The hotel hasn't been renovated or updated since 1971. I laid an empty beer can on its side and it rolled to the bed, over carpet. The shower water pressure is low. Regulating the shower water temperature was another adventure of its own. No air conditioning, so be prepared to be serenaded by the sounds of the street. One person lift. Sparse breakfast, by far the lowest quality of the 4 European cities on this tour.
