Top London Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We booked the cheapest double but paid £30 to upgrade on check in. The hotel is huge and it was much more grand than I was expecting. The room was still the smallest I think I’ve ever stayed in even though it was an upgrade. Small and functional with a nice en suite and good toiletries (large dispensers). The room didn’t have a view but the bed was comfortable and the Nespresso machine was nice. We didn’t have breakfast and I’m glad because the queue was huge as we left around 9.30. The cocktail bar was nice although the staff seemed to be lacking in customer service. Overall a good stay and a hotel we will return to in the future. "
