Beautiful hotel - Amazing food

We had a wonderful stay at The Arden. Reception were friendly and helped with our bags. The room was amazing. We booked a Delux room and stayed in 'Pine'. We travelled with our little girl and she had her own bed in the room. There was plenty of room for the extra bed. Our bed was huge and very comfortable! The bathroom was amazing, I have never seen such a big bath!! We booked breakfast and dinner and I'm so pleased ww did. The food was outstanding! I am gluten free and they took great care over each meal. There were great choices for our little girl and she enjoyed the food too. Loads of choices for breakfast. I highly recommend staying here.

Warm welcome awaits at this lovely hotel.

A warm welcome from the friendliest receptionist (sorry we didn’t get her name). She looked after our bags while we had a delicious lunch in the brasserie. Our room was lovely - clean and spacious with a lovely bottle of wine. Toiletries in the bathroom were lovely quality although from an eco point of view a shame to see so much single use plastic. Breakfast was really good with a wide choice of fruits/cereals and pastries and a choice of hot food made to order. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay enhanced by every single member of staff being so warm and friendly. We will definitely stay with you again when we return to Stratford upon Avon.

Whilst I can say the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant the room was definitely not worth the money. Tired room, with filthy bed throw, frayed cushions and a mattress with dips, it definitely wasn’t worth the money. Breakfast was excellent though. Overall very disappointed. I did email the hotel directly with my issues though never heard anything back.

Exceeded Expectations

The customer service was spot on from start to finish. We stayed 2 nights on a last minute getaway and the hotel didnt disappoint. We went away for a little break after our engagement. The hotel left a little plate with a treat on wishing us "Congratulations" which was a really nice touch. The cleanliness of the room and hotel overall was really good. The only thing that was to fault was the amenities holder in the shower was broken and the shower waste was slightly discoloured. Those are the only things. The rooms are really spacious, the bed was massive. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again and even thinking of booking a stay as a gift for relatives. Thank you

Great location for theatre-goers

The Arden is a very comfortable hotel, conveniently situated just across the road from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Swan, and a two-minute walk from the Other Place. The staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful, going out of their way to meet our needs. The ground floor rooms are a bit dark, and the lighting is not ideal. Some of the carpets could do with a refresh.

Great place to stay for the theatre. Even tho there was a big wedding staff did best to make us welcome and comfortable and explain what was different. Spacious room and bathroom, good extras and a nice welcome bottle of wine (from Expedia/Hotels.com). Breakfast very comfortable and good selection, well cooked and prepared. Overall very good indeed.
