The hotel's Web site promises a "cosy, cosy, very cosy" spot, and indeed it is. Opened in 1958, the Noga is packed with mementos of the Jazz Age, from table lamps to black-and-white photographs of the period. There are rooms on four floors for two, three, or four people—larger rooms have sofas—and all have bathrooms with shower only. You can rent a bike, borrow a book from the library, or even order a picnic lunch to take sightseeing with you. The hotel is in the popular Béguinage quarter, near the Ste-Catherine fish market. Pros: great location, inexpensive rates. Cons: hotel could use some updating.
