Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had read some reviews that worried me but I shouldn’t have worried. The staff were charming and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent. I had an evening meal and a super breakfast. I stayed in a classic double room which was fine for 1 but I think would be a squeeze for 2 but there are bigger doubles. The en suite room had everything necessary for a short stay and the bed was extremely comfortable. The room was air conditioned which was marvelous given the weather we’ve just had. The lifts (bar one) were working. Thank you for a comfortable stay."
