For a place on the Strand with an amazing view, this is an absolute bargain. It's an old hotel, but if you simply care about a clean and quiet place to lay your head at night, you can't look past Aquarius.
We were on the 9th floor.
The view over the Strand and Magnetic Is was First class.
Rooms were very comfortable.
With a great Kitchenette..
So happy with our accommodation.Loved the beachfront.

It is a little dated in rooms. No information about laundry on site. Even when we inquired the response was washing machines only take coins .Not informed it was $2 only.
Location is perfect. Lovely views.
