The rooms at this secure, intimate hotel are clean, bright and well-equipped (large flat-screen TV, fridge) but wi-fi costs extra. Nothing within easy walking distance, but onsite you can eat at an excellent Indian restaurant or tapas bar, order takeaway pizza; get a haircut, withdraw money and sing karaoke.
