We enjoyed our stay , very relaxing .

On this visit to Stratford-upon-Avon we saw a show at the RSC, it was brilliant. The Arden sits opposite the RSC and very close to town so its ideally situated. We are never disappointed.

Loved the bedroom with a huge bathroom

By Colin Jul ’22 Trip Type Couple

We had a lovely stay at The Arden, as usual the welcome was warm and efficient. The room was perfect, as was the breakfast. We felt the food in the Dining Room and the menu were much better than on previous visits. There is plenty of parking which is always a bonus.

We chose the Arden because of the location opposite ~RSC as we had a double header. The service was impecable and Jack at the front desk looked after every need. Rooms are well appointed and offer all that is needed . We will definitley stay there again on our next visit to Stratford. Highly recommeRead more[SPLIT]Read lessnded.

This is our second stay this year and is ideally suited as we come to Stratford for the theatre. Now that the RSC has reopened the main house we are catching up with some plays, the most recent postponed from December 2020. The Arden is ideally suited for us just opposite the theatre but also close Read more[SPLIT]Read lessto the shopping along the High Street, Bridge Street and surrounding area. There are also good walks along the river and the canal. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room comfortable although it would have benefited from more shelf or draw space, it had a spacious and well-appointed bathroom with separate walk-in shower which we appreciated. We will be visiting again later in the year.

Dispite internal renovations all went as smoth as it should.

Great to be back in Stratford and at The Arden. We were there for a theatre visit and to visit friends in the area. The Arden was a haven, staff welcoming and helpful. Have already booked a return visit.

Having stayed here many times pre-Covid, it was reassuring to see that the service style and quality offered by the Arden are still very much in evidence. I have always enjoyed dining in the restaurant, and the quality of the food offer is still excellent. The only downside was that the restaurant Read more[SPLIT]Read lessis closed from Sunday evening to Tuesday - not great when you stay Sunday night. But breakfast is still available and just as good as ever! The room we had was very comfortable, and Covid cleaning processes were observed. All round, as good as ever

despite COVID restrictions, the hotel was welcoming with pleasant service

By Vivienne Sep ’20 Trip Type Couple

The room, the Redwood, has a partial view of the river. There is little soundproofing so we did hear our neighbours. Also the cold tap came out warm. The shower temperature changed at whim. Breakfast was very good indeed. The bed is fabulous. Staff are helpful, and especially the operations manager. Read more[SPLIT]Read less Covid interfered with the full enjoyment of our break. A one way system and no room cleaning for a three night stay.

Very peaceful and relaxing!

I always stay at the Arden when I need to be in Stratford overnight. The staff are always very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I like having room service breakfast, an amazing choice of items can be had, and the fresh orange juice is wonderful. Great to have free parking as a resident, and Read more[SPLIT]Read lessit's opposite the theatre. If I'm having a night in, the DVD player is appreciated. I have stayed in a lot of the rooms over the past few years, and they are all very comfortable and I have a brilliant night's sleep, good that the rooms are all so individual. I would just like to see the return of the pre-theatre menu, which used to be great, a tasting menu is not so good for an individual guest.

i always stay at the Arden if I am in Stratford overnight, and always receive a very warm welcome from all of the team. The rooms are a good size and very comfortable, and I never fail to have a great night's sleep. I love having breakfast in my room, and can choose from the exactly the same choices Read more[SPLIT]Read lessthat are available in the restaurant. Brilliant for going to the theatre as it is directly across the road.

I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions over the past 3 years, always just one or two nights, and the service and accommodation are both superb and cannot be faulted. I am always made very welcome by all the staff, who remember my name. Even the more basic rooms are a good size and a touch Read more[SPLIT]Read lessof luxury, and the beds are always so comfortable. There are comfortable chairs to watch the good-sized TV from, and a DVD player is included too. I always have room service breakfast, and am offered exactly the same choices as in the restaurant. All food is freshly cooked, which is why I have room service as it is faster for my needs. There is fresh milk in the fridge, rather than long-life, and good quality biscuits and fresh fruit. It is great having a good hotel this close to the centre of town (as well as being opposite the RSC theatre) that offers free parking for residents. My only small criticism is that the affordable options in the restaurant for dinner are now part of a tasting menu, not quite so practical for a solo diner. I used to love the 3-course set menu, especially if I was going out to the theatre.

Stratford Upon Avon is I perfect place for a relaxing weekend away. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Gorgeous walks along the Avon River. A Shakespearean play at the playhouse.

Getting an upgrade

By Graham Nov ’18 Trip Type Couple

I have been staying at the Arden Hotel when on business in Stratford for a couple of years, and would not stay anywhere else. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient and I always feel like a very valued guest, nothing is too much trouble for them. On my recent visit I had room service dinner on Read more[SPLIT]Read lessone night and ate in the restaurant for the other night. - both were excellent and a very reasonable price. Even the wine list is reasonable for a hotel of this standard. The rooms are all different and I have sampled a good number in the past couple of years, and they have all been a very high standard. I always have room service breakfast which is brilliant, with a choice of full English or something a bit lighter.

Lovely view from our room but would prefer a walk in shower. Who needs a huge bath nowadays.

By Linda Oct ’18 Trip Type Friends

Room upgrade to Feature rooms which were magnificaent.
