The place has lovely ambience, especially if you ate a long stayer. Thebstagg are courteous and the food is just amazingly innovative and tasty. Housekeeping obliged my request to not be disturbed while ensuring my supply of perishables. While the gym is small, it is adequate if you knoq what you are doing. It could do worj bettwr cleaning though as the mats are often dirty and equipment not wiped down. Will certainly continue staying with them and highly recommend.

Unfortunately my stay was quite unpleasant. I left to get some food after checking in but when I got back I saw used condoms on the floor next .. I am assuming these were from a previous guest but room was just not cleaned enough. I requested a change of room or at least bedding at the time but no one came to my room to even try rectify the issue …it just made me feel so uncomfortable, disgusted and totally unpleasant . The shower was leaking , there were cockroaches in the bathroom … the standards were really low for that price .
