 The room was hideously small I reserved a standard single after staying in it for 3 days I m sure room 721 is a cosy single That s the hotel s code for a single room which is just slightly larger than a closet The elevated shower you have to climb up into it is tiny a bit of a hazard One slip on soap or water you will fall out of the shower down onto the sink The weather was warm with a breeze but as none blew in the window the room was stifling even with a fan I had to ask for a luggage rack ice bucket as none was provided I had only 1 towel for 3 nights until I requested more All in all it was a miserable stay 
 The location is fabulous for anyone who wants easy access to tourist sites Covent Garden Trafalgar Square Thames cruises etc or Theatreland There are lots of eateries nearby along with late night convenience stores The Strand Palace is in a great location for accessing convenient transport by tube bus there are always tons of taxis
