"The best feature of this budget "hotel" is undoubtedly its location right on the waterfront -- it even has a private jetty (though no rooms overlook the water as such)."

Request a room close to the water and you'll have less road noise (although harbor traffic never lets up).

"Stylishly simple rooms flank a sandy courtyard littered with pot plants and votive terracotta statues. Those in the better block (rooms #1–6) have comfy king-sized beds and good showers."

Avoid the older budget block on the west side.

"At the quiet end of busy Petercelle Street, this simply furnished hotel inside a 1700s Dutch building has earned raves for its reasonable rates and good-looking rooms."
