"Convenient location for Theatreland"

Guest areas/facilities on Ground Floor look like a 4* Hotel but room did not match. It was small but clean and functional. Scaffolding immediately outside window and work began at 8:30 am.

"Great location"

Hotel was great in terms of the room and service. The Indian restaurant was quite frankly overpriced and really only 7/10. Mainly due to the undercooked chicken in the curry, but maybe a one off situation. Hotel opposite the Savoy, wow..

"Another good stay"

We have stayed at the Strand Palace on many occasions over the past 30 or so years and have always found it to be good, plus its position in London I think it ideal especially so close to Covent Garden and theatre land.

"Tired Looking Bedrooms"

The main areas of the hotel were very pleasant, however the stairways and halls to the bedrooms could certainly do with a make over.

"Good value for central London, ideal location. Lovely breakfasts."

Very disappointed not to have a bath, never expected for a minute that there would only be a shower in this quality of hotel. Especially as this was an upgrade to a king size. (And my parents had a bath in a much smaller room!)I arranged a complimentary bottle and strawberries as my daughter and her bridesmaids were getting ready for the wedding - guest relations were very good to offer this, but the goodies didn`t arrive as planned and I had to chase it up as time was ticking by. Lovely when they came tho!

"A bit pricey for yiu get."

The room was small and the bathroom tiny. The toilet was squashed into a small space and the floor tile grout was dirty. There was one small cheap metal hook held on with one screw even though it should of had two and the bath had chips in it. The double bed was comfortable but as the room was small you could only get on it from one side. The room was too hot even though there was a desk fan provided. For £200 a night I expected much better. All staff were friendly and very polite.

"Christmas Break"

Have just spent 4 days at the Strand Palace Hotel with my husband for a Christmas Break, we have stayed here before so do know how Central to most of the London Sights it is. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we had full English Breakfast each morning which was excellent, plates could have been warmer my only complaint, also had 2 Carvery Grills which were beautiful good value for money. We could not fault the room it was very clean and comfortable. hope to stay again soon.

"Lovely hotel but small rooms"

Had a lovely 2 night stay here October 24-26. Breakfast was amazing. Had the 2 course Sunday carvery which was delicious & would highly recommend. The only thing that let it down was the small basic room which we didnt pay a small basic price for. Very much a travelodge room but smaller in a nice hotel. Had a standard double room & they do a cosy room which must be tiny!

"The Strand Palace"

The hotel was beautiful and our room was very comfortable, the bar staff remembered our drinks orders and receptio staff very welcoming however the services falls down a bit during breakfast. we were shown to our table then the waitress left, we didn`t know what we should be doing having never been there before. we asked 3 waitresses for cream for the coffee before we got any, there is croissants one side of the room but the butter is the other side. generally not the breakfast service i am used to in a 4+* hotel. shame as the rest of the stay was perfect.

Queued for breakfast on both mornings and on both occasions we were shown to an overflow room away from the main dining room. The room was noisy. The food was fine they just seem to have more guests than tables to sit them at.

Comfortable bed but having no air conditioning is poor. London is generally warm and opening the windows doesn`t really solve it and adds to the noise.
