My stay here was pretty disappointing, to say the least. While the location was central and convenient, the overall cleanliness and service left a lot to be desired. The room was in a terrible state, which really affected my experience. The food options weren't great either, making for a less than enjoyable stay.

This hotel has a fantastic location, but my experience was marred by several issues. The food was decent, however, my room was not up to standard, with a broken window lock and dirtiness in the facilities. Although breakfast was acceptable, the overall value for money did not meet my expectations.

I had a great experience at the hostel with a truly unbeatable location right on the Strand, making it perfect for enjoying New Year’s Eve festivities. The room was clean and had decent storage, but the bathrooms could use significant improvement, and the corridors had a strong smell. Although the check-in staff were a bit unhelpful, my overall stay was enjoyable thanks to the location and the basic cleanliness of the room.

The Strand Continental is a great value option with an excellent location for catching London shows, making it super convenient. The staff really go above and beyond to ensure comfort and safety, which made a great impression. While the rooms are basic, they are clean. Just be aware that the lack of a lift can be a downside, especially for those with mobility issues.

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The location is unbeatable, right on the Strand, making it super convenient for exploring the city. My room was clean, but the bathrooms were not up to standard and had a strong odor. Check-in staff could have been more pleasant, which added to my frustration. Overall, if location is your priority, it might work, but I would consider my options carefully.

The hostel has a fantastic location, right across from the Lyceum theatre and close to all central attractions. While the beds were comfortable, the overall facilities need some updates and cleaning. I faced some communication issues with the staff regarding my stay extension. The breakfast options were limited and not very appetizing.
