Pleasant stay
Nice hotel with great location and view. Reception manned 24 hours and really helpful. Welcoming seats to relax in foyer but a bit chilly in the evening. Room had everything you needed , though pillows were flat with very noisy cotton which disturbed sleep unfortunately. Two chairs in room which is always good as a couple. Ate in the pub both evenings, one meal lovely but unfortunately fish and chips was not!! Breakfast was a good selection, fresh fruit and yoghurt was lovely.

Perfect for a nice stay in Stratford. Staff lovely, breakfast excellent value, the Bear bar and barman were lovely as well. Couldn’t fault it for the money we paid. Perfect location with added bonus of parking at reasonable price.

A great place to stay. Walking distance to theatre etc and lovely position by the river. Friendly staff and pleasant room although temperature too hot in room. Would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is first class for its location to the RSC theatre, which was what we needed on this visit. Having said that, it would be suitable for visiting the birthplace, high street etc too, if mobility is not an issue because it is right next to the river, just the other side from the theatre, with the Bridgefoot pedestrian bridge just outside and pretty much level access. We visited at a very quiet time of the year and so service in bar and food service at breakfast were both very fast. We will have to visit again at a busier time to see if that is always the case! Our room was quiet and comfortable, the bed was large as well as snuggly and what a treat to have a window that can actually be opened for fresh air fiends like us! We were in room 5, on the ground floor.

We had a lovely stay, friendly helpful staff. Lovely room, comfortable bed. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful stay really close to the town and theatres, restaurants etc. Everything is within walking distance and the walk is very picturesque too.

4/10 Fair

The hotel itself was nice - reception looked lovely though corridors a bit dated, and the room was wonderful. Sam on reception greeted us and was incredibly thoughtful about room placement (we didn’t want the noise above the bar!). It was a lovely welcome but a bit ironic. We have stayed in dog friendly hotels before and never had an issue - however, a neighbouring room to us left their dogs alone for 4 hours (against hotel policy) and they were barking and whining and scratching very loudly the entire evening. We had only booked one night away here as it seemed perfect to relax, but unfortunately it was hard to get any rest with the constant noise. We told reception many times, and they simply said they couldn’t get through on the phone to the owners. No offer to move us, or do anything to make our evening better. It was incredibly sad to hear distressed animals for the entire night. I understand things can be out of a hotels control, but if you’re wanting a relaxing break I’d pick any of the similar priced hotels nearby. We likely won’t return.
