Fantastic location with easy access to most attractions. The complimentary breakfast included with our reservation was very good with a lot of variety. The only negative is the coffee-it was very bland.

This is the second time I have stayed at The Strand Palace Hotel. I am a lone traveller and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.
The room is very clean and the facilities in the room have been well thought out. The choices at breakfast are excellent. I will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend.

Friendly staff at reception and choice of room when booking in. All clean and tidy, with not much noise at night. Great location and was very pleased with this hotel as never stayed here before, but certainly will again as easy access to the theatres and opera.
