The MonarC is a classic-looking yellow building on a busy crossing in the centre, overlooking the Lana river. With only 12 rooms, ample attention has been lavished on details, and the interiors are characterised by sleek dark design. The deluxe rooms come with particularly classy jacuzzis. Reductions at weekends. Head to the top floor for the bar with a waterfall and great 360° city views.

12 rooms (singles €80, doubles €100-130).
