Frank, United Kingdom

Perfect location for the sights of Stratford. Also, near RSC. Historic inn. Large room. Great ambiance. Would stay again.

Kimberly, United States of America

Centrally locates and easy walk to any of the local sights. Even Anne Hathaway’s Cottage is just a 20 minute walk across paved walkways, through quiet countryside. The rooms are spacious enough, and the staff were very helpful.

Stay in the Heart of Stratford-upon-Avon –

One of our top picks in Stratford-upon-Avon.This picturesque 17th-century inn is located in Stratford-upon-Avon, 10 minutes’ walk from the rail station. The Shakespeare Hotel offers 4-star accommodations, free Wi-Fi and charming rooms.

Guest can dine in the adjoining Marco Pierre White New York Italian, where inspiration from Marco’s Italian heritage and his love of New York merge on the menu, seeing pasta and risotto sit alongside burgers and steaks.

The hotel is just 1,050 feet from Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Schoolrooms, New Place, the RSC theater and local shops.

It is just a 5-minute walk to the High Street, with its theater, shops and restaurants.

This is our guests' favorite part of Stratford-upon-Avon, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

The breakfast at the Mecure is too expensive. We enjoyed the 2nd morning's breakfast more, in one of the local cafes.
Staying at the Mecure Stratford Upon Avon was a good 2x night stay. The hotel is very central to everything. Watching a play (Taming of the Shrew) at the Royal Shakespeare was an absolute highlight, very funny & wonderful actors. Hiring a row boat and visiting the many shops, cafes and wonderful old pubs was fantastic.

“What I would rate as a 3-4 star stay, rather than the 5 star I'd hoped for.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double/Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Breakfast was charged separately to the room, cost £10. I feel it was overpriced:- it was serve-yourself; my friend rejected the bacon as it was very hard, having been kept on a hot tray for some time; I only ever a light breakfast (toast, banana, tea), and I had to ask a member of staff if there were any bananas available, as the fresh fruit bowl was placed out of my reach - and then she had to go in search of the bananas, as there were none in the bowl. I walk with the help of two support sticks, but no member of staff offered to help me with carrying my food. I also think that £10.00 for parking in the hotel car park is exorbitant. The air conditioning in the bathroom was VERY noisy, so much so that I had to avid switching on the bathroom light at night, or I would have disturbed most of the guests!
See below regarding Breakfast. The Reception staff were very helpful, unloading our luggage and taking it to our rooms. Also, helping with parking the car in very restricted space, and reversing it to help leave the car park. The air-conditioning in my room was fine, but see below re. bathroom.

Checking in was terrible. The receptionist was not able to deal with the person checking in and took a while to ask for help from a woman in the back. There were 4 parties waiting to check in. Why did she take so long to figure out that she needed help. Also, the parking was not clear and when she was saying where it was situated was completely wrong. We went to the desk to ask for some help in the room and was assured that the plumber would come up as soon as he was on duty. He did not show and the receptionist said we were told to come down. She was not there to know that and it was not true. We were not offered any of the spa treatments, tourist attractions or anything for that matter. When checking out, there was no, thank you for visiting and hope we had a nice stay. Not as professional as it should. The hotel and room was lovely, shame about your front desk.
The room was very nice.
