The rooms that were offered as part of the booking were in poor condition. The doors leading into the bedrooms looked like there had been cases and baggage banged again them as they were all badly scuffed and scratched and needed painting. As the first thing you see when entering the room it did fill us with much confidence. The room was basic and not upgraded and the bottom of the bath was not in a good state and condition. Luxury hotel does not really match what was on offer. Would have had the same kind of room at the Premier Inn for a lot less money. Very disappointed.
shakespearian break
The Arden hotel is ideally placed for visiting the theatres and places of interest. The staff were all friendly and very helpful over the problems we had. Our room was comfortable but the thermostat control of the bathroom water taps did not function properly. Breakfast and afterrnoon tea were excellent but I had to send back my evening dinner main course of fish pie on the only evening we dined. Overall, we enjoyed our break but I would not recommend this hotel for anybody with mobility issues because of the many steps to reach the various levels.
Relaxed stay
It was our second visit and to be honest a bit disappointing. Staff were not very welcoming and on two occasions questioned my booking. The food was OK but not as good as I would expect the price, two puddings on the menu weren't available. The room was tired and in need of upgrading, rust in the bath and side panel damaged.
