Pilgrimage House

Pécs


A tranquil place next to the cathedral, Pilgrimage House is just that: a quiet place to bed down when you're not looking for major creature comforts. Rooms are segregated by gender and shared, and there's a communal kitchen for guest use. It's no-frills, but super-central and cheap. Book ahead.
