 Not really that much to do with the hotel itself but there was construction noise in the morning considering the hotel s location that s hardly a surprise Still it s an older building and if You re very sensitive to noises from rooms around You consider bringing ear plugs I didn t find the sounds to be much of a bother but mileages vary 
 I loved everything about the Strand Palace maybe that s because I ve never really stayed at a higher class hotel before but from the moment the attendant opened the door and carried our luggage the couple of steps upwards to the lobby I fell in love with the place The lobby is spacious and even with bigger groups of tourists it didn t ever really feel crowded Check in went smoothly and the signs on the walls will help You find Your room quickly We had to wait a short time for breakfast on the first morning outside of the restaurant seating area but I like that better than standing around with a loaded tray hunting for a table and the buffet was really offering pretty much all you could ask for All in all I can really only recomment the Strand Palace Hotel expecially if You re sight seeing and want a lot of the major attractions of London within a bare hour walking distance Btw we had room service on our first night because we were winded from the travel and the food was just awesome
