Admittedly, the First Hotel Twentyseven is looking a little tired. Rooms are generally small, though the minimalist styling and cool furniture offer enough appeal. Pros include sleek, black-slate bathrooms, friendly staff, a central location and decent cocktails in the popular ground-floor bar. The place can get noisy, so always request a room away from the bar if you're a light sleeper.
