Very nice comfortable stay
Very nice hotel in the perfect location. Plenty of parking space which is always fantastic. We stayed 1 night as a family. The hotel is very comfortable for a short stay. The check in and welcome was met with very friendly smiley staff. Our room was fine with enough space for the 3 of us. The bed was comfy and we slept well. We had drinks in the late evening with the Negroni being one of the best one’s i’ve ever had, ended having two!! There were no pizzas when we tried to order room service around 11pm which was a bit disappointing so we settled for sandwiches/cheese platter/grapes/crackers/salad which was fine. The rooms are key entry, where I think card entry would be better. Would happily stay again. Stratford Upon Avon is a beautiful little town and obviously all things Shakespeare are quite incredible. Would happily recommend this place.

Lovely property in an utterly brilliant location. Some aspects of our room were a bit disappointing. It looked a bit tired in places Breakfast was also disappointing. We had a lovely brunch at Yorks in town instead on the second day. But we’d be back to the hotel based purely on location and the fact it was clean and staff welcoming and helpful

August 3-5, 2024. Temperature: very warm and no rain! We just adored this town and the hotel! I was disappointed that there was no Lift, but it worked! We loved our room, the workers, and how RSC was across from us! We very much enjoyed our visit, and if we ever came back, we will use this hotel again! We loved Allie who worked the front desk! She recommended Loxley Restaurant for dinner, and it was excellent!

Short visit to Stratford upon Avon
A return visit to Stratford staying in the Arden and going to see a play in RSC. The hotel is well located with parking. The staff are very professional and welcoming and the hotel itself is very good but could not help but think that parts are beginning to look a bit 'tired' and the breakfast food not as good as previously.

Lovely hotel. Warm welcome and friendly staff.
Lovely outside area. Large bedroom with plenty of bathroom space. Breakfast was average, I wouldn’t include it next time we stay as plenty of lovely places to eat on your doorstep. We would stay again.

First rate hotel in an ideal location for the RSC Swan Theatre and other attractions of Stratford-upon-Avon. Staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Deluxe room was very comfortable and well provisioned. Restaurant dining also excellent. Parking seemed ample and convenient, and although charged was very reasonable compared with other hotels we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend and stay here again next time we visit Stratford.

Very friendly staff. The room itself was really lovely. Marked down 1 star as property does not have a lift. However the staff are very accommodating with carrying your luggage to your room. Also, non feather bedding is preferable for both ethical reasons and comfort.

A well placed hotel.
A very well placed hotel for the theatre and the river. The staff were friendly and efficient. We felt that the hotel could do with some refurbishment especially the carpets. Being faced with a service charge at check out is putting you in an awkward position. Should explain that there is a charge for a newspaper.
