Karnvela

Five uncluttered, open-brick-walled boutique-ified rooms in whites and charcoal-blue fill this bright, stylish, laid-back guesthouse in the heart of town. Four have arched balconies set into the Sino-Portuguese facade, while the last overlooks the ground-floor cafe and shop below through an indoor window. Expect hairdryers, printed cushions, tea/coffee kits and subway-tiled bathrooms.
