The main drawcard of this smart, red-brick townhouse, sandwiched between a bike-rental outlet and bike museum, is its superb location across a busy street from the waterfront. Contrary to the cosy reception, its 34 rooms are surprisingly plain and dated, with dark furniture and red carpet. Count an extra €10 per person for breakfast.
