Fantastically located on the famous Strand in London. With the River Thames behind you and the lively West End in front of you, you will have an easy time finding everything you came to London for. Why not walk over to world famous Covent Garden and choose a show to go and watch in 'Theatreland'. Take a stroll across nearby Waterloo Bridge to see what locals and taxi drivers alike call "South of the River" and all it has to offer, the magnificent London Eye, the cultural South Bank and the famous Waterloo station. There is so much to do in London and so close to your hotel that you'll be hard pushed to find a better place to stay!!
Not only is this little gem well located it is also steeped in history and well facilitated. Originally established as a friendly meeting place for Indian diplomats on a mission in London in 1946, the Hotel Strand Continental retains the same informal and casual atmosphere today.
Facilities also include a 1940's styled bar and restaurant perfect for meeting other travellers.
All rooms have washbasins, shared bathroom facilities, linens provided and dorms are all mixed. Sorry, no lift!
Please note that a £10 key deposit will be charged on arrival, and returned to guests when they return their room key on departure.
