"Nice hotel, quirky and interesting. Unfortunately my lock on my door didn't work and required someone to let me back into my room every time I left. Additionally, the breakfast was not great."

"really gorgeous hotel! rooms are small but laid out so well - i would highly recommend for solo travellers especially those who are accessing the o2! staff are so knowledgeable and kind"

"Very enjoyable stay. Polite and helpful staff. Great location and very good room. "

"Everyone is special at the Strand. Staff takes pride in their work! Although the rooms are small, it is still good value for the area. It’s in a fantastic area to walk the themes and visit Big Ben along with shopping on Oxford! "

"We’ve stayed a few times now and think the Superior Studio Suites are spacious and well appointed, offering good value given the hotel amenities and great location. The restaurant is always excellent and is worth a visit for non-residents, which is how we discovered the hotel in the first place. At the current time there is some construction work going on nearby. Once inside, you won’t be aware of it though."

"Clean room, great space in the lobby for working, very helpful and nice staff."

"The concept and design of the boat were great. However the elevator service was highly problematic. During our 3 night stay one of the two elevators was out of order the entire time. On one day, for several hours, the other elevator was out of order. During that several hour period guests had to walk up or down 3 or 4 flights of stairs. Surprisingly at reception, as people were checking out with suitcases, no offer was made to carry down luggage for guests. The food at breakfast was not warm enough. The lids to pots were heavy and there was no place to rest the lids while scooping out food. Food quality was fair."

"The room was a bit smaller than the image let on, the air conditioning wasn't as strong as stated by the staff so some nights were warmer than others and the air conditioning only goes to 18C at the lowest and 23C at the highest. However, service was ready when needed. Room stayed cleaned. They need smaller wash rags the ones provided were essentially just towels along with larger towels. The breakfast was not really that great it was more so smaller options. Overall this location was good enough for just having a place to rest and keep your things. Other than that I wouldn't recommend it or visit again. It stays true to its minimalist tone. However, there's minimalist and just unreasonably cramped. The basement has a weird odor as well not sure if it was mold or some sewage was broken but you smelled it after leaving for a while. The staff was kind but not all too accommodating nice people though. The location of it being on Old street was a great plus other than the visit itself. "

"Great location, clean and very comfortable rooms, good food, friendly staff. Have stayed multiple times."
