Scene
Affordable tourist hotel with old-fashioned interiors
The mid-range Hotel Eduardo VII has seemingly been preserved from the 1950s when it was built. Wooden paneling, vinyl seating, and a recessed circular ceiling light in the lobby contribute to a certain retro charm, which is augmented by funky decorations, including greyhound dog sculptures and vases. The 12-story building sits on a corner with a small black hotel sign that can easily be missed. Hallways have red carpeting and gold trimmed doors and there are elevators, but they are small and old. Most guests are budget-minded couples and families.
