Strand Palace

A strong choice if staying at Covent Garden. It is walking distance to many eateries (though many overpriced, use Google Map reviews to find the reasonably priced options), many West End theatres, and also to the Westminster area (Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Parliament). I did not have breakfast, nor did I dine at their restaurants or bars so I cannot comment. I did not use their facilities as well, as I was out and about the entire day, so again I cannot comment. Service staff were friendly, from the porters handling left luggage, to the receptionist checking us in. Only one small note - the bedsheets had some black stains which did not come off when I rubbed it. Don't know what they were, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the room. The shower area in the bathroom of the single room is quite small, and larger sized guests may wish to take note.

The hotel has the perfect location and the service is reasonable for such a busy hotel. The structure of the building is rather strange. There is a screen outside the main lifts instructing you how to get to your room (and they even tell you to take a photo of the screen). There is always a queue outside the lifts and at breakfast time the queue is loooooooong. I’m impressed by how professional the staff was even though they were clearly under loads of pressure.

Always love staying at this hotel due to location and facilities, rooms are very nice and the bar and reception area is too
