Good service from arrival with Rowan being friendly and helpful helping us with the parking space and with one more detail, two refreshing bottles of flavored water. Our bed was not so comfortable because it was a little deformed. In the morning a light breakfast with a variety of cereals, fruits and whole wheat bread with the toaster so that you can serve yourself to your liking.The unbeatable location being more or less a 5-minutes walk from several restaurants.
Everything was perfect at the strand hotel. We’ve been welcomed by Antonio who was kind and gentle. He conscientiously answered our questions. The room was perfectly clean, large with a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious with plenty choices. The Spa was also a nice place with pool, jacuzzi, Hammam,... We would come back
Lively area with restored Victorian buildings, gigs at O2 Academy & Vitality Stadium football games.
