Disappointing

The room was so hot, so we had the very noisy fan on all night that was extremely dusty. The bed was very uncomfortable and the window couldn't stay open much. The bathroom was dirty from the floor to around the tap and in the sink. Very old facilities.

Great location

Great location and very comfortable bed. Breakfast average and rooms way too hot. Unable to sleep even with the fan on. AC not working in both rooms we looked at. Could do with some updating, the surface was peeling off our sink! Maybe an infection control issue. Staff worked hard and were friendly.

Staff were excellent - friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel is very old and, in places, felt like it. Our bathroom in particular could do with a make-over. Having said that the hotel is in an excellent location within 5 minutes walk of the town centre, though traffic was very busy. We were there for a wedding and the young lady in charge of arrangements, and her staff, were quite brilliant. There was also a good choice for breakfast. All in all a good stay, rather than excellent.

When we arrived at 3pm the room was not ready. It was me that had to ask the Receptionist about paying for parking. The air-conditioner was not working and it was very warm in the room even though we had a fan

Awful hotel. Avoid at all costs. See photos.

AVOID this hotel. The check‐in guy could hardly speak English and was deeply weird. The lobby/lounge had broken furniture. The photos of the hotel are deceptive. The room is noisy and right next to a main road. There are conspicuously broken light fittings and chipped bedroom furniture in a room that over £300/night. There is no refrigerator in the room and no lock in the bathroom door ...and (at 6ft) I can't stand up in the shower without hitting my head on the ceiling. The view from the window is a bitumen flat roof and wiring. Awful. The breakfast food is utterly loveless and they dont even have whole milk for one's cereals. Our room was over £300 for a nights stay. It's not even worth £3. Avoid. (I should have read the Google reviews before I came here... they give it 3.9 / 5 which is generous)
Cheap broken Bathroom Door lock (no slider/bolt), so whistle when you are using the loo)
Missing hook on bathroom door
View from window: bitumen flat roof and wiring ...for a room that more than £300 per night !
Broken light fittings in room, that cost more than £300/night

Good location very close to the centre of Stratford. Interesting old building with good facilities. We tried to book a spa treatment but no-one responded to our emails. Given the price of this hotel it was surprising that breakfast wasn't included and there was a £7 a day parking charge. Nice hotel but expensive for what it is once all the hidden charges are factored in.

Theatre stay

Just an overnight stay to attend RSC. On such a hot day/night the air conditioning in our room was most welcome and made for a far better nights sleep. The hotel is working hard to make itself greener which is great to see. It is a little tired in some areas but I note work is taking place to address this. It would help if the reception area was bigger and had more staff to check-in or out. Finally, this venue is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
