Even when the hotel already old and a bit shabby is, compensate the benefits in any case. It offers a perfect location for a London stay: directly behind Covent Garden, next to different theaters, Somerset house and nearby the Trafalgar Square. The single room was small, but very nice equipped, included flat screen, in-room safe, the uk usual tea -possibilities the preparation and even a free bottle of water. The bed was no typical single bed, but more broadly and the bathroom was large and nice. There is no mini bar, but for ' emergencies' are vending machines available on ... every floor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. No matter wether about organisational issues or tips, it was always gladly helped. Beautiful was also, that the luggage on the day of departure windsurf board could (and safe). Had no breakfast and preferred in the morning in Covent Garden for breakfast. Altogether for London good value for money. read more

The price can be however a bit if you have a room without press view adopted, one on the situation particularly beautiful Backyard but you are not in London the whole day in the hotel room to sit and look out to the backyard.

    the room for London proportions even quite large in other words you are in the situation to the bed to go around. So it is really sufficient, it is enough room and there's even a small Sitting area with table. It is just a London hotel, and therefore small a typical German, you should always keep in mind. As far as we are concerned, it was large enough two bags a day in the room without leaving this limited to move.

  • Gastronomy

    Unfortunately we can only breakfast so what we had booked but we recommend these in any case. it really is everything your heart desires, in massive Quantities and it tastes great. there are every day fresh fruit, a good selection of muesli, Butter croissants and toast with various cold cuts and marmelade, in addition still any art and typical pastry such as bagels and apple cinnamon pastries. Then there are also English breakfast with bacon and baked beans, eggs( scrambled egg and fried egg) Sausages, potato and toast the best butter coherer (or rather fried toast) of my life. in addition still very delicious tea and for English standards drinking bars coffee. we could not deplore ourselves.

    the room the we had was every day fresh and clean when we breakfast came back. in the breakfast the people are also speedy, the plates were quickly cleared away so you just new can get and the empty plates on the table in the way around. the nice the ticket booth was Mr really nice. They are selling tickets for all kind of sights and even theaterand musical tickets they then trying reasonably priced to make. general questions we were very well advised (we were there over new years Eve and wanted a good view of the London eye and so we had a bit more to know when we were hingehe should). The people are all nice and friendly. furthermore could the breakfast also free of charge (so far in advance) to the room be ordered. In addition offers the hotel offers several specials at which one in the Internet on the homepage really quick and simply email confirmations. and, should you nevertheless at 3 o'clock in the morning you wanted to have a sandwich, it is the good old room service 24 hours a day around the clock.

    as already mentioned, great location. it only takes about 2 minutes to Covent garden and about 3 minutes walk to the next Tube stop from the piccadily line really loose and without having to change to the Heathrow airport comes. to Trafalgar is about 7-minute walk away there is also a small Co-operative foods 24 hour open the windows, which can be practical. directly at the Trafalgar is also a small Pub, if you go in the direction of Whitehall is. The silver cross we can absolutely recommend (what the eating and drinking subject). about 10 to 15 minute walk away, Leicester Square and piccadily. There you have the choice any restaurants, cinema etc.

The Strand Palace London centrally located and freshly renovated the hotel lies absolutely great in London, direct at Covent garden, from where many sights on foot rEACH can. For all, the from the airport Heathrow arrival, is great, that one direct with the tube can pass through. the hotel is in the meantime at least inside finished renovated, all rooms are newly remodeled. From the outside runs the renovation. For our stay we only noticed, that the hotel's exterior have scaffolding was. the lobby is spacious and opportunities for sitting and a tour desk equipped, at the front desk were ... enough staff around no choice waiting time to leave. after I a lot of unfriendly staff in this hotel read have, I can absolutely not confirm, neither front desk, or in relation to the room service still in relation to the staff in the breakfast. by one of four days was one of the lifts broken. On this day it went a bit slower to above, otherwise were the lifts always quick. The staircase and the halls seemed a bit frumpy, but not unclean. the rooms are with light wood equipped and have shutters, the noise and light good steams. Our room went at the back, there no choice noise from the street, only sometimes arguing Passers-by or Sunday downside: it was a bit badly soundproofed to the neighbor room. the room was small and had little space for storage space. For this, what you are on a city trip for a few days carries, handed it however absolutely. the free Wi-Fi identify, was not easy, but once found, it was mostly stable, although a little weak. In the lobby but it was not a problem. the TV was broken, a bit surprising in the freshly renovated room. there was every day two small free water bottles, toiletries were anytime again filled, towels there were enough. pillows and blanket were pleasant, so there is no choice the blankets usual in the sheets, but a related thin Quilt. good the room service was, that here very on safety respected. Thus the cart with the cleaning agents always close to the the cleaning door opened and I had to take my keys to prove, that it was my room was, when I wanted to. Generally there was everything great organized, in particular with regard to breakfast. It was anytime again cleared, newly set, only rarely caused waiting times. our room rate the breakfast included. The offer was not immoderate exciting, but it was something there for every taste. This was the typical British breakfast in offer with baked beans, fried egg, sausage. There was fresh fruit, cereal, good coffee, strong tea, different juices, rolls with cold cuts and marmelade, Croissants and sweet Particles. therefor, that hotels in London often quite shabby are, if you are not a property you want to spend, we found it here, very good. Real points of criticism we didn't and we would at any time recommend. The three stars of the hotels are totally justified, I would recommend this hotel even a trace better estimate. read more

The beach Palace is by London standards very cheap, because the most sights on foot can be achieved. Other hotels in the area were much more expensive. The English breakfast is very rich and well (therefore: short waiting time on a free space include ). read more

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

The Strand Palace is absolutely fantastic central location; a few minutes' walk from Covent Garden. Also Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, China Town ( Soho) can be reached in a matter of minutes. In the middle of theater/musical scene. Hotel room was a bit small ( Twin superior) but very clean. We had a room at the courtyard. A quiet location in the heart of London from the pulsating life. The bathroom is newly renovated. Showers a treat. The hotel staff was very nice and accomodating; the English fine way. Va. The two gentlemen at the concierge stand ( information) and ... at the luggage. Breakfast was plentiful. Buffet with the type. English dishes, but also fruit, juices, bankcard. Service, despite very many people, efficient and friendly. Tables were always cleared immediately. In summary, for me, there is to London this hotel. It is not luxury, but due to its excellent location, cleanliness and the nice staff. read more

    The location is just perfect and could not be better. It's close to everything. From Heathrow airport you even had a direct metro line to go back. From the City Airport you have to change twice - but it was possible. The London Eye is within walking distance as well as many other things. The location is also perfect for those who booked musicals or theater tickets. As the theater are tons of Quartier spread.

I had to be moved twice. The first room was in the 1 Floor toward the street, so that you couldn't sleep. In the second room we couldn't turn heating off, despite 30 degrees outside. At my complaints excepted some excuse. I had to beg for almost to get a new one. All bathrooms were black hairs that was not mine. disgusting. The flush also did not shut properly. A there's no minibar. A day from mid-afternoon until power outage at night. No light, no television. When we complained there was no apology. Like it was quite normal. All rooms ... are very small. Beds are extremely soft. read more

The hotel is on the outside, inside as well. It is already in the lobby a very well-kept impression, it has a good feel. Our room was a little on the small side, but it was clean, tidy and completely enough for you in London only in our room to sleep. We had a TV, bathroom with shower/bathtub/note: There was no hair-dryer available so bring a. What the power goes: My cell phone in the bathroom, which had the shaver point I could recharge normal, the hair dryer didn't plug for work, I told the reception bought an adapter (4 ... GBP. The price is OK, you can watch the parts was kept) breakfast I think with 15 GBP per day and person a bit overpriced, but probably couldn't judge if it was worth the money maybe because we didn't use it. The average age was mixed, as far as I could tell. read more

    I have stayed 4 times to London, but now the first time in this beach Palace, and I must say that I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The location is great - a few minutes walk from the Trafalgar Square and accordingly also not far from Piccadilly Circus. The street where the hotel is located (the beach) is also neverending restaurants, pubs, shops and in the small side streets you can also find everything we needed. Covent Garden is also around the corner.

    We had a standard double room away from the road to the farm, was absolutely quiet, there was as good as no disturbances from neighbors. The queen bed is for two people who do like, very suitable, the mattress was a little too soft for our liking. The room itself is not very big, but it is everything you would expect, LCD TV, free safe, hair dryer, complimentary coffee or tea, and phone. The bathroom was also small, with bathtub, shower curtain. There was the usual shower and shampoo/gels, good towels. Things such as toothbrushes, slippers, bathrobe, etc. However you must do without. The toilet a bit divided with the door closed and only available. overall the room made a very clean and freshly renovated impression, through the window was a bit.

    On the border between West End and City ideally located, many attractions are well within walking distance, subway connections nearby, lots of restaurants and pubs in the immediate vicinity, theater also. In the district of Covent Garden a lot of shopping possibilities, large designer lables next to local brands and junk. Covent Garden itself offers to one of the market halls your chance to browse in all kinds of kitsch, there were also performances of unknown, but absolutely hörenswerten instead of artists, on the roads jugglers, took the audience wear, all in all very lively and interesting.

Very well located for a city break many places well within walking distance. Subway stops in the immediate vicinity. The rooms are very small - good illusion the pictures on the internet! - But you're only overnight in the hotel. The only complaint is that the windows to open only 5 cm, no window in the bathroom and fan despite Reklamierens did not work. Although this is a 4 star hotel do not expect too much, however well known to be expected in London always at least 1 star--. The price is too high. read more

The location of the hotel is excellent, you could reach everything on foot, by taxi or subway. Check in was smooth, we arrived at around 10pm and being able to our room, although the hotel was fully booked. Rooms and bathrooms are relatively small, but for a 5 day stay for a couple. Windows only a small crack open, as we had good weather, it was unbearably hot in the room, day and night. read more

    We had a little better category "club room and it was for London standards, a very modern average sized room. It was on the 1 . Floor street, but there were thick wooden shutters, so you hardly any street noise in the night. If someone would be very sensitive hofseitig but certainly would be better. The bathroom was average size, enough counter space and large shower. Everything looked new and well kept. The only downside for me was the beds. We had a queen bed, so only 1.60 wide and a common ceiling and personally, I found it too hard. But many just like the: -)

    We consumed only breakfast. Due to the many rooms you sometimes had to wait and the tables were extremely close together. One morning we had to move in the neighboring brasserie. There was even a little cosier and it but didn't matter. The choice is very "English", so the bulk the warm dishes (fried eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes ... ), but there were fresh fruit salad, fruit, cereals, fresh yogurt and dough desserts. Sausage and cheese truly a sort of, but we didn't mind.

    Very competent and friendly staff, everything was very clean. A soda vending machine was located on our floor, as was the water on a night. The only bad thing is that for the luggage storage (only in the evening if you are flying 2 GBP) for each piece of luggage. In our case there were 6 GBP and it is not a 4 star hotel at these room prices definitely offered free.

    Top location! About 5 minutes walk from underground station Charing Cross or Covent Garden (which takes you directly to Heathrow). Right in front of the hotel many bus routes nearly anywhere. A 5 minute walk to the Trafalgar Square, in 15 minutes at Piccadilly Circus, numerous theaters. Also the London Eye can walk in 15 minutes. Lots of shopping and restaurants.

The location of the hotel was wonderful for London. There are many places within walking distance, and has almost directly in front of the house three different subway stations (maximum 5 minute walk). For London standards, the rooms are really very large and very clean. The breakfast was also very good. Two minor points: rooms to the street side are ( very) noisy - please for a good nights sleep definitely bring earplugs. In our room was no air conditioning, so it was a little warm. The great location that suited us just trying to overlook. You're hardly in the ... room anyway. read more
