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.

Michael, United Kingdom

Room was amazing.beds very comfortable.breakfast fabulous.

The room was very roomy, bed was wonderful, everything was clean, staff was friendly, food was very good.

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 only (minor) downside was paying $10AU for two miniature soft-drinks to take up to our room. Everything else was just great!
Large clean and comfortable room, with a big Queen bed and air-conditioning! Most importantly, block-out curtains to allow a decent nights sleep, beyond when daylight breaks around 5am! Thank You!

I liked the hotel very much, except the car park is very small and I hate parking.... great location for the town. We stayed in the old part of the hotel and rooms where very old but clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was very nice indeed and a good selection, staff very helpful.

“Did not come close to meeting my expectations and not a good advertisement for British hotels.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double/Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Our room was extremely tired. Chairs where the arm rests were worn to the canvass and the bathroom would have needed a complete refit 10 yrs ago let alone now - very very poor. it was like a guest house from the 1970's rather than a £200 per night room in the 21st Century. The age of the buildings is no excuse for the quality of the furniture and fitments and the level of cleanliness - all of which were fair at best but poor in the majority. I was extremely disappointed, the cost in no way reflected value for money and I will definitely find somewhere else to stay the next time I visit Stratford.
The location in the middle of Stratford was perfect and car parking was ok given the location and historic nature of the building - although being charged an additional £10 for parking on top of what was already a hefty charge for the room was a bit much. The Service from the waiting staff at breakfast was superb and we had scrambled egg cooked to order which was delicious. However, the cleanliness of the dining area left a lot to be desired, the tables displaying items such as breakfast cereals etc were dirty and some crockery likewise. Fresh towelling robes and slippers in the rooms was just about the best bit of our stay !!!

“Ideal hotel for visit to Stratford upon Avon adding to the Shakespeare experience.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Classic Room with 2 Single Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
Flat roof view from room window a disappointment but that is probably difficult to avoid because of the age and layout of the building - on the pro side at least we were not overlooked. It would not put me off booking again. Very creaky flooring - again very old building cant be avoided but it took a bit of getting used to. We were on first floor so at least there was no one below being disturbed when we were walking about the room. Plates for hot breakfast would have been warmed to make sure the food did not cool down too quickly.
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Location was ideal for visiting all the Shakespeare family sites within Stratford upon Avon town. The hotel being centrally placed ( with parking on site for a very reasonable cost ) was surrounded by restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes, with an easy stroll to the beautiful riverside, the famous RSC Theatres and the Shakespeare family homes and historic places. Breakfast was the only meal we had in the hotel and it was delicious with plenty of choices.
