Hotel Strand Continental, Bed & Breakfast in London

I spent 4 nights in a shared dorm with 3 other people. The pictures of the hotel doesn't show it, but the room I was in, had two bunk beds (and not single beds like in the picture). The room was absolutely tiny- One person could BARELY fit between the two bunk beds, and there was very little room for luggage. The bed was OK, it was comfortable. You just had to put on your own sheet. The shared shower and toilet were clean. So was the stairway. The carpet in the room may have been clean, but it looked very filthy (I think it needed to be changed after years of wear and tear) Regarding the toilet: One of my room mates told me that before I arrived, one guy was stuck in the toilet because the lock or handle got broken. He had to climb through the tiny window (there was a landing + fire escape stairs outside) and make his way down to get out! The lock/ handle got fixed by the hotel quickly, but that story scared me a bit. Anyway, I would recommend this hotel (which to be honest should be called HOSTEL) to anyone who don't mind VERY basic, no frills accommodation. If you don't expect anything fancy, then you should be happy! The location is excellent.

instead of staying 4 nights accommodation as booked. We left the hotel for 1 night. We slept the raw springs from mattresses. And there was a door which banged so loud all night every 5 minutes. We came to pay for 2 nights, although we only stayed there 1 night.

Nice hostel, very central, lead by an indish family. Only when you dont like traffic noise its not good for you. Breakfast isn't typically english; you get only toast with strawberry marmalade or muesli. The staff is very friendly, also the computer could be used. only flaw: Our 4-bed-room was very small.

the staff r very good, they take care good. it located in center of london near the tube, london eye, westminster, bigben, picadailly, covent garden, soho. actually it can walk to those place
