Despite dashes of crimson and cushioned bed-boards, rooms at midrange Pi Hotel feel a little formulaic. But if you just want centrality and a good night's sleep, the comfortable beds and blackout curtains make this an appealing place to stay – and you'll be welcomed by beaming staff and inspirational catchphrases daubed on the walls.
A weekly flea market creates enjoyable chaos near the hotel each Sunday morning. Take advantage of the underground car park (rather than parking streetside), or you might find your vehicle blocked in.
