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.

From the moment we walked into the Strand Hotel, the staff were there, smiling and going the extra mile for us. The room was simple and very comfortable-and best of all quiet. We were in the second floor below the rooftop terrace and not a sound came through. We slept so well. The bed a comfortable and the room and bathroom clean. For us, the staff are the highlight of this secret little hotel. They are just so kind and friendly, they even remembered us and our story the night after checking in when we ran into our check-in staff member at the bar. The breakfast is simple and they provide fruit and yoghurt for celiacs. We will definitely stay there again and recommend you do too.

We had a lovely stay at the strand; the staff were so friendly and inviting and it was so close to the city without being overly busy. When we unexpectedly had to stay an additional night after our flight home was cancelled, they looked after us very well again and made us feel welcome our entire stay. We will definitely return to this establishment, loved it!!

A Disappointing Stay Despite Friendly Staff

It’s worth noting upfront that the Strand Hotel is a 3-star property - and while expectations should be set accordingly, there’s undeniably better value to be found in Sydney for a similar price. Access to the rooms is via a narrow, winding staircase, which isn’t ideal if you’re carrying luggage or have any mobility concerns. That said, the staff were lovely and helped me with my bags, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the room didn’t match the photos advertised - the bedhead and linen were completely different, and the bathroom had peeling tiles and signs of water damage or mould. The rooftop, which was a drawcard for booking, was closed for an event. While this was disappointing in itself, the noise from the event carried straight into my room, making it impossible to sleep. All in all, while the team were kind, the experience fell short - especially for the price.

Quaint property with an excellent bar & restaurant on the ground floor. Conveniently located very close to many other restaurants too. Easy walk to the Botanic Garden and the Opera House. The staff was fun & friendly, while also being very professional. When I go back, I'm staying here!
