"This hotel has recently reopened after a long closure and, as a result, is suffering a few teething problems. However, the staff are wonderful. They were helpful whenever we requested anything, extremely welcoming and very friendly. The teething issues meant we had to request a few things for our room such as bins! However, this would not put us off staying again. And the fact that the staff were trying so hard to please guests is a huge point in its favour."

Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property was good"

Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice room, slightly dated but quiet and comfortable."

The Arden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was amazing."

The Swans Nest Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good stay, very generous sized room. Staff really helpful, hotel is definitely in need of some TLC which it looks like they are trying to complete. Overall though, I would recommend the hotel as somewhere to stay for the cost involved."

The Townhouse

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at the Townhouse on a couple of previous occasions which should tell you everything about our opinion of it. Good breakfast options, freshly cooked, and a really nice touch of 20% off all other food if you are a guest. Great location in the middle of Stratford, although you do have to be careful of all the parking restrictions if you are travelling by car. Its an old building with lots of character. One disappointment - it says the bar is open until 22.30 and we couldn't get a draught pint of beer at 22.15! This isn't acceptable at these prices. Overall, though, another lovely experience at The Townhouse"

The White Swan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Welcoming and friendly staff; the room was clean and very comfortable; amazing breakfast and great location very close to all the main attractions"

Hotel Du Vin Stratford Upon Avon

8/10 Good

"We had an enjoyable stay and found the hotel well situated close to the main attractions in Stratford-Upon-Avon. We wouldn't hesitate to go back. The breakfast was exceptionally good."

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"The Queen's Head is small, comfortable, good value, and convenient to local sights, but it's fairly basic inn-style accommodation above a lively pub. Staff are friendly and helpful, but they are mostly pub staff. The bar across the street is noisy in the evenings (some wonderfully bad karaoke), which some guests may find disruptive. Its main virtue is that it is cheap, clean and convenient."

Premier Inn Stratford-Upon-Avon Waterways

10/10 Excellent

"Good location and staff was helpful especially the cafe-breakfast person!"
