Stylish Stay Near Gloucester Road

appealing decor large bed clean pool area
I found the room decor very appealing. The bed was very large. The shower worked great. The pool area and changing room were very clean.
My room was close to the elevator. I was woken up at night by guests. They talked while coming and going. The perfume used in common areas was strong.
