Guest reviews for The Strand Palace Hotel
The hotel reception, on site gym, coffee shop and gin parlour were modern, aesthetically pleasing and a good nice to have.
However the internal facilities, i.e. corridors and the rooms itself are a century old. Rooms are very old fashioned. There is no AC. Dark carpets, small bathrooms. The rooms are in dire need of an update. Considering the price of the rooms, this isnt quite what i was expecting. Additionally, oil heater was provided for heating. But if you used the hairdryer while the heater was on, the electrics would cut out! I had to call maintenance 3 times before it was sorted which annoyingly got me late to a meeting. TVs are small. Toiletries in bathroom are white company so great but they dont refresh everyday. A good location though close to covent garden etc.

Was put into a dated room with no windows due to scaffolding. The temperature inside did not go under 25 degrees C (I checked). Made a comfortable night of sleep impossible. My request to switch rooms was denied.

Dear Guest I am sorry to read you were disappointed with the view from the room during this stay. We are currently in the process of a long-term strategic improvement plan for our Hotel and we are paying a great deal of attention to enhancing the existing rooms, aesthetically, technologically and physically. As part of this project we do have contractors working on the outside of the Hotel; due to this, we have restricted the view for some of our guests to ensure complete privacy. We are doing everything possible to keep disruption to a minimal with works being completed outside of our busiest hours, however I understand this does impact on the view whilst these rooms are in use. I am sorry we were unable to offer you any alternative rooms but this was due to availability. Kind Regards Patrick Baptist Hotel Manager
Great location for central London. Food was nice.
Terrible Pillows.

Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing the Strand Palace Hotel. I do apologise that you were not completely satisfied with your stay. I do hope you were able to mention this to a member of the management team. Kind Regards, Holly
Great central hotel
Pros:
Location
Cons:
Prices
Location:
Too many to mention. Very close to Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Embankment and of course...theatres!!!!!
We have stayed here 5 or 6 times. Nice to receive a Strand Palace VIP card with bottle of red wine. Card have us 10% off restaurants and bars. However, we had breakfast which cost £37!!!!! No discount allowed at breakfast. Disappointed.
Booked a cosy room as prices have shot up over last year or so, making the stay expensive - still £640 for three nights.
Staff lovely, house keeping brilliant, thanks to Strand Palace.

Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing the Strand Palace Hotel. Kind Regards, Holly
Unfriendly and going thru motions
Pros:
It’s location
Cons:
I doubt, my constructive criticism would be of any value, so I will pass on this one
Location:
Boots nearby, walking distance to most of the attractions and plenty of dining options around.
It was brisk and professional, but guest relations a disaster. There was no attempt to accommodate snow stuck guests. I tried to extend my stay, but was rudely advised to check online, if i was looking for the same rates, as i had pre paid for my three nights and at the departure no thank you or good bye or the basic courtesy.
I stayed here before, but will not ever stay here.

Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing the Strand Palace Hotel. I do apologise that you were dissatisfied with the service received. All bookings that are booked with a third party company cannot be extended by staff at the Hotel, this would need to be done as a new booking. It is for this reason that we advise guests to check online with the agent that they booked with as they may offer a better rate. Kind Regards, Holly
Great Location
Pros:
Very helpful staff. Great breakfast buffet.
Cons:
nothing
Location:
The theatres, London Eye, Covent Garden etc. are so easy to get to all within walking distance.
Great location to the theatres, London Eye, Covent Garden etc. just so easy to get around, all within walking distance.

Dear Eveline, It is great to see that under Cons you have written 'nothing'!. I am delighted that everything was up to your satisfaction. Kind Regards, Holly
Ideal location close to Covent Garden
Pros:
The staff were extremely friendly
Cons:
The bedrooms were only small but it’s what we expected for London
Location:
The location was ideal as had theatres tickets for the Savoy opposite the hotel.
We arrived early & intended to just drop off our luggage at the hotel, so was delighted when all our rooms were available. At check in I was advised that a couple of the available rooms had scaffolding outside so if I wanted to wait to check in later they could allocate other rooms without the scaffolding. The scaffolding did make the rooms dark, however we were only staying the one night and the extra fee hours we had in london as a result of the early check in made it worthwhile .
