Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms, some without private bathrooms — The economy double and single rooms don't list a private bathroom, only heating. Guests who need an en-suite should book one of the private bathroom options.
  • Limited natural light in some rooms — A couple of reviews mention windows that look into a small courtyard or a shaft of about 1m², which may let in limited light.
  • No on-site parking — The property doesn't offer parking, which could be a consideration for guests arriving by car. Public transport is a better option given the central location.
  • Small-scale, no extra facilities — Pension Dani is a simple guest house without amenities like a restaurant, gym, or lounge. It's suited to travellers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring.
