My experience at Strathmore Hotel
I was in possibly the smallest room available. I was adequate for my stay. However the room didnt feel warm. The bathroom is very small. When I was using the loo it was uncomfortable as my leg was pressed right up to the sink. The cubicle was a tight squeeze too. However I enjoyed breakfast and the service good.

Warm, comfortable but basic and tired
Good price and get what you pay for - small room, high window/no view, tired building and diddy ancient lift. But warm and comfortable, with free reliable WiFi. Room not serviced on second day but I guess we got up rather late; staff could have offered though when I left the bin outside. Staff not in general engaging or interested. No alcohol free beer option in bar.

We had a twin room which was cold as the radiator wasn’t heating up on the first night but within minutes of reporting an electric heater was provided

Cold & draughty room
Average hotel. Dated. Staff were nice enough.
Travelled in December, was cold weather & the room was draughty & cold. Single beds. Duvets were thin, short & narrow.
Location was good for the tube & quiet area.

This was a beautiful property and a good value. The room was appropriate for a solo traveler, but would have been too tight for two. So make sure you know what size room you reserve. Staff was helpful but it took time to figure out the master switch issue for lights and tv. Walkable to many touristy options and good food. Would definitely stay here again.

My friend and I stayed at Strathmore and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very quiet—we never heard our neighbors.

Average hotel stay, room was on the small side and a bit dated.
Didn’t like that they also tried to take money from my account before I’ve arrived even tho on the booking it states pay at the accommodation.
This has happened before on previous visits. A simple phone call would suffice to confirm that I still required room
