Who doesn't love the perks and delights of a boutique hotel? Nine Boxes gets the both of best worlds – it's an apartment with a private kitchen and small terrace, but it sits within a hotel so guests will be privy to all the services that come with it. You'll have access to a free shuttle service (within a mile radius), fresh coffee and tea and swanky communal areas to lounge around in. This isn't a homestay if that's what you're after, but it's a great option for anyone who likes the luxuries of a proper hotel.
