Basic, mouldy bathroom, but good service

Room itself was comfortable and service was friendly, helpful and efficient. However the room and bathroom could have been cleaner, and there was quite a lot of mould in the bathroom. The mould might be old staining rather than active, but it's not a good look!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I will say that the staff were kind, the hot water worked, and the sheets & towels seemed clean, but the rest of the room/premises were filthy. The kitchen was never open, the carpet was thin & scratchy, and didn’t seem to have been replaced or cleaned since the 1970s, the toilet seat was crooked, and the stall shower in my room had a shocking amount of black mold. The pictures of the patio furniture were inaccurate. They had old wooden picnic benches with overflowing ashtrays. I don’t mind old or small, but this was unhygienic.

beautiful house in historical town-centre

Excellent accommodation, just a few minutes away from the station. It's in the historical centre of this beautiful town. The room was clean and check-in and cash payment was easily done. I'd book it again next time I'll go to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Fair price for a quick visit

We went to Strafford Upon Avon for a couple of days to explore around spending most of time outside. The room was very simple and but with some tea and coffee available. The heating went off in the evening but we called the reception and they turned it on again (the room was freezing). The hot water wasnt that hot and the shower was a bit difficult due the low temperatures. The tiles in the shower had some black spots but it was ok. The Hotel is walking distance to the high street and best places to visit. Easy checkin and checkout.

DO NOT STAY HERE

VERY dated room with no effort to make it make the room feel like a hotel room. No heating, no lock on the bathroom door, mould in the bathroom and around the window, kettle just plonked on the floor with wires everywhere. Handwritten notices all over the room. Extremely loud pub/club noises until 4am. Dirty sheets. Do not stay here

Basic but clean

This was a cheap room in centre of Stratford so you obviously get what you pay for as Stratford accommodation is not cheap. It was v basic clean accommodation in a very old pub - don’t expect anything more than that and was fine for one night.

This is the worst place we have stayed in a long time. Photos show a simple set-up, I wasn’t expecting luxury, but at the price we paid I was expecting somewhere we could get a decent nights sleep that was not gross. The beds were terrible, visibly uneven and worn down. Bathroom was filthy. Second floor with a beautiful window over the street, but no lock on it or mechanism to prevent it from opening all the way. In historic buildings, I understand there are some things that will be different. But I booked for two adults and two small kids so this is a major hazard to not even mention. Location is great, I’ll say that.

Basic clean accommodation above a busy noisy pub

Location is an easy walk from the station and close to the centre of town and its attractions. No breakfast is available unless booked in advance. Room has a kettle. Good size room. Comfortable bed. Well heated with thermostatic radiator and heated towel rail. Water pressure in shower good, hot water immediately available. Mould on shower ceiling and small patches of mould on grouting between tiles. I stayed on a mid-September Saturday night and had requested a quiet room. Any sound insulation was ineffective with music, singing and shouting clearly heard from the bar below. Also noise from the corridor too. Single glazing means that any external noise is heard. The night I stayed the pub opposite had a live band that played until late and the last revellers were still talking in the street outside until 1am. Regular not blackout curtains. I’d stay here again but would bring good earplugs and an eye mask.

There is very loud music playing till late hours of the night. Back area ( only way to access guest rooms) have other patrons who are smoking making the whole area unsafe for young children. None of the above is mentioned on the website for guests to make an informed decision. Not suitable for families with children at all.
