Great location and within an easy and flat walk to all the town amenities. Hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. Easy parking in the hotel car park, a rarity for Stratford hotels.

Jul 10, 2025

The location is great and (directly opposite The Swan Theatre) and the aircon works brilliantly (a much needed bonus on a hot sunny day), but the hotel decor is tired and I declined to pay the suggested 60% (yes 60%) service charge because I waited soooo long for someone to appear at the bar. I would only repeat if visiting The Swan Theatre.
