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.

On the first night the fire alarm went off 5 times within approximately 30 mins from just before midnight till half past midnight. It was extremely loud and upsetting. I called through to reception several times but no answer. I eventually found a different phone number which was answered and they said it was a false alarm in the dining room. It is not until you arrive at the hotel that they tell you that breakfast costs £18 per person per day. Then it is not until you get to breakfast that they tell you that some breakfasts have an additional £5 charge. You have to book a time for breakfast and as soon as you finish something, your dish is taken away, leaving you feeling they are trying to rush you out. At breakfast, simple menu choices or a request for more tea was met with further questions and judgement from the waiting staff. One morning we put a do not disturb sign on the door for 30mins, which was ignored - house keeping knocked asking to clean. The hotel is very close to the town so we decided to take all other meals in town due to the experience at the hotel. The town is lovely and there is so much to do and see and so many nice cafes and restaurants.

Not great.

Stayed in a standard king, the front of the buolding looked lovely butvwe were put at the back of the build that seemed to have been built in the 70s? (Not nice looking) the room was fairly clean and the bed was comfortable but the window wouldnt open, the aircon made a terrible knocking noise but there was a fan in the room. The bathroom had seen better days, the wash basin had a huge crack running though it and it was chipped. There was a hole in a wall tile by the toilet and the towel rail had a screw missing on the top of the rail and half hanging out on the bottom! My wife gas a dairy intolerance so we asked for oat milk but they didnt have any so i had to by some from the shop next door. Some staff were pleasant but alot ignored you when walking around the hotel. Wont be going back.

The room was not of the standard I would expect from a 4 star hotel. I have seen better rooms at a premier inn. The window was defective, the water jug was chipped and so was one of the glasses. Although we had glasses there was no water. The wash hand basin was chipped and cracked neat the plughole. 2 of the towels were frayed at the edges. Before we unpacked we complained about the room but were told the hotel was fully booked and I should come back in the morning and they would try to change the room, we were told in the morning that they were busy cleaning the rooms as people were checking and the told us to come back at 3.00pm. We could not return at 3.00pm because we at the theatre and we returned after the play had finished. We were eventually moved to a superior room. All of this took a lot of time especially walking up and down the corridors because we were as far away as possible from the reception. We would not recommend this Hotel and certainly not stay there again. I must say, however, that the staff were very kind and pleasant.

The property was to a good standard and the room was clean and comfortable. However we were placed well to the rear of the hotel and it was along walk to the reception and breakfast room. The not so good at £24 each for breakfast it was expensive the English breakfast consisted of over cooked bacon black pudding that just fell apart when you touched it, baked beans that had been left on a warm plate in the kitchen for far to long. I would not give that breakfast to my dog. I found the vast majority of the waiting staff brusk, rude and ignorant and to make matter worse English was their second language. So my advice to you is spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

On arriving to our room we had no cold water, maintenance was called in and was rectified within the hr, the rim of the toilet our room was disgusting needs a good clean, and air conditioning was not working so didn’t sleep due to room being so hot, being on the ground floor didn’t want to open windows.

Beautiful, period building set away from the noise of the town centre, and only 10 minutes walk from the RSC theatre. We had the deluxe suite which, although grand and luxurious in its decor with a four poster bed, separate sitting-room and stained glass windows, had a slightly 'tired' bathroom. The bathroom blind had to be manually twisted at the bottom to close it for privacy, one tap had its trim missing and the extractor fan made the most horrific screaming noise soon after being switched on. This did subside each time, but it was an awful sound to endure if you were in the bathroom. The suite was very cold and no heating came on at 5pm as promised. The duty manager was excellent when we returned from the theatre, providing us with a portable heater, as well as manually over-riding the heating to give us some warmth in the end. We had a delicious cooked breakfast - full English and vegan English, plus an array of continental delights. All members of staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful, providing a caring and personal service. Parking is safe and at a small charge if £7 a day.
