In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are modest — Expect simple, functional furnishings rather than luxury touches. The shared-bathroom setup is basic but well-maintained.
- Value rated lower than other aspects — While the location and cleanliness earn high marks, the Value category scores 7.4, the lowest of the rated categories.
- No pets allowed — The pension does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
