Just returned from a two night stay at the Swans Nest hotel and what can I say except - ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! From the moment I walked in, Kate on reception was wonderful! Went above and beyond to make me feel so welcome, I could tell then that this hotel was home away from home! I enjoyed a couple of drinks in the bar, served by Serena who again was wonderful! Very bubbly and positive and just made the evening that much better! Rooms are spacious, clean and tidy! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anybody! I can’t wait to return!

The service was great! There was an error with room allocation and as the booked room was not available, we got upgraded to a suite which was wonderful as we were celebrating a special milestone birthday. The dinner at the Trevellyn Restaurant was beyond expectation as we were vegetarian and the vegetarian meal prepared by the chef was awesome. The hotel decor itself looked a little tired although it added to the authentic look of the listed building. It was a hot weekend during our stay and although there was no air conditioning, a small fan was provided which made a little difference when sleeping at night. The gardens needed some upkeep and it would have been lovely if the fountains had been working. Overall we did enjoy our stay and look forward to coming back again after it has gone through some upgrading and refurbishing.

We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Stratford for a couple of days. We like to come to the theatre a couple of times a year if we can to see the RSC. Could not miss the opportunity to see All's well that ends well. It's not performed that often. We have stayed in this hotel several times with mixed feelings. We have had great stays and some not so good. This time it was good. It was busy due to several corporate seminars being held at the same time. These seemed well organised and didn't affect our stay. We had booked breakfast for both days. The first morning was busy for breakfast but we where promptly sat at a very nice table overlooking the gardens. It is a full buffy service which was very good. Our waitress Clair was exceptional attentive and very pleasant. This was not the case on the following morning. We again had the table overlooking the garden. Claire the previous day had asked if we would like anything cooked from the kitchen. Boiled or pouched eggs omelette etc. This morning I had to find someone to take my order. I will not name her but, all she had to say was I'll be over in a minute. She came next to our table and set it for the next guests. Ignored us completely. After some time I spoke with a senior member of staff who didn't seem to acknowledge what I was saying, only telling a waiter to get me a pouched egg. Not the best experience I have had at the Crown Plaza. But all's well that ends well.

We stayed there two nights and there were 4 of us thus two, Deluxe rooms were booked. Absolutely nothing, except the size, was anywhere near Deluxe. The seats of the bar chairs were stained badly. The fridge in the room was empty, not even a bottle of water. When I asked if they had forgotten to fill it, the receptionist, totally disinterested, answered that they didn’t do that anymore and if we wanted a bottle of water, we had to ask for it at the reception. It was free but only on request. The second day we returned from a long day out to find the room and bed not made up and the bathroom exactly as we had left it.. again at the reception, where I was told that that also was only on request. We have stayed in very many hotels this and also in past years but this was just totally at the bottom of the list even though it was one of the most expensive. €1,000 for two nights. There were no lights on the dark path around the hotel.All in all a discrace all round for any hotel, not to mind a, so called luxury hotel… terrible. Booking.com only mentions our favorable comments and that were ..Good beds and pillows and perfect location. Had I read any of the more honest reactions, I would never have chosen this hotel. Hospitality was totally lacking, just as the honesty on the Booking.com site. Sad after many years of loyal use and satisfaction.. very disappointed this year !

This hotel is well suited to the old phrase ‘fur coat, no knickers’. The main reception rooms are beautiful, but the actual accommodation leaves a lot to be desired. £229 felt like a huge sum of money for a random night in October, in a tatty room, with stains on the walls, chipped paint work that in places was more chip than paint, blackened grout in the bathroom, 1950s metal & single glazed prefab style windows and a door which looked as if it had been bust open at some point (nothing like making your guests feel safe). Also deciding to give the spa a swerve, on the basis that a quick look didn’t inspire much confidence, we were truly disappointed with this hotel & would not recommend it to anyone based on our experience. The stay was supposed to be a treat, but the decor is in dire need of a serious face lift. Interestingly, the person who checked us out did not ask if everything was satisfactory, or if we had enjoyed our stay. It was as if she knew it was a total rip off. For somewhere which oozes polished antique charm in its public rooms, Alveston Manor seemed somewhat hypocritical and grossly over-priced behind the scenes.

We stayed here 3 weeks ago and wanted to bring friends from Scotland to visit Stratford this last weekend, but unfortunately the Arden was fully booked. We came for dinner, as we knew how good it had been when we were guests. All I can say is fabulous! The restaurant & bar staff were all so pleasant & attentive. Alex was one of our waiters and has to be one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met - he read that our group had a sense of humour & made us all giggle. He’s a massive credit. The food was just ace, and I definitely recommend the scallops to start, and the Ribeye. We’ll definitely be back, thanks all 🙂

The appearance of the hotel is not good, opposite the new place of Shakespeare. After entering, people feel surprised and the front desk service is very good. This time, the first floor was opened and the balcony door was the garden. It felt great! Breakfast is also good, the restaurant in the hotel is also very good! The bathroom is very big, the downside is that the wet and dry function is not separated.
