No Barb, you don't need a converter. Seems like we've used basically every electrical appliance known to man there - with the exception of an electric ice cream maker <lol>

Okay, so I'm slightly off the wall today. but it's Friday.

The room that we stayed in had both. The only american plug was the one that had the fridge and coffee maker plugged into. The rest were european. I was lucky the plug i needed was next to the bathroom so I could use my curling iron and my husband could also charge his laptop which was a lifesaver for my son on the plane.

I've never needed a converter. Maybe the person writing the review was from Europe? They may need them to plug in their devices.

The location of plugs cn be a problem. Some aren't located in the best places. In addition to the fridge plug we had one behind our dresser.

That's why we always stick an extension cord in our suitcase when we travel.
