The location near the tube station was ideal. I also appreciated the tastefully decorated room. The bed was very comfortable.
The pool area had dirty sun loungers. I noticed empty water bottles near the pool too. Several lockers were not working.

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.
I was woken up at night by guests. They talked while coming and going. The perfume used in common areas was strong.
