Hotel RL styles itself as a boutique choice, but it's too worn for that category. Still, it has a bouncy vibe and quirky edge, with free bike hire and gym passes, a games room and a space in the lobby where performances and lectures are staged. Rooms are large, and have a kitchenette; free coffee is available downstairs each morning.
Note that multinight minimum stays sometimes apply.
