Situated at one of the city’s former gates and just across the road from one of the few remaining sections of the old city wall, this reasonable budget option with plenty of exposed brickwork for that old world feeling offers both standard rooms and something a little bit more special. All rooms are en suite, plus there’s free wireless internet throughout and at the time of writing an in-house Belgian restaurant. A splendid location right on the edge of Old Town and within easy walking distance of the bus and train stations.

17 rooms (5 singles from €35, 11 doubles from €43, 1 suite €84).
