Fodor's Expert Review Room Mate Alicia

Room Mate Alicia's all-white lobby with curving walls, backlit ceiling panels, and gilded columns oozes early 2000s, but its prime location and competitive rates make up for the passé aesthetics. Carpeted rooms are modern if compact; the black-slate bathrooms, most of them shower-only, are separated only by a glass door. For a few more euros, upgrade to an executive room with a terrace or to a mini-suite with large windows overlooking the action on the plaza.
