Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

The Arden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My sister and I came to Stratford Upon Avon to see As You Like and we loved our one night stay at The Arden. The close proximity to the theatre (across the street!), the lovely staff, the dining experience .. were all top notch. My room was also comfortable and well maintained. If ever we come back to SUA, we'll definitely stay at The Arden!"

The Swans Nest Hotel

8/10 Good

"Proximity to centre of Stratford was excellent. Room was a good size, clean but slightly dated (I think that there is refurbishment work going on at the moment). Really good value for money and added bonus of cheap parking and electric charge points in the car park. Would definitely stay at the Swans Nest again."

Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location, an easy walk to the Royal Shakespeare Theater and other Shakespeare locations. Parking ample and easy. Staff wonderful. This historic old building has been very well cared for and the decorations and gardens were delightful. We were very happy to find a ventilator already in our room. The bed was comfortable, the shower wonderful, the storage generous for our two day visit. Stratford itself was absolutely lovely, but this fantastic hotel made the trip even better!"

Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, highly recommend"

The Grosvenor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely convenient hotel. Super location and easy to get to the main part of Stratford. The hotel is clean and has ample parking at the rear. The room too was clean. But is literally a bed. A couple more things would have made our stay more comfortable. Such as more than one pillow each, a mirror in the room would be good also just a bin. There are no hair dryers or iron in the room. On whole a good hotel for a short stay."

Premier Inn Stratford-Upon-Avon Waterways

8/10 Good

"It was a good place to stay. Staff was helpful. Clean with USB ports in the room. We had a nice view of canal below. Decent breakfast/dinner menu and nice little bar with outside seating by the canal."

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"Ideal location, amazing hosts, we had a great time. Room is basic but comfortable which is reflected by the price, We would definitely go back. Parking can be tricky, we parked in the multi storey for £15 a day which is 1 minute walk away"

Romeo’s Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fantastic place to stay: clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location just around the corner from Shakespeare’s Birthplace. Although it is in the pedestrian-friendly walking district, parking was still easy and convenient. And the location is great for exploring town. The host provided excellent directions for getting in, which made arrival simple and stress-free. The space had a very nice layout and everything felt thoughtfully arranged. Overall, it was an extremely convenient and enjoyable stay."
