A gorgeous, classified World Heritage building with all the paint-chipped, louvered-window, creaky-wood-floor charm that entails. The staff are superfriendly and can help with ideas and bookings. Only the lower-level rooms are en suite and have air-con, but the prettiest choices are upstairs, where you'll have to share bathrooms and cope with fan-cooled rooms.
