Beautiful Hotel, right in the middle of Stratford Upon Avon.
Breakfast was beautiful and staff were very helpful. Opposite RSC and River Avon, Parking was £10 for weekend stay. Excellent value.
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.
The room was spacious and clean with good facilities.Staff were all friendly and helpful.Breakfast was good but slow (half hour wait after ordering)
Hotel is in ideal place for theatregoers.
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.
A great hotel. Very comfortable and well located for Stratford and the RSC.

The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities required, and the location is perfect for the centre of town. Would definitely recommend!
