Lad'ys First hotel has been my favourite for at least past 6 years. Yes, it is very conveniently situated close to my company's building on Bellerive, barely 5' to walk, but there are more reasons than just this one to explain why I wouldn't go elsewhere.
No-fuss, simple, well-designed, reasonably quiet (no trafic through the street, although one can hear some faint rumbling from adjacent main street at peak times), very clean, very silent elevator, nice rooms, excellent bedding, WiFi in all rooms, private bathroom/toilet in every room, most windows equipped with roller blinds that can keep the sun out in the morning, etc...
Breakfast is a good moment in Lady's First, not especially because of a very large offer on the buffet, although there is plenty, but because you'll find here the same atmosphere of friendly and pleasant welcome with good smiles and a total absence of stress that you would get from the desk upon your arrival.
You want a detail that gives it all? Everytime I would get into my room, just coming from airport, I would find a nice card with a few words of welcome and thanks for having once again chosen the Lady's First, together with a few fruits on a plate!
And yes, by the way, despites its name, this is not a Ladies Only place.
Only drawback: a very creaking wooden floor in some rooms which means you can be awakened earlier than expected if one of these rooms is above your head...
