We stayed at this hotel and went to see The Lion King just a few hundred yards down the road on the left as you leave the front entrance of the hotel. Staff were very friendly, very welcoming. Room was spotless and although it did not have a view, that would not put us off having exactly the same room... More

Very small room - double bed next to wall so one person next to wall had to climb over other person to get out of bed. Very clean. Poor wardrobe - only 5 hangers for a 3 day stay Good breakfast Indian restaurant superb

Have just returned from a short break and am pleased that good standards are still evident. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff polite and helpful and the food excellent. The chef serving evening meals was a particular star.

We do normally prefer staying in smaller, more personal hotels, but we really did enjoy the good service and especially the great location of Strand Palace Hotel and can recommend it to anyone that likes Covent Garden as their starting point.

I usually stay near Kings Cross but everywhere was fully booked or more expensive than usual so i expanded my search distance. The Strand Palace came up with various club single options so i chose breakfast included and free cancellation for £117. I was a bit worried that calling it a club room meant it was very small and cramped,... More

We visited this hotel already many times in the past 25 years but it 's not getting any better! The rooms are small, bathrooms below standard and nearly impossible to get fresh air in. During our last stay (may 2013) we were offered a room where it was impossible to see the tv screen from the bed, we had to... More

I stayed at this hotel a number of years ago and did not like it, it wasn't clean and the rooms were cramped and with old décor so I was surprised how much it had changed. The rooms were extremely clean and modern looking and comfortable bed. The service from the staff was also excellent and they couldn't do enough... More

Stayed here for the sixth time. One of the best locations in London. Rooms small as is typical of London but modern and clean. Food is excellent. The addition of an Indian restaurant was a good idea with a good meal at reasonable prices. In the heart of the West End, you can walk to many of the main tourist... More

Room was small, but nice and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Had good service, especially in the Mask Bar. The breakfast was well worth paying extra for. It is not a luxurious hotel but very reasonable in comparison to other hotels in London and a good 3*. The best bit is its location, right next to Covent Garden... More

The hotel is in a wonderful location, with easy tube access and walking distance to all west end shows as well as other major attractions. My husband and I stayed for two nights after a long journey from Australia. As the outside of the building is currently being renovated there is ALOT of building noise during the day and therefore...
