A tomato-soup-hued Edwardian house in a side street near City Hall, the Douglas offers good rates (especially in winter) and a laid-back feel that means you don’t have to worry about creaky floorboards. Its rooms – comfortable rather than antique-lined – include smaller units with shared bathrooms, larger doubles with private bathrooms and kitchen-equipped garden suites. Off-street parking and a vegetarian cooked breakfast is included.
