The Strand Hotel 99 William Street, Darlinghurst, New South Wales 2010

"Food only, no hotel. August 2023: Went for drinks and quick dinner in a group. Renovation is very nice, almost a bit too fancy! Definitely more a restaurant/bistro now than the pub it used to be! Drinks are priced as such (higher) but the food was pretty good and good value. Lacked a bit of vibe on a Thursday night (quiet and pretty empty). Probably most suited for a quiet dinner."

"I booked The Strand on the fly as a late minute booking, and Jesus Christ was I surprised just how good it was. The bougie boutique feel of it reminded me of a chić hotel in the Netherlands. The service was phenomenal and Ruben went out of his way to make the stay even better. I almost didn’t want to leave a review incase I can’t get a spot here next year. From the small touches to the fantastic comfy room - The Strand over delivered."

"had drinks on the rooftop and dinner in the ground floor bar. The service was excellent with attentive and polite staff. The wine list was limited but a good selection. Unfortunately the food was only average , I had a scallop entree which was served with a chorizo topping that spoiled the taste. I ordered s sirloin steak cooked medium which was salty and dry and I couldn't eat. Great atmosphere however the booths are not comfortable for dining , tables are a better option."

"I was there for work, but had a chance for lunch, & to prep their rooms for an event. Seemed like a nice cosy hotel/rooms, stylish decor & art. Rooftop bar nice & airy, good view of William St & glass windowed balcony for a good view for people watching, with nice garden. Location is central & convenient to CBD, & beautiful Hyde park, & nightlife of Potts Point. The downstairs french cuisine restaurant & bar is well worth visit even without a planned overnight stay. Indescribable how flavourful & moorish the french cuisine here is. The staff service is on point, welcoming & pleasant. The Strand Hotel has peaked my interest enough, that I willingly recommend it to friends & visitors."

"Stayed here for two nights with my family. The rooms are pretty clean with a nice vibe to it. Hotel is located outside the shopping district of Sydney - approximately 12 minutes walk, across the park. During the check in, we were greeted with 1 packet of white chocolate per room which was really tasty. The best thing about this place would be the services provided by the staff. Special shoutout to Ruben. We accidentally left a bag there and he assisted us closely throughout the whole process of sending it back to our home country. Overall, good experience and stay in this place."
