"Great location to enjoy London from. Nice views over the river - even from the restaurant if your room isn’t a river view."

"Breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend this hotel. "

"Well - here's the good, the bad and the ugly. We first arrived jet lagged as all get out and were greeted nicely by the front staff. Check in was easy. We paid extra for a tower view hotel and upon entering our room, the view was magnificent. That was quickly shrouded but the stifling heat in the room! It was stagnant and so very warm. I searched around the room for a thermostat and located it but it wouldn't turn on. I called down to the front desk and was informed that they do NOT have air con - why have a thermostat? At this point we started to look around and saw various signs that the hotel needs some upgrades. On the bathroom, what was a towel heater rack no longer worked. The front of the bathtub had a painted wood panel over it and was chipping away leaving large areas of open wood with splinters. The tile was pitted and needed extra love. Lastly, the big one: we had do not disturb lit the entire time we were there as we prefer no service an no one in rooms while we are out sightseeing. On day two, we arrived back to our room and noticed the bed had been made and freshened up. However, the bathroom look like it had been left in a hurry. The trashing was in the middle of the of the room. The floor mat and used towels that were hanging in the bathroom were removed but no new ones were left. I complained to the front desk @ which promised to respond and I haven't heard back regarding why they entered without notice."

"Great and friendly service"

"Excellent property, location and service. Highly recommend"

"Staff and property excellent but totally disappointed with the breakfast and coffee /light snack shop available. Breakfast on offer was hot food or continental. The hot food available was stone cold, cold plates with cold food. If you decided to have toast, good luck there as the bread had to go through a conveyor toaster 3 times before it registered any colour as ‘toasted’. Then once through one had to search the restaurant for the butter. Milk not by the hot drinks machine tracking again to search its location. Very disappointing!"

"Absolutely wonderful stay in London made even better by the staff of The Strand Palace. From our very dapper doorman Anthony at arrival and early check in with Saloni to the kindness of Mohammed our porter at departure, the hotel did not disappoint. The rooms were clean and well stocked. The food and service at Haxell’s breakfast buffet and dinner were excellent. The hotel is convenient and central to London and made it easy to get around the city. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back. "

"Bed super comfortable, room really lovely. Reception staff really helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately breakfast let it down! Cooked breakfast not great at all despite it costing £21!!!! Rude member of staff with blonde hair, I had my breakfast plated but the hash browns were empty, I asked member of staff if she could replenish, she could see I had my hot items on my plate however she did not inform kitchen staff for around 5 minutes, hash browns were eventually put on the hot plate around 15 minutes later, I had already eaten my breakfast. I went to get a hash brown, it was so dry I couldn’t eat it!"

"Lovely hotel, great location. Only negative, no tea making facilities in the room."
