Top Shakespeare's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

The Grosvenor Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel he getting back on its feet. It is immaculately clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. It is an excellent low budget value gif money hotel. Wonderful proximity to the RSC"

Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, really great breakfast. Very clean and the staff were very helpful. Plenty of parking."

The Swans Nest Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and clean Restaurant and bar good options for eating In centre of town"

Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The desktop was very helpful."

Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel is quite nice. Unfortunately, it’s challenging to contact the front desk from the rooms and we had to request three times to get a second set of towels for the two of us. The air conditioning wasn’t turned on so the room was quite stuffy as the windows do not open. The location was superb, the staff friendly, and the room was comfortable. Overall, a nice experience."

The Queens Head

10/10 Excellent

"It was very convenient for town"

Premier Inn Stratford-Upon-Avon Central

8/10 Good

"Very weird hotel to get in and out of, lots of stairs and hallways. No parking on site, you need to pay to park either across the street or further down. Unfortunately the water in the hotel wasn't working in the morning when we were there - was a big shame since I really wanted to shower. Luckily we had water bottles to brush our teeth. This of course wasn't the hotel's fault but was a big inconvenience, especially since you are paying for comfort"

The Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Welcome at reception very friendly and staff pointed me towards a car park around the corner where I could leave the car for 2 days (£30 incidentally, so comparable with public car park rates). Room/bed comfortable, shower excellent. Breakfast menu varied and ample, and my wife's GF needs met. The location could not be better, with easy walking distance to all important Shakespeare sights, and literally opposite Shakespeare's schoolroom. Main purpose of our visit was to attend RSC production, and the theatre is only 5 minutes walk. A possible downside to this property for some is the lack of a lift...perhaps unsurprising in a 400-year old hotel, but we (both in our 70s) found 2 flights of stairs with luggage a bit of a struggle. That apart, this is a charming place to stay with bags of character and so central."

Stratford Studios

10/10 Excellent

"This was so amazing that we extended our stay. Conveniently located between train station and all the local historic sites. Full kitchen and washing machine made it great for us as senior backpackers. Rolando was very kind, gracious, excellent Communicator."
