Hotels near The Strand, London

The hotel's location is super convenient, which is great for families wanting to city walk London. There are also many theaters nearby if you're looking to catch a show. The breakfast at the hotel is really good; you'll notice quite a few business travelers there, mostly British folks, and not many Asian faces. We booked a room with an extra bed, and it felt a bit cramped. The worst part was the bathroom drainage – the water flowed very slowly, almost like what you'd expect from a budget hotel. However, considering the excellent value for money given its location, I'd still highly recommend it.

Arrived back at the hotel in London very late on my first night, cold and hungry. It was past midnight when I called for room service and asked the front desk if there was heating. Soon after, two staff members came up: one brought food into the room, and the other brought a heater. They even helped set the room's air conditioning to heat mode. The British are truly very polite and have a great sense of service!

The room size and facilities were pretty average. However, the surrounding area was quite nice, and it was super convenient to get to the River Thames. You can easily walk along the river to many attractions on both sides, so the location is definitely a big plus. London hotels are generally expensive, and the English breakfast was the same every day – don't expect it to be delicious, it's just enough to fill you up. I was traveling around the UK and took the train to Waterloo station; it was about a ten-minute easy, flat walk from there. **Cleanliness**: It was great that the hotel staff came to clean and tidy the room every day.

Location is amazing, right in the centre underground, food, shops all within walking distance. The capsule room itself is clean, mattress comfy, nice lighting and big mirror and sufficient hooks to hang stuff. Room is very quiet and surprisingly blocks out sound so great for a quiet good sleep even in the mornings when people are packing and moving around. Love that they have a fan in the room that is great to keep air circulating but can get a bit hot but lifting the shutter door a few inches helps. Although good hook space not great for someone with more than a backpack as there is no place to put a suitcase near you. Although check out is 10am the cleaners rush and can end up clearing and cleaning your room before you are even ready to check out yet. Check in progress is supposed to be easy but in trying to make things easier they just made more unnecessary steps. Like you can check in online but still have to check in when you arrive? There is security at the door at all times which feels safe as you have to confirm you have a room key before they let you into the building. Shared bathroom is close by to the room, showers are great plenty of hot water, sufficient space to put your stuff and hang stuff, toilets lack hooks and insufficient sink space compared to showers and toilets. No room to place essentials when using the sink and although they try cleaning the shared bathroom is lacking just due to the amount of people having to share that one bathroom. I would say at least 3 rooms have access to that one shared bathroom and each of those big rooms can fit 30+ people if full. Overall for a short overnight trip I would definitely stay again just due to comfort and location.

When booking this hotel you known it’s not going to be the Ritz so this review is fair for the type of hotel. The location is super central yet the hotel is a zen of calm. It’s a little strange having no windows anywhere but the design works to minimise the effect. Rooms are what you expect, incredibly simple but clean and decent bathroom with toiletries and fresh towels. Decent wifi means you don’t miss a TV and this is not a hotel for lounging, it’s a bed for the night which is comfy enough if a little low to the ground. The gym is an additional fee which the website doesn’t make super clear - £10 a day. Despite the positives, the bedding was bad! Blood stained sheets and bed bugs! I was biten all over during the night and awoke to dozens of red blotches all over my body. It really puts me off returning despite everything else. It is good value for money but you don’t expect bed bugs!

ROOM is not small but very tiny, stayed 3 nights for single occupancy. Had to step into toilet to close front door. from front door its one step to left toilet/bath and one step to right a queen bed. there was a weird pillar in middle of room as well. noisy dripping sound from above, all day, all night, ask to change rooms which comes with condition to check out in morning and ”try” checking in again in late afternoon/evening. i gave up and they came to change my room shower head while i was away which is totally not the noise origination.... they don't clean rooms daily. no phone in room had to go down to fetch amenities and water if u need experience wise not good for GBP250+/night. On the good side, room, towels, bedsheets are clean. if you just there for 1 night its ok but not more.

The bed was too short, I could barely stretch out, and it was quite narrow with a very low headboard, which made it a bit uncomfortable. The street outside was also very noisy. For checkout, I had to bring the bed linen down myself. The separate shower/toilet room was tiny; I've stayed in small places before, but this one was so cramped I couldn't even turn around.

The location is fantastic, within walking distance of the British Museum and the National Gallery. Chinatown, Oxford Street, and several small garden squares are all nearby. There are also plenty of Chinese restaurants in the vicinity. The room isn't huge, but it's very clean. The ground floor lobby serves as both a cafe and a lounge, perfect for afternoon tea, making everything very convenient.

The hotel was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was plentiful and high-quality. The only downside was that the room only had a very small table, which made it inconvenient to place things, so many items had to be put on the floor.

The receptionist are very friendly and warm, we checked in at 2am and they still kindly invited us into our room. The room was spacious with water, cookies and fruits, and these were refilled every day. Free buffet breakfast offered every morning, with toast, cereals, juice and even a machine for coffee. The hotel was very generous in every way. The AC was warm enough and the temperatures could be easily adjusted. It was sensitive and the room temperature was changed within minutes. We asked for bowls at night to cook our instant noodles and the hotel generously provided us with bowls and utensils. The location was not the best, but it’s within 1 hr walking distance to most of the tourist spots, but there was a bus stop very close to the hotel that which linked to most of the tourist spots. We had no difficulties in travelling around London was the most minimal transport cost. This is like the best hotel we’ve ever been in Europe. Clean rooms, adequate amenities with high quality, friendly staff, warm water, we will definitely stay in this hotel again next time when we are in London.
