I was booked in here by a business partner ahead of a meeting, although I had had this hotel on my radar for a while. I last stayed here in pre-TripAdvisor days when it was distinctly shabby and colleagues' reports did not suggest that it had changed much. 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.

Very nice area. The room which was the least expensive for two twin beds was decent for the most part. We flew all night from the US to check in very very early London time. I was greatful that the staff had a room ready before check in time. The room was adequate and included a hot pot to boil... More

I stayed for one night in the tiniest single-bedded room you can imagine. Ok, it was very modern - but the TV did not work. It cost £177 on hotel.com and was about the cheapest I could get in the area. The location is excellent - just opposite The Savoy on The Strand - about 5 minutes walk from Trafalgar... More

I have stayed at this hotel several years ago before the renovations started. A single room back then was extremely small, but inexpensive by London standard. A single bed, a desk and a chair and a mini fridge is all you would get. The location is great, and still is, even though there are many other hotels in town that... More

I've stayed in the Strand Palace Hotel on many occasions, usually on business and usually for one night. I'll try to give an objective and unbiased review... Good points: Centrally located, convenient for Covent Garden area Good prices available if you can get the discount rates - under £150 for room and breakfast (inc tax) Free bottle of water in... More
