Relaxed ambience pricey drinks
Stayed on new Years Eve, drinks expensive and rooms overpriced.
All about the location and food.
Booked due to the location next to the RSC. As we were watching a performance. Ideal car parking in the middle of Stratford and being able to walk a couple of minutes to the RSC. The staff were pleasant enough and the food in the restaurant was very good. Now the bad news. The hotel is a bit dated. Public areas could do with some paint and some love. The room was OK in space and facilities. The bed not that comfy and again very the room was very dated. The bathroom ceiling paint was peeling. Damage from door handles in the wall that had not been repaired and rust in the bath where it's just old. So it needs a bit of a refresh.
I would only stay here again due to the convenience of it's location and quality of food served in the restaurant.
Rather disappointing
Although we were left chocolates in our room for my friends birthday this is where I feel the customer service ended. The staff didn t seem to know what package we were on - our welcome drink wasn t provided to us until we asked even though I had sent a specific email. The restaurant staff weren t very helpful or knowledgeable- we changed our reservation from 8 to 8.30 wouldn t have done this if we d known it closed at 9 - very rushed and spoilt our evening. Reception staff not very helpful when requesting to find our gin tasting - wasn t informed of code to get out of car park so had to park car and return to reception- basic things really. Would not choose to return - a very disappointing experience- such a pity as it was a special occasion.
