“Great location, amazing staff and even better rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

Such a good price and quality hotel. Booked Executive Room/Lounge on agoda.com for a good price. Unlimited internet, access to executive lounge with food, printing, drinks, etc., attentive concierge, comfortable bed, large flat screen TV, and perfect bathroom. Good breakfast as well. No complaints whatsoever for me from this hotel.

“Ah...Strand tower”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

Deal that I have got on website was just amazing, so value for money was more than I have expected. On top of that I could use Executive lounge and eat breakfast or use internet or just have a soft/warm drinks included in the price. Room was small, but I don't care about this factor on holidays. Location is superb.... More

WE GOT FOOD POISONING FROM THE STRAND HOTEL!!! My colleague and I booked The Strand for our last minute business trip to Capetown. The accomodations were fine - rooms were small, but clean. Nothing special. However, we did get access to the business lounge. We ate breakfast there, and all seemed fine. However, a little later, my colleague began feeling... More
