A spacious and quiet courtyard hotel. Rooms are bordered with floral accents, with heated towel racks and down duvets. Some feature bathtubs. Breakfast comes buffet-style, and the hotel also offers free walking tours. If you like your space it's good value, though the neighborhood remains up-and-coming.
