In a city that can get rather expensive, the Fairview is always a good bet for comfort, a nice swimming pool to relax around– and a bit of peace and quiet!

Something to think about

The rooms are quite simple – think hard floors and quite utilitarian décor – but absolutely fine for a stopover stay.
