The hotel is ideally located for London sites and Covent garden/theaters. The restaurant does a great ore show dinner package and is a nice hidden gem ( you can't see the restaurant from the road). The hotel rooms can be a bit on the small side, the single rooms resemble a submarine, long and narrow. The cost of being in... More

Second time I stayed at the Strand Palace. The location is great -- you can't get more central. The rooms are small but still good value. The breakfast spread is quite good, as is the afternoon tea. The staff is quite impersonal, but efficient. I had to extend my stay at very short notice, and they were very helpful, considering... More

Spent 2 nights here in late April and having been a little apprehensive due to some of the negative reviews, ended up very pleasantly surprised. Staff were polite, efficient, knowledgeable and non-pushy, everything flowed smoothly from check in to check out and we received the free wifi code without and were able to log on with no problems.

First time I stayed at Strand Palace. It was recommended to me by friends who have stayed here several times. We stayed here for two nights at a pretty large room (256) with a King sized bed. And we were very satisfied. The room was newly painted and seemed very updated. The location was perfect, very central close to everything.... More

Maybe it's just London ... or maybe I have unreal expectations. Anyway, I stayed for one night last week and paid - for a single bed in a single room - stg£157.00 including breakfast. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat breakfast because the dining room was too small for those that wanted to avail of it, and after standing in... More

This 3 Star hotel is situated just a short 5 minute walk from Covent Garden and sits opposite the Savoy Hotel. The location was perfect for us, after our trip to the theatre that evening. We arrived at the hotel at about 10:30pm. The foyer was busy so I was not surprised when there was a small queue at check-in,... More

Very good value for such a central location. It's a large hotel so lacks the personal touch but is in a superb location. The room we had was quite small but comfortable. Didn't eat in the hotel because there are so many restaurants nearby.
