"Strand palace hotel"

The location of the hotel was great. Short distance to Covent Garden and lots of other attractions, Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square all in walking distance. The hotel had lots of friendly helpful staff who were very accommodating but the restaurant was very busy at breakfast time with queues for breakfast and the bedroom was a little on the small side with only one chair but other than that the facilities were good.

"Room a little smaller than expected "

Our room was a little smaller than it looked on photos but it was quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. Only one armchair in room tho and one of us had to sit on the bed . Hotel itself in prime position for all attractions/ theatres etc . The staff kind, helpful , efficient and curteous . Breakfasts exceptional. Thank you for a lovely stay . Will recommend quite a stunning hotel

"Lovely staff but missing some little touches."

This is a really well located hotel for a theatre back as it just minutes tea from the Vaudeville and Adelphi theatres. I took my husband for his birthday and after emailing the hotel to mention this, they kindly left him a card, balloon and treats in the room, which was very kind. The check in lady, Carmen, was also very nice. However, there were no standard toiletries in our room such as shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, lotion or shower cap and as I`m no good at communicating in person I didn`t want to ask for any. The room was a bit too hot and small for a double room, even if it was billed as cosy. Although, kind of expected in the middle of London.

I`ve stayed at the Strand Palace a few times now . It`s a clean and well kept hotel,the buffet breakfast is excellent, with plenty of choices. The rooms have a quality feel about them and again,are clean.The hotel is set in a great location with numerous excellent pubs within a few minutes walk,Covent Garden is a 5 minute walk and the Embankment the same. I can highly recommend the Strand Palace.

"Fantastic hotel well appointed "

Hotel was impressive from arrival to departure, staff were all professional with a friendly helpful attitude, all immaculately dressed, special mention needs to go to the barmen in the Gin Palace who were over and above welcoming and knowledgeable. Whole hotel was spotless in every aspect. Would highly recommend

"Well position hotel for the theatre. "

We stayed in one of their cosy rooms, which was definitely cosy. Very clean and comfortable temperature. Only down side was the tv didn`t work, it kept loosing its signal and the screen was all pixelated. We watched tv on my phone! The toilet was a tight squeeze in an alcove in the bathroom so if you were on the big side, I doubt you`d be ale to use it.

"Amazing stay from start to finish"

Would definitely use hotel direct again, very straight forward booking process, helpful and good value for money.I booked this for my wife`s 40th Birthday, our arrival at The strand palace was outstanding,the staff were helpful, welcoming and the hotel was clean in all areas including the rooms. The options in the areas downstairs to relax with a drink were also good. Breakfast was lovely and being served at the buffet was nice and made the process quicker. Very organised. Joe Brown`s bar in the hotel was an additional treat, such a lovely atmosphere for a meal or just a drink. Staff in there were really lovely.

"Good hotel "

I enjoyed my stay at the Strand Palace, I was in a single "cosy" room. Cosy meaning very small! I think it had been recently refurbished, everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a quality feel to it,there was no door to the bathroom but I don`t suppose it really matters in a single room.The rest of the hotel looked really nice and well looked after. I`ve booked to stay again.

"Great value for money"

Beautiful hotel set in the heart of London. Very modern, staff were really great and happy to help. Couldn`t do enough for you. Food was lovely. Breakfast was great. The Only downside. Rooms were very warm. Air con wasn`t that good. And house keeping team in the morning were very noisy. And the building site at the rear of the hotel was very noisy too. But highly recommend this hotel. I`d definitely stay here again

Be aware if booking this hotel, that although the details say check in at 2, and check out at 12, the actual hours are check in at 3 and check out at 11. As I had printed off my confirmation email stating 12, I was granted a complimentary late check out.

"Small but perfectly formed!"

The hotel is in the best location possible. The staff were friendly and the facilities were wonderful. The smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in, a bit like a broom cupboard size, but saying that, it was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. It was quite the adventure and made us giggle like a couple of teens!

"Perfect location for central London sights"

The Strand Palace Hotel was an excellent choice for our weekend break. Although a large hotel it did not feel impersonal and all the staff we met were helpful and friendly. Our room was on the 6th floor so we were not disturbed by any outside noise. Ideally placed within 10 -15 mins walk of Covent Garden, China Town and the major London theatres and on a bus route to further afield venues.

Enjoyed a fabulous few days break in London for our Ruby Wedding anniversary staying at the Strand Palace hotel. The staff made us very welcome and gave a complementary room upgrade to make our stay even better. The breakfast is good with an excellent choice of food. The room was clean and warm. Many thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable break.

No information about facilities available including breakfast menus and fire procedures. Restaurant offered small meals but not our liking and would not offer any other smaller meals to my wife`s liking . I was a big disappointment overall, they were not prepared to go the extra mile.
