Unsure who will be reading this but I would like to thank the team working at the hotel and Haxell’s bar. Everyone was incredibly friendly, the service was great, and overall we had a great experience! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and would definitely consider coming again!

My friend and I stayed at the Strand Palace Hotel earlier in October and we had a fantastic time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming again! With the Covid-19 pandemic, London itself was much less busy than normal, and this hotel was no exception. That provided for a nice, calm and relaxing environment throughout the hotel. Their policies are more than reasonable and they seemed to do a good job at taking care of the place to ensure our safety.
First of all, we were given a free upgrade on our room upon checking in which was a nice surprise to us. It was a very nice gesture and was definitely not something they had to do, but they did anyway! So a massive thank you for that.
The best thing that we found with this hotel was definitely the location. We were in London for 3 days whilst staying here, and didn't need to use the tube even once. Near enough everywhere you want to go will be within a brief 15-20 minute walk, whether it be visiting the main tourist attractions (such as the London Eye or Big Ben), or if you would be more tempted with some shopping throughout Covent Garden, or the more high end shops on Bond Street. Everywhere is within a reasonable walking distance.
Next would be the in-hotel bar (Haxell's Restaurant and Bar). The atmosphere was lovely. The decoration was nice, and there was some soothing music playing in the background which I found to be the perfect volume. We were provided with free breakfast during our stay which was great. The food was incredible, everything I had during my stay I really enjoyed, and found it to be well worth the price. The service from all the staff that we received was top notch, they were very welcoming, polite and respectful.
I found the price to be very reasonable considering all of the above, and would definitely find myself considering staying there again. If it's in your budget, I would definitely say to give it a go, you won't regret it.
