- No pets allowed — The pension does not accommodate pets, so plan accordingly if travelling with an animal.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to arrange ahead.
- Public parking nearby, not private — Parking is available but not on-site or dedicated; finding a spot may take time, as one guest noted.
