Nice hotel, pleasant staff and and a fantastic location for the theatre; could do with some updating in a number of areas. Nice restaurant and bar for evening meal, but the continental breakfast wasn't great and didn't really feel worth the cost.

What an amazing Hotel. We stayed for 3 nights and were extremely impressed with everything linked to the Hotel. We took advantage of the car parking facilities and found them extremely useful. Checking In and Out were simple and the Reception Staff were excellent. We stayed B&B and ate in the Hotel restaurant on two occasions. The food was delicious. All together a fantastic Hotel situated in a beautiful location. Thank you.

Amazing location - almost anywhere you would like to go is less than 15 minutes on foot! The snacks and fruits in the room were more than any other hotel we have seen. Having parking in the hotel itself was extremely convenient. And the staff were all wonderful. For people with limited mobility, it may be a problem as there are lots of steps and no elevators. Other than that, everything is great!

If you're visiting the RSC then there really is no better hotel; across the road from the main entrance and just down the road from the Dirty Duck. Along with the ideal location, the service is of a high standard and rooms very well appointed (air conditioning, comfortable bed, safe, and large bathroom). We enjoyed breakfast both mornings (there were no problems at all in accommodating small additions to the standard menu) and an excellent a la carte meal one evening. We really couldn't fault any element of our stay and highly recommend you pay the Arden and their wonderful team a visit.
