I was booked here by my PA because my usual London hotel was full. I supposedly had an "executive room" so who knows how bad the others are!?! The room was basic, shabby and actually quite depressing. By contrast the bathroom was lovely, had clearly been refurbished recently and could not be faulted. The free "superfast" wifi was like being... More

I stayed for one night on a business trip to London and I can honestly say this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The room I was given was on the 8th floor it was nothing more than a box, there was no air con, the bed and pillows were uncomfortable, the breakfast horrible and the price... More

I stayed for two nights in May here and was pleased with everything. The room was small but very comfortable. The breakfast served had an excellent variety and was very good. All the staff I dealt with were pleasant and courteous. People need to remember that this hotel offers great value in a very expensive city and if you are... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed here at the end of April to see the sights of London as well as a trip to the Harry Potter Studios. I was slightly wary about this hotel as I had read about the exterior building work that was taking place. However, there was nothing to worry about. Didn't hear any work take place... More

However, it is in the middle of a major facelift and, like... More

Strand Palace Hotel is only about the location and price. It takes time to check in and check out. The reception is small, while there are plenty of rooms. More

This hotel in my opinion survives on its fantastic location. This is my second visit in one week and my opinion is going from ok to overpriced tourist trap. Lets get one thing out of the way first neither of my rooms had aircon and I suspect no rooms have it. It is a cold evening in London and yet... More

I stayed in this hotel with a friend for a weekend, the hotel is in a fantastic location with easy walking distance to charing cross undergroud, covent garden and the threatre (I went to see the Lion King which is literally at the end of the road). The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and very attentive staff. Having... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in May 2012 on business. It's old, the bathtub takes 20 minutes to drain (making showers difficult), the bed is ultra-firm, and the staff is too busy to notice the guests.
