Location could not have been better and the weather was just perfect too

Rachel United Kingdom

Overnight visit went very well, no complaints, good breakfast, nice room, convenient location.

Sharpe United Kingdom

Hotel staff were lovely and very helpful arranging our breakfast as we had an early start. Great place to stay in walking distance to the centre of Stratford.

Charlie United Kingdom

Location, comfortable room, clean bathroom facilities.

Gareth United Kingdom

Especially liked comfortable chair to read in with strong reading light above my head. Comfortable and spacious room. Quiet. Extremely close to the theatre so ideal location. Good and reasonably priced breakfast

Mark United Kingdom

Friendly staff; very comfortable and clean room. The location is superb - just a very short and delightfully pretty walk to the theatre and to the beautiful river front , which affords wonderful walking opportunities along its banks.

Susan United Kingdom

The location suited us very well. Perfect location for visiting the RSC. The room was perfect for our 2 night stay. Breakfast was lovely. We didn't dine at the restaurant but have done so on previous visits and it was very nice.

Roy United Kingdom

Great location right next to the centre, very comfortable beds, nice bar by the river

Liam

Location, we were upgraded to a suite which was superb. Having a Bistro Pierre in the hotel was convenient and their service and food were excellent. For years we have stayed at a local chain hotel but will definitely return to Swan’s Nest on our next visit.

Val United Kingdom

The room was spacious and the bed was large and very comfortable. Good shower.
