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.."

Pen & Parchment Inn by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"Neat place above the pub. If staying in that section, the stairs are quite narrow to get checked luggage up - but doable. We booked through Expedia and it said no attendant on site - so there was confusion on where to leave our bags and we did not receive a response so we ended up paying Premier Inn to hold our bags. But when we got to the hotel after checkin time , there was reception in the Pub. She was very nice and got us checked in quickly. Place was old and could use a dusting of the windows. We used the fan to stay cool but would have liked to prop a window open for a breeze. Bed was comfy enough and had extra pillows. Overall nice stay for the night."

Bodhi Tree Cottage - Grove Road Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far the best value option I found in Stratford for a group of six and it worked better than I could have hoped for a family group including two young kids. The living room area was more open plan than I’d realised, which was a bonus. Brilliant location - very central. The car park next door is handy with good availability, albeit not quite as competitively priced as Bodhi Cottage!"
