In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic facilities — At one star, the pension keeps things simple – no restaurant, gym, or common areas beyond the lobby. The facilities rating is the lowest category.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in only runs from 15:00 to 22:00, which may not suit late arrivals or early flights.
  • No pets and no smoking — The pension does not allow pets, and smoking is prohibited on the entire property – something to note if you travel with an animal or smoke.
  • Price point for the class — Rates from £148 per night are high for a one-star guesthouse, reflecting the prime location more than the facilities.
