“Truly one of the best in Stratford on Avon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We have just returned from a stay at the Arden with our friends. The hotel was really easy to find with lots of character. Its location allows easy acces to all the amenities in the town and it's situated directly opposite the Royal Shakespeare theatre. The car park was free which wa also a bonus normally not found in central hotels. The hotel itself was modern/ boutique style but still had original features and charm. The room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable with tea/coffee water fridge hair dryer etc. we had a view over the river which was lovely. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, breakfast was included in our rate, there was a good selection buffet continental and full cooked served. The hotel offered great value for money it's located within walking distance for places to eat and drink. I'm sure we will be back to sample this luxury again.

“Prime hotel in prime location”

Subject to a fantastic refurbishment this is a top notch hotel literally opposite the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I have stayed in many of the hotels in Stratford and this is simply the best. Our room was of excellent quality with large bathroom and all the trimmings including seperate shower and bath. Staff are superb and the breakfast could not be falted. Very good value at the time of year we went especially as car parking included in this very central location a few minutes walk to good restaurants and the town centre.

“SUPERB HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

The staff are fantastic - charming, helpful and very friendly. The facilities lovely. The room was really, really lovely and the bed was about the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Breakfast was the best I have ever been served. I had booked along with the theatre which is dead opposite and the shopping centre is just around the corner. From my point of view an excellent location. Definitely intend to return!

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed for one night and found everything to be perfect and exceeded expectations. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was beautifully served. The room had recently been re-furbished and was both tasteful and comfortable. Free parking was much appreciated as was free wi-fi. The location is fantastic. We went out of season and can highly recommend this as a great destination to both explore the area and, of course, with the Swan Theatre across the road to see the RSC perform.

Room Tip: Holly is a real treat with an amazing bathroom.
