A rail in the shower is essential
I was very nervous using the spacious shower as there was no safety rail. Didn't see the tiny sign that said you needed to request one. Otherwise the room was excellent.
To Sleep, Perchance to Dream ....
We booked a Special Offer for two nights, in a Superior Room with Breakfast and a 50 allowance (per couple) for an evening meal. We also had tickets to visit any 3 of 5 Shakespeare related houses.
The hotel was easy to find, had good secure parking and we were warmly received. Our room was called Magnolia and looked out onto a side street where (unfortunately) building work was being undertaken. However it was not noisy or dusty and didn't disturb us at all.
The room was warm and the Air Con would not move below 18 deg and so the room was always too warm! I would not describe the room as 'Superior'. Yes it had dressing gowns and six pillows and 4 cushions on the bed - don't know what we are supposed to do with them at night - but it wasn't big or indeed overly comfortable. It was adequate.
Location of the hotel is superb, in the centre of town, RSC Theatre opposite and the River Avon over the road. The City Tour Bus stops outside the hotel as well. Brilliant location and a pretty hotel.
The Breakfast was very good. Plenty of choice and the cooked breakfast was a great choice. Dinner was equally good, nothing fancy but everything cooked and presented very well.
We had an issue with a curtain track that was falling down and hanging on by a single bracket. It wouldn't close properly and so let in early morning light from about 04.00. The housekeeper was very aware of it and although we reported it to Reception it wasn't dealt with and nobody gave us an explanation why.
Apart from that it was a very satisfactory stay and we would heartily recommend The Arden Hotel.
Stratford upon Avon is a lovely place to visit and the hotel just adds to the enjoyment.
Great place to say
The Arden is a lovely hotel. It s very comfortable. The rooms are well designed with lovely furnishings. Great to have a walk in shower when so many hotels don t do them anymore. The restaurant is very good although the menu is not as good as it used to be. The breakfast was excellent. Good service in the hotel. The location is absolutely perfect for a visit to the theatre. Tickets to the Shakespeare museums was also a bonus.
