Staff were excellent - friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel is very old and, in places, felt like it. Our bathroom in particular could do with a make-over. Having said that the hotel is in an excellent location within 5 minutes walk of the town centre, though traffic was very busy. We were there for a wedding and the young lady in charge of arrangements, and her staff, were quite brilliant. There was also a good choice for breakfast. All in all a good stay, rather than excellent.

Awful hotel. Avoid at all costs. See photos.

AVOID this hotel. The check‐in guy could hardly speak English and was deeply weird. The lobby/lounge had broken furniture. The photos of the hotel are deceptive. The room is noisy and right next to a main road. There are conspicuously broken light fittings and chipped bedroom furniture in a room that over £300/night. There is no refrigerator in the room and no lock in the bathroom door ...and (at 6ft) I can't stand up in the shower without hitting my head on the ceiling. The view from the window is a bitumen flat roof and wiring. Awful. The breakfast food is utterly loveless and they dont even have whole milk for one's cereals. Our room was over £300 for a nights stay. It's not even worth £3. Avoid. (I should have read the Google reviews before I came here... they give it 3.9 / 5 which is generous)
Cheap broken Bathroom Door lock (no slider/bolt), so whistle when you are using the loo)
Missing hook on bathroom door
View from window: bitumen flat roof and wiring ...for a room that more than £300 per night !
Broken light fittings in room, that cost more than £300/night

Good location very close to the centre of Stratford. Interesting old building with good facilities. We tried to book a spa treatment but no-one responded to our emails. Given the price of this hotel it was surprising that breakfast wasn't included and there was a £7 a day parking charge. Nice hotel but expensive for what it is once all the hidden charges are factored in.

Theatre stay

Just an overnight stay to attend RSC. On such a hot day/night the air conditioning in our room was most welcome and made for a far better nights sleep. The hotel is working hard to make itself greener which is great to see. It is a little tired in some areas but I note work is taking place to address this. It would help if the reception area was bigger and had more staff to check-in or out. Finally, this venue is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

On the first night the fire alarm went off 5 times within approximately 30 mins from just before midnight till half past midnight. It was extremely loud and upsetting. I called through to reception several times but no answer. I eventually found a different phone number which was answered and they said it was a false alarm in the dining room. It is not until you arrive at the hotel that they tell you that breakfast costs £18 per person per day. Then it is not until you get to breakfast that they tell you that some breakfasts have an additional £5 charge. You have to book a time for breakfast and as soon as you finish something, your dish is taken away, leaving you feeling they are trying to rush you out. At breakfast, simple menu choices or a request for more tea was met with further questions and judgement from the waiting staff. One morning we put a do not disturb sign on the door for 30mins, which was ignored - house keeping knocked asking to clean. The hotel is very close to the town so we decided to take all other meals in town due to the experience at the hotel. The town is lovely and there is so much to do and see and so many nice cafes and restaurants.

Not great.

Stayed in a standard king, the front of the buolding looked lovely butvwe were put at the back of the build that seemed to have been built in the 70s? (Not nice looking) the room was fairly clean and the bed was comfortable but the window wouldnt open, the aircon made a terrible knocking noise but there was a fan in the room. The bathroom had seen better days, the wash basin had a huge crack running though it and it was chipped. There was a hole in a wall tile by the toilet and the towel rail had a screw missing on the top of the rail and half hanging out on the bottom! My wife gas a dairy intolerance so we asked for oat milk but they didnt have any so i had to by some from the shop next door. Some staff were pleasant but alot ignored you when walking around the hotel. Wont be going back.
