"There’s much that’ll make you smile about this wonderful schoolthemed hotel, from the chairs plastered to the facade to the library-like reception and the breakfast room furnished like a classroom."
"Desks, a pommel horse, geography maps: everything here evokes the schools of yesteryear, and all in a designer style."
"The ultrastark white-on-white minimalism of this hotel's guestrooms is quite startling (which is to say, not everyone will appreciate it)." Full review

"Le Boulevardier is a bargain 11-room hotel with snug, spotless rooms. It's up a steep spiral staircase above a cool little bistro and jazz club of the same name, which doubles as reception." Full review
"A rare central budget find, the rooms here are generally fairly spartan...but they’re clean and bright."
i
Note, though, that the stairs are steep and there’s no lift.
