"This recently refurbished hotel is a low-key, friendly establishment whose modern, understated rooms, commitment to local artists, and elegant cocktail bar and restaurant have made it popular with both visitors and locals. There’s no reception as such, and no elevator either. Instead, a dramatic spiral wooden staircase leads directly up to the rooms, which are decorated in smart, modern style, with colorful touches such as lime-green armchairs matched to wood paneling and natural, earthy tones."
