"This deeply romantic four-star hotel is in a sixteenth-century building set around a deliciously hidden courtyard. At this level, it’s well worth paying the 20 percent premium."

Frommer's

"This hip little hotel off the Place de la République draws a boozy crowd by offering two pricing structures - one for just the room, and another all inclusive rate that includes your bar tab."
