10/10 Excellent
"The property was very clean and the room was perfect except……as with so much of Europe, there was no air conditioning as we know it in the United States. The days were 85 degrees and nights very warm. There was a fan that we borrowed that helped. The website states there is some kind of ventilation system but the man at the desk indicated it got the room temperature to 2 degrees cooler than the outside temp. Not a problem with the hotel though since all mud-level hotels seem to be the same in terms of lack of real air conditioning."
