A classy classic residence with almost everything going for it: tastefully decorated high quality rooms; very good breakfast including homemade croissants and omlettes; affable staff; exceptional cleanliness, and central pavement-side location. The latter does mean that it's sometimes not the quietest, but in our view this is more than made up for in sheer ease of exploration both night and day (plus the rooms are somewhat soundproofed). Tough one to beat for a short city break.
