the staff stored our luggage before check in and after check out while we walked around town.
the room wasn't clean i saw lots of hair on the floor and the tea cups looked used. the blinds aren't effective for privacy or blackout in the room. there was loud music being played until late and i was kept awake.

The Brambley toiletries in my room were great. I had a room with a lovely view of the greenery in Portland Square (I really appreciated it!). The full English breakfast used quality local ingredients and tasted AMAZING.
The room was quite small for the price I paid. I found some orange mold in the bathroom. Some snacks in the room came at an extra cost (it wasn't clear).
