Excursus: What makes a hotel quirky?

Brief explanation for my (one) faithful fan, who asked me what made the Hotel Concordia "quirky?"

The hotel is really lovely. It's a refurbished "palace," with huge rooms. The rooms are nicely fitted out: comfortable beds, great toiletries, complimentary robes, access to pool and sauna, etc. It's most black and white, including some odd but interesting zebra fabric, and little red touches. So let me be clear: I really liked this hotel. But it also has some "quirky" touches, including the life-sized picture of a woman holding a duster, placed exactly so that she appears to be watching whatever is going on in bed:

  1. I would like to say few words about Hotel Concordia. I have a great trip of Rome last year and I stayed at Hotel Concordia. The location of the hotel was Ideal.. The hotel itself was very good with small but very clean rooms with fridge containing cold drinks. The breakfast was ok. Overall, I will call it one of the best Rome Hotels and will consider staying in future!
