Do not go there! This is not a Hotel. This is some rooms on the 2nd floor of an otherwise private apartment house. Very old, smelly, totally outdated. Totally outdated bathrooms, old beds. Just terrible. This is like a hostel, an expensive hostel, but no hotel. After checking everything, Hotel and room, despite it was prepaid, we decided not to stay there, and went next door to the Elite. That is an actual Hotel and worthwhile to spend the money. I cannot comprehend how the Strand shall have received the good ratings, impossible. Unless their guests were from the 18th century and like smelly old stuff.
Access to the house is along the tram line. You cannot stop and unload at the front door. You need to park away from the house, drag the luggage along the street around the house or even from further away to the front door. Elevator to the 2nd floor is there, but then you drag again your luggage over multiple stair cases down and up to get to the room.
