The hotel bedrooms were disappointing in decor and were uninviting, they did not match the frontage of the hotel and restaurant. The staff were polite and very helpful.

Great place, fantastic location right by the river and town. We go to Stratford quite a bit and this is by far the nicest we’ve found. The bedroom was beautiful with a huge bed and large bathroom. Separate shower and bath. Breakfast was great too with helpful staff. We will be back

Good hotel for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre

The hotel is in an excellent location for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. On arriving early on the day of arrival we were made to feel very welcome and advised by Reception that we could park in the Hotel free of charge before check in and they even offered us a free hot drink as breakfast was still going on that morning. Check in was very smooth and the room was good. Just a couple of niggles that the TV signal kept going on and off and the fridge wasn't working but nothing very much to put us off to that degree. Breakfast was very good and staff were very attentive. However unfortunately the check out experience wasn't so good as additional service charges were tried to be applied. We queried these as it clearly says on the Hotel.com booking that the service charges are included, and as such they were then taken off. So, on the whole we did enjoy it but the 'extra' service charges issues did take the shine off it a bit which was a shame.
