Pension Izar Bat Guesthouse offers a mix of experiences when it comes to its room accommodations. Guests frequently commend the cleanliness of the rooms, which stands out as a positive aspect. Many reviews highlight the spacious and comfortable nature of some rooms, noting the guesthouse's unbeatable central location as an added benefit. However, the guesthouse's proximity to urban hustle comes with some drawbacks, such as street noise, which might be expected given the location.

The room sizes vary, with some guests finding them acceptable for the price, while others describe them as very small, posing a challenge, especially for travelers with substantial luggage. Guests often mention high beds and less comfortable pillows as areas for potential improvement. The rooms generally lack windows to the outside, often providing views of an interior courtyard or lightwell, which contributes to a lack of natural light and ventilation.

Bathrooms within the guesthouse receive feedback as being particularly small, making maneuverability difficult. Some visitors express concerns about temperature regulation, with issues such as a cold shower and absence of heating or additional bedding like blankets.

There are several mentions of the beds being described as "super comfortable," which suggests a satisfying experience for some.

However, it's important to point out that the height of the beds is repeatedly mentioned as excessively high, with some guests finding it challenging to get in and out of them. Complaints about hard mattresses and uncomfortable pillows are frequent, with some feeling like they're lying on concrete or on beds more akin to spring cots. These aspects have caused discomfort for guests, especially those with back issues or those who find such firmness to interfere with a proper night's rest.

Overall, while some guests find the beds adequately comfortable, others raise significant concerns over their height and hardness, suggesting a variability in guest satisfaction regarding sleeping arrangements at Pension Izar Bat Guesthouse.
