with balconies can be noisy, especially in the evenings.
  • Compact rooms — Some guests found the rooms small, though they noted they had everything needed for a short stay.
  • Cramped reception — The reception area is small, which can feel tight when checking in or out.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or late flights.

“The location was the only good thing—right in the downtown heart, close to everything, but the room faced busy bars. Reception was cramped, but the private bathroom was surprisingly spacious and clean with seemingly endless hot water.”
