Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

The Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked this place in general and I would stay there again, facilities were fantastic, the location couldn't be better, its a lovely building and the staff were mostly very nice and helpful. I had the ground floor room and while it wasn't particularly secure, I didn't have anything valuable to lose so wasn't worried about the window not closing properly. It was recently under new management apparently, so we had some slight mis-communications, I certainly would've been more comfortable ordering a hearty breakfast if it'd been clearer exactly what was included in the breakfast I paid for, but I was given the public menu to order from, rather than a guest menu and no explanation. My friend did have some challenges with the chef getting upset about her having severe coeliac disease, and as we were sat next to the kitchen we could hear him grumbling and complaining and not taking it seriously which is a worry when a stray crumb might see her in hospital. The unprofessional chef was a blip on an otherwise great stay."

The Arden Hotel

8/10 Good

"The reception team is very helpful. The rooms are well appointed but note no charging points at bedside. My main point of feedback is less about the hotel and more about Expedia. We chose The Arden due to its very close proximity to the theatres and the fact that it is one of the more luxurious - and you pay for that - in the town and we wanted to try it because of its reputation and having stayed elsewhere before. But Expedia failed to let us know that the restaurant would not be open for dinner because of a wedding which took over the space. Apparently because the hotel did not have our phone number (as it was a Expedia booking) we were not included on the ring round they did to let other residents know.. But Expedia should have told us. We only found out at check-in. Had we known about the wedding we would have booked somwhere else close as there is lots of choice. To be fair to the hotel, the receptionist proactively offered to book us into a restaurant, which was ironically much closer to the hotel we stayed in only two months ago. So overall, our experience didn’t quite live up to expectations because we couldn’t really take advantage of all the hotel facilities - neither dinner before or the bar after the theatre, directly opposite. It was more luck than planning that the hotel could secure a booking in a commensurate restaurant and that the Dirty Duck wasn’t too busy for a drink afterwards."

Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"A lovely quirky & very old hotel. We had a great stay & will come back again. Not really any negatives above what you would expect from an old historic building. Attention to detail could be improved in a few area's, but these are minor, picky things. Positives far outweigh the negatives. Great building,l & great location to town. Family room was very nice & spacious, staff were friendly & helpful. Excellent breakfast (cold plates at 1st breakfast! Attention to detaiil). Swimming pool was excellent & 13year old loved it, as did I! A great short vacation & will return.."
