INA Hotel Royal
The rooms are old but that was to be expected. The pillows and beds were really not good. The other issue was the radiator made constant noise a dripping sound. Then the elevator going yo and down would wake me up as the sound insulation was bad. And the cherry in the cake was I went down for breakfast ...
