Staff were friendly, room was fine - could have been cleaner ( shower and floor in particular) but location was good and we weren’t in Sydney to hang out in hotel room. We wouldn’t come back and stay here with our kids thought as rooms were noisy from other guests in the corridors and street traffic coming out of Kings Cross on a Friday and Saturday night!

My room was teeny tiny but suited a short stay. Next to no food left at brekky half way through service. No coffee. And no staff to be found. Bed super comfy and room quiet. I’d stay again but would expect a much lower rate. High due to time of year.

Great central place to stay in CBD areas of Sydney. The hotel was great with all amenities including roof top bar. Breakfast was great served in library but needs to keep it topped up for guests who do not get up early. Miguel in the bar area was a great host helped us with local area knowledge and shared great places to eat with excellent pub downstairs doing good meals but does need to have a better selection for Vegan dietary. Most definitely recommend the hotel and will stay here again :)

Very surprised that there were so many stairs, the information on the site only says three stairs to the entrance. I was given a second floor room and there were a lot of narrow stairs to get there. The room was fine

The Strand provided a comfortable and convenient stay for the first few days I spent travelling around. The included breakfast was more of a holdover snack until I could get an actual meal, but was nice to have nonetheless. The room was clean, but worn. The bottom of the curtains and the area around the window were stained with water damage. The rooftop bar was nice, but required a booking. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was spacious. For the price paid The Strand was great!

Walking distance to the city centre and kings cross. Great restaurants around the corner in Stanley st. We were worried it might have been noisy when we arrived but this wasn’t a problem. The staff were helpful when we arrived.

While I liked my room and the general area of the hotel, I did not like that there was no accessible staff or help desk. Also, it felt unsafe to me because while there are keys required to enter the room floors, all doors were open without a key required. It felt like a hostel because it was very independent. Breakfast was offered but one day it was not served and then the other a whole spread was served with croissants, yogurt, coffee, pastries, etc. Also, the rooftop was not open other than on the weekend. It attempts to be a hipster and cool spot but there is no information on those spots being open only on the weekend. In addition, access to the rooftop requires that people go through the room floors which would also make it feel even more unsafe. While I really wanted to like this spot, I paid too much for what I got...

Daytime staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Assistance with luggage was appreciated especially since there is no elevator in this hotel. The staircase was narrow and winding and needs attention to restore to its former glory. The hyped Casbah/rooftop bar didn't open during our stay due to a lack of customers according to bar staff. Disappointing since we were looking forward to the Mediterranean style offerings. We were also told the kitchen was closing in 2 minutes when we attempted to order food from the bar. Didn't realize it closed at 9pm. This left very few options on a rainy evening. The room was clean except for the dirty marks all over every wall. A coat of paint would make all the difference! We enjoyed the neighborhood but wouldn't return to The Strand Hotel unfortunately.
