pensió

A pensió is a type of private lodging establishment found primarily in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. It is a small, family-run business that offers rooms for rent to travelers. Pensió accommodations are typically more affordable than hotels and often provide a more personal and local experience. These establishments are characterized by their modest size, often consisting of just a few rooms within a residential building. They usually include basic amenities such as a bed, a wardrobe, and sometimes a private or shared bathroom. Guests may also have access to common areas like a lounge or kitchen. The owners or their families often live on the premises, providing a direct point of contact and assistance. Pensió prices are generally competitive, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers seeking authentic cultural immersion. They are distinct from hostels, which typically offer dormitory-style accommodations, and from hotels, which are usually larger and offer a wider range of services.
