The Strand Palace Hotel captivates with its excellent location. Covent garden is nearby, many West End musical theatre are within walking distance.
The club room cost only a little more than the standard rooms and are highly recommended. As almost everywhere in London the rooms are very small.
The courtyard rooms are quiet but had little natural light. The rooms facing the street are a bit noisy.
If you compare the price with other hotels in this situation, is the beach Palace Hotel and for a City Hotel perfectly OK. Read more
