With its eye-catching cream-and-red brick facade and twinset of jazzy orange parasols on the Grote Markt, this long-standing hotel remains thoroughly up to the minute. Its buoyant ground-floor bistro with a creative mix-and-match menu doubles as reception, and its triple and quad rooms make it a solid family bet. Count €9.50 for breakfast.

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.
