Michelin Guide
"Centrally located hotel in a 19C former paper factory on the harbourside. Comfortable, functional bedrooms, in light maritime colours, are furnished in polished wood."

Well-equipped bedrooms, some with balconies; choose a water over a city view.
Frommer's
"Once you're inside, you'll find the place either fascinating or terrifying -- or perhaps a combination of both -- thanks to vertigo-inducing catwalks that crisscross the soaring glass-enclosed lobby." Full review
