Strand Palace Hotel

Strand Palace Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed at the strand just for one night ..the heat was unbearable so the air conditioning was much appreciated… the room although small was quiet and clean 153… unfortunately our stay didn’t include breakfast (although I thought it did ..)we didn’t want to look for anywhere else in the heat we payed the £40 ..although the breakfast was nice we feel it was priced to high but I guess this is what to expect in London .. double check you have breakfast in the price when you book this hotel.. I would recommend this hotel though staff were pleasant and helpful when needed .."
