The hotel is in an excellent location. Everything in Stratford is in easy walking distance. The staff were all friendly and efficient. The only downside is the £8 overnight car parking charge.

Perfect location with a short walk across the foot bridge to the RSC and other major attractions, and abundant shops, and restaurants. The hotel has an old English charm and though the decor is a bit worn and dated, the staff is very helpful and welcoming.

The location is ideal both for tourism and in my case for work visiting a local factory.
Having the Bistro Pierre as part of the hotel gives good dining options.

Great stay. Staff really friendly and dog friendly room. Room was so clean and as it was a 50th Birthday celebration the hotel left some Prosecco and chocolates and a handwritten note as well as dog treats and toy. What a big surprise and we all loved it. Definitely stay here again. Thank you.

What a gem of a hotel. Check in with Sam was a delight, room although maybe requiring a little TLC, was fab. We took the dog and he was catered for us much as us!!
The only gripe, and it’s minor was the eggs Benedict at breakfast was poor!!
That said would highly recommend and would stay again.
