The Strand provided a comfortable and convenient stay for the first few days I spent travelling around. The included breakfast was more of a holdover snack until I could get an actual meal, but was nice to have nonetheless. The room was clean, but worn. The bottom of the curtains and the area around the window were stained with water damage. The rooftop bar was nice, but required a booking. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was spacious. For the price paid The Strand was great!
