The Strand Palace - London

Die Heizungs- und Heißwasserleitungen verlaufen direkt unter den Zimmern und sind schlecht isoliert. Dadurch sind die Zimmer sehr heiß und trocken. Selbst bei geöffneten Fenster ist die Hitze nicht aus den Räumen zu bekommen und man trocknet völlig aus. Aircondition gibt es nur in der Empfangshalle. Die Übernachtungspreise sind zwar günstig für London, aber der miserable Zustand der Zimmer (Luftproblem, dünne Billigmatratzen, dünne Türen und Wände) macht das Hotel nicht empfehlenswert. Hinzukommt, dass Sie für jeden Service (z. B. Kofferaufbewahrung) extra zur Kasse gebeten werden: Sie zahlen für jede Tüte, jede Tasche...

Hilfsbereites Personal Alles sauber Perfekte Lage im Zentrum Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

The real plus of this hotel is its situation in the city. It's a nice hotel very close to Covent Garden and you can walk to many other monuments

DIE EINZELZIMMER SIND VIEL ZU KLEIN.KEINE KLIMA ANLAGE VORHANDEN.FENSTER LASSEN SICH NICHT ÖFFNEN.SEHR HOHE RAUMTEMPERATUREN.

Knapp 5 Minuten Fußweg entfernt von der zentralen U-Bahn-Station Covent Garden liegt dieses Haus sehr zentral. Das Hotel könnte zwar eine Renovierung vertragen, aber für ein paar Nächte in Londons Zentrum ist es einfach ideal. Dazu stimmen dann auch Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer im 7. Stock mit Ausblick auf die St. Pauls Cathedral und somit war der äußere Geräuschpegel recht angenehm. Das Zimmer war sauber, Bett und Kissen angenehm und das Bad in einem einwandfreien Zustand. Das Frühstücksbuffet hatte eine reichhaltige Auswahl und das Servicepersonal war sehr zuvorkommend. Da ich aufgrund eines Theaterbesuches ein Wochenende in London verbracht habe, hatte ich dieses Hotel ausgesucht, da es sehr zentral gelegen ist (U-Bahnstationen Covent Garden und Charing Cross) und sich nahe (10-minütiger Gehweg) am Leicestersquare (Theater-, Musical-, Vergnügungsviertel) befindet. Für diesen Anlass war dieses Hotel in Bezug auf den Standort eine sehr gute Wahl, sowie relativ kostengünstig für ein Hotel im Westendviertel.

Leider kann ich mein Zimmer nur als kleines dunkles Loch bezeichnen. Kein Tageslicht. Aussicht auf dunklen und schmutzigen Hinterhof. auch die Sauberkeit ließ zu wünschen übrig. da ich ein Club Zimmer gebucht hatte, möchte ich die Standardzimmer gar nicht sehen. Auch der Umstand, dass man beim Fr+ühstück länger anstehen musste, bis man einen Platz bekam, trug nicht zum Wohlbefinden bei.

Freundlicher Empfang, ab´ngenehmes Frühstücksbuffet, freundlicher Service an der Rezeption

Perfekte, zentrale Lage. Viele Lokale und Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe. Zimmer extrem klein, aber sehr sauber, nicht abgewohnt. Fensterlösung etwas schlecht. Nur 10 cm öffenbar.

Die Lage ist hervorragend für alle Innenstadtaktivitäten. Zu Fuß zu Mama Mia oder auch zum Buckingham Palast. Covent Garden direkt um die Ecke, Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und schnell, obwohl Mengen an Touristen zu betreuen waren. Zimmer sehr klein, ebenso das Bad, aber technisch in Ordnung und sauber, mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Frühstücksbuffet hervorragend.

Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen, superzentral gelegen, COVENT GARDEN ist gleich neben an, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind binnen Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar!

Wir haben uns sehr über das frisch renovierte Zimmer gefreut. Die Hotelangestellten waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Beim Frühstück waren Sie sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Frühstück war vielseitig und reichlich. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt, da man verschiedene Bahnstationen in der Nähe hat (ca. 5 Min zu Fuß).

Das Hotel wird gerade renoviert, daher nur eine 3 für den Zustand des Hotels. Mein Zimmer war ganz neu, für London recht geräumig, ausgestattet mit einem King Size Bett, einem Flachbildschirm und einem Safe. Das Badezimmer war ebenfalls ganz neu. Das Frühstücksbuffet war gut, allerdings gab es vor allem zum Ende der Woche und am Wochenende Warteschlangen vor den Frühstücksräumen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in der Nähe von Covent Garden. Vor dem Hotel halten einige Buslinien, und der Bahnhof/die Tube Station Charing Cross ist wenige Gehminuten entfernt. Ich würde das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen.

Sehr gute Lage Sehr guter Bus- und Underground-Anschluß Sehr gute möglichkeiten sich zum Frühstück außerhalb des Hotels zu verköstigen Eigentlich optimal für einen Kurztripp nach London Die Zimmer sind soweit ok, natürlich kein Zimmer, um sich dort lang aufzuhalten, zum Schlafen reicht es

Man ist gewöhnt, in Londoner Hotels Abstriche machen zu müssen. Dieses Hotel ist aber neu renoviert, die Zimmer tip top wenn auch nicht all zu groß, und klasse zentral gelegen.

Gute Preis Leistungsrelation

Hotel liegt sehr zentral. Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Zimmer sauber. Föhn fehlt in der Zimmerausstattung.

recht kleines Zimmer, ruhig und sauber. Am besten ist die super Lage am Covent Garden.

Die Zimmer sind ziemlich klein, aber tagsüber ist man ja sowieso draußen und zum schlafen reicht's aus.Das Frühstücksangebot war groß und der Service schnell und sehr nett.

The room has no air condition and therefore it was pretty warm...everytzhing else was really good.

jederzeit zu empfehlen, preislich okay

Preis-Leistung ok, super Lage, Zimmer für London ok, sauber

Super Lage aber Renovierungsstau

great location and club rooms are very good and clean

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemüht. Konnten unser Zimmer schon um kurz nach 10 Uhr beziehen. Hatten ein Twin-Zimmer - zum Innerhof, daher ausgesprochen ruhig. Zi. zwar sehr klein, jedoch funktionell und ausreichend. Wasserkocher und alles zum Tee und Kaffee bereiten vorhanden. Also Kekse einpacken und Frühstück einsparen. Supermarkt und Cafes in unmittelbarer Nähe. Preisleistung o.k. - London eben!

angenehm & ruhig; preiswert; günstig gelegen

Zimmer Richtung Höfe nehmen, Straßenseite zu laut

Thehotel is very central to Soho and Chinatown.Trafalgar Square is just at the bottom of the street.The hotel staff were very friendly and check in was not a problem.the twin room was compact but comfortable.we included breakfast with the room rate.It was burret style and very good.we will be back.

It was OK - small room - even though it was a club room.

The hotel is easy to get to and really well positioned for both business and leisure. the price was good as well. The staff were all very helpful. In the lobby the place has obviously undergone some renovation and it looked modern, clean and efficient. My single room on Floor 6 was adequate though small, had seen better days and was incredibly hot even with the window open. The bathroom needed a bit of TLC. Overall though not bad and for that price I would probably go again.

I stayed in a room that probably hasn't been revamped for over ten years and it showed. It was clean and the location suits me however even on the sixth floor overlooking The Strand the noise is very noticeable 24 hours a day - just glad I brought my earplugs

This hotel is located centrally, close to Covent Garden on the Strand with a bus stop to Victoria Station and other points across the road. The hotel is very large and busy and the decor is nothing special. The rooms have good-sized, comfortable beds for London standards. An electric kettle in the room, but no fridge. Minus points for not being able to open the window more than 3 inches / 10 cm despite a warm/stuffy room, and for the shower/bath set into a slanted roof, so that I couldn't stand up properly in the shower. Otherwise clean and breakfast was worth the extra 5 pounds paid at booking. Arrive early for breakfast (8 a.m. at the latest) or you'll have to line up for a table.

This was my fifth stay at the hotel. I go to London about twice a year to go to the theatre. The location is wonderful, as I am able to walk to virtually every theatre, and I stay off the overcrowded, problematic public transport system. However, buses and tube stations are nearby if needed. Close to Trafalgar Square, Westminister, etc. Upgraded to a club single, and saw no different between the club and standard room, besides a more contemporary colour scheme and painting. The breakfast was more than adequate, and I never had to wait in line. Numerous restaurants are in the area. After one episode of food poisoning from eating fish during a dinner at Strand Palace (Johnstons Brasserie)and management refusing to remove the charge from the bill, I will not eat anything there besides breakfast. The pass to the Virgin Active gym is nice. Just across the street, and nice pool, sauna, hot tub, etc. Staff was mostly courteous and helpful. The interior rooms are a bit quieter. Only big issue is the stupidity of having only one window in the room open about 5 inches. This is"for health and safety reasons" More government interference for no reason! The small fan provided helped. Also the safe was mounted on the top shelf of the closet with the door opening outward. The only was to access it was by standing on a chair, and feeling around inside the safe, since you couldn't look inside easily, due to the location. Cannot wait to get back to London in a few months and plan to stay again.

The best thing about the Strand Palace was the location, so close to all the theatres and Covent Garden - we were able to walk to the Queens Theatre and see a lot of the sites without using taxis. The hotel was impressive when you first walked in but we were a bit disappointed with the room - it was supposed to be a club room but it wasn't very big and was very hot being on the 8th floor (they did provide a fan but it wasn't very effective). However it was clean and in good condition and had a nice tv (although most channels you had to pay for). The breakfast the next day was great - fantastic selection. All staff were very polite and helpful. We would go back but we might be a bit more fussy about what room we have next time.

very satisfied with accomodation , location, cleanliness etc. Had to use hotel phone due to leaving my mobile in a restaurant. Rang my voice mail twice, and then got through to someone, my hotel phone bill was 27.50. Absolute robbery. !!

.This has to be our favourite hotel in Strand. Extremely clean and quality of service is excellent. We always stay here when visiting the theatres as it is walking distance and intend to stay in the near future.

this is a very nice hotel, very clean, modern and comfortable. it is so close to covent garden but far enough away so there is no noise. the breakfast was great something for everyone only prob was a couple of rube staff members a shame as the hotel is so lovely other than that

I've stayed here before and would have no hesitation in booking the hotel again. It's close to Charing Cross Tube station, it is beside trafalgar sq. and convient to theatres in the west end. Its an easy journey from heathrow and the staff couldn't be nicer. No complaints.

Booked this hotel for its location and closeness to the Lyceum Theatre which was a one min walk away. Room was clean, beds comfortable and breakfast offered a wide variety of food from cooked to cereal or pastries. Impressed because they also offered Soya milk when I asked. However, I put a three for the comfort of the room because the room was extremely hot due to the London heat and lack of air conditioning which made sleeping difficult, however, there was a fan in the room when we arrived which cooled the room down slightly. All staff very friendly, never found an ice machine which would have been nice considering the thirty degree London heat! They store your luggage for a small fee after you've cheked out if you still want to explore the city without a suitcase. Would recommend this hotel to anybody!

Cannot get a better location.Good value,cheap for such such a centrally located hotel.Very small standard rooms though,uncomfortably hot during warm spells.No air conditioning(except for a small fan!).Confusing room layout,Bus stop practically on the doorstep with frequent services.5 minutes walk to Trafalgar Square,Leicester Square.Covent Garden 2 minutes walk!Embankment/Charing Cross tube 5 minutes.

my single room in the hotel was boling hot and my window would only open a small bit. also i did not pay for breakfast but decided to have breakfast one morning at the hotel. i was informed that i would have to pay £15.00 for this privilege, way too expensive.

very comfortable rooms, small but not cramped - and everything you need. very clean and tastefully appointed. my only complaint - why didn't they put air conditioning in when they refurbished the place??? big mistake - especially in the summer. the windows only open 10 cm. if it is warm outside, the rooms get very hot. breakfast excellent, lots to choose from.

I was very happy with my stay, I arrived early and got into my room right away. I was in a single room and was very comfortable. Large bathroom with full tub was a treat. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great Location, walking distance to Theaters and SoHo.

The hotel from the out side is a beautiful place and i can only talk about the standard room which it was extremely small (6X10), no AC or refrigerator. On the plus side it's on a wonderful location. Near lots of great restaurants attractions monuments and night life pubs. I would be careful on recommending this Hotel to friends. Due to the size of the room and the price even for Central London.

Good hotel to stay at if you're out partying in Covent Garden/Leicester Square area for an evening. Hotel rooms VERY hot in summer but a fan is provided (which I didnt realise until I checked out). Staff are extremely polite and friendly which is why this was my 3rd stay. Highly recommended!

The location of this hotel is excellent and the service was very good except they charged £2 for holding our luggage on departure which I had not encountered in any hotel I have stayed in. The breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean but small. On the whole I would recommend this hotel. A Cork Visitor

I first stayed at the Strand Palace a few years ago and it had an air of decay about it. Since then it has been completely refurbished and the rooms feel brand new. But the best thing about the Strand? You couldn't get a better location - and the price is excellent.

is great for walking to all major tourist sites. staff was very helpful at getting theater tickets.
