Hotel Strand Continental - Hostel

Great location, cheap for the area

Some noise up to 3am from the inevitable party-crowd travellers that such a cheap place attacts. No hot water one day. Blocked showers one day.

Very good location! The hotel is close to three underground tube stations, Charing Cross Station, Temple Station, and Covent Garden Station. It is almost at the center of London, and serves as a good transportation hub.

I didn't find any special bad points. The shower drained a little bit slowly, but the other youth hostels that I had been also had the same problem.

nothing much , honestly speaking, It is dirty and had bugs I was bitten everywhere u can think of.

Friendly and welcoming staff, location excellent, warm room and hot water. For the price very good value.

Difficult to find bathrooms and toilets - should be marked on the door.

Nothing

This hotel obviously had an S missing from the word. If there had not been a £50 deposit lost I would have relocated to somewhere else. There was no lift, 5+flights of stairs before you get to a room where the curtains are only hanging on by a couple of hooks,you were expected to make your own bed, and there were traps for cockroaches under the beds.

The reception person from the us living in the uk

(1) dirty carpet, not vacuumed, (2) minimal breakfast offered, (3) manager turned off heat in bar while I was working on my computer, (4) no light in shower room and did not bother to replace when brought to their attention, (5) housekeeping ceased after the second day, (6) had to prepay full 7 days upon check-in and had a key deposit, (7) wi-fi only available in the bar, (8) no change of linen for the full 7-day stay, (9) no change of bath towel and no bath toiletries (** this list is not a complaint, just a statement of fact **)

Nice friendly staff

Very basic facilities, very dated and the carpets need a good clean, new towels required and cleaner linen.
