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.
Kam, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, friendly staff and nice old building.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean but needs updating.

The room was clean but the bathroom was in need of an upgrade. It was very dated and showed its age. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. Staff seemed nice but didnt acknowledge the birthday of one of us despite a prior email from the hotel saying they would make the stay special. No fridge in the room which meant the bottled water in the room was luke warm due to the hot sun shining in all day prior to check in. At night, the door was open and we went straight into the lift without seeing night staff. The lift was not activated by a key so anyone could have accessed the building and various floors. The hall ways and lift need some attention to fix/redecorate etc... The hotel was advertised as 4* but it felt very much like a 3*.
