What an amazing Hotel. We stayed for 3 nights and were extremely impressed with everything linked to the Hotel. We took advantage of the car parking facilities and found them extremely useful. Checking In and Out were simple and the Reception Staff were excellent. We stayed B&B and ate in the Hotel restaurant on two occasions. The food was delicious. All together a fantastic Hotel situated in a beautiful location. Thank you.

If you're visiting the RSC then there really is no better hotel; across the road from the main entrance and just down the road from the Dirty Duck. Along with the ideal location, the service is of a high standard and rooms very well appointed (air conditioning, comfortable bed, safe, and large bathroom).
We enjoyed breakfast both mornings (there were no problems at all in accommodating small additions to the standard menu) and an excellent a la carte meal one evening. We really couldn't fault any element of our stay and highly recommend you pay the Arden and their wonderful team a visit.

Stayed overnight to watch The Tempest. So convenient to the RSC. Staff were amazing especially Alysha.
Our room was the Alder , deluxe huge room with huge bed. Really comfortable little treats as well as the norm tea coffee etc. Milk and water in the fridge. Cool enough air con perfect. Food was gorgeous dinner and breakfast. No complaints there and I’m a fussy eater. Hotel is very quiet and relaxing especially the Temple Spa toiletries which I would defo go back for.😂
As reviews have mentioned it is a little dated, lights in the bathroom could be a little brighter, perhaps some furniture could do with an update as well as some walls requiring a lick of paint, but to be honest , it was so clean , staff so friendly , lovely and quiet, heard the birds when I woke up, food amazing and a really comfortable night. I know what I would prefer , to have the latter than perfect paint on the walls.

What a lucky, last-minute find! Wow! So sad we were only there for 1 night!

Amazingly placed hotel for Stratford. Walking distance to all amenities and tourist attractions.

All of the staff, from the cleaner, waiting staff (slender, small, long dark haired young lady, very sweet, didn't catch her name sadly, that looked after us for dinner), Receptionists (day and evening) and the Manager, were ALL so helpful and friendly.

We had a problem with the shower in our room (cold water tap broken) so could not shower the night of our stay before dinner. We reported this en-route to dinner and, whilst eating, the Manager came to us to inform us he had made a temporary fix to it with tools which allowed us to shower later. He also assured us that he would get Maintenance involved after our departure.

The atmosphere at this hotel is so relaxed and welcoming - I would not hesitate to recommend, and will DEFINITELY be staying again! 1 night was not long enough.

The room was huge, very comfortable and clean with lovely little touches like a fridge with water, fresh milk and snacks like popcorn, pretzels and biscuits! We looked out directly at the RSC Theatre also! Our daughter slept on the sofa bed and practically had a room to herself, with her own TV too. There were also apples and a fruit knife for us to eat! Not had THAT before!

Breakfast was also lovely - fresh cooked to order - beautiful poached eggs! Plenty of choice.

Thank you for a lovely stay! We WILL be back!

Onsite private parking. The Arden is a very attractive hotel overlooking the RSC. The hotel is light and airy. Lovely warm welcome. The receptionist took us to our room, I can’t remember the last time we were shown to a room. We liked the decor of the hotel and the room. The room was large with a superking bed, en-suite bathroom with shower and bath, and a dressing room. Very quiet neighbourhood. Picturesque gardens. We particularly enjoyed the champagne bar.

From The Arden most attractions in Stratford are within a short walk. It’s a very pretty town with lots to see and, every time we have been at least, street performers by the river.

All in all, a glorious short break.

Stay was very nice although really disliked that dogs were allowed in the property. When we arrived there was a dog doing its business at the entrance to the reception, there was a dog in the dining area when we were having breakfast one morning and we could here a dog barking constantly from a room down the hall. It is not ideal and unhygienic. Also the rooms were extremely warm! Staff friendly and breakfast was lovely.

Nice hotel and really attentive staff.
Room was spacious and well appointed albeit tired and in need of updating, as well as a little dusty in places and the fruit had clearly been there several days or longer….
That said the facilities were good, it’s really well located and lots to do nearby.
Just check when booking that it includes breakfast and parking - these were 2 primary reasons for choosing this venue over others and both the hotel tried to charge us for - this was resolved but only after producing my original booking with hotels.com
Would I return? Yes - the staff were extremely pleasant.

It was kind of a weird stay in all honesty. The room we’d requested (2 beds) was not what we were given. So showed us 2 other options, one which felt like a subterranean/basement room- the other ( which we ended up with ) was uncomfortably warm ( we ended up opening a window even though it was 8 degrees. They sent someone to separate and make the beds into twin and a (ugh) random fake nail was left on the side table (kinda gross) . Maybe the housekeeper found it on the ground and thought it was ours? It wasn’t. The hotel room had a funky smell to it ( the restaurant also did) . It’s quite a maze to navigate. Staff were friendly although the night we checked one of the ladies at reception desk was clearly very unwell and coughing and sniffing and blowing her nose frequently which was a little off putting. I saw her working in the dining room the following evening so we skipped the restaurant entirely. We weren’t told that you need a token to exit the parking lot ( if you have a car I’d suggest asking in advance) so that would have been helpful to know before getting in the car, and attempting to drive out. Beds were comfy. Overall fairly clean room ( carpets could use a refresh) Mostly quiet ( aside from some strange loud plumbing/utility room noise) The reception is very modern but the rooms are quite dated. You can’t beat the location - short walks to everything. The pub next door has amazing food and atmosphere. Wouldn’t stay again as we left pretty unimpressed.

The room was everything we needed for a night in Stratford Upon Avon. The hotel is central and walking distance of dining, shops and attractions. The reception welcomed us and showed us directly to our room which was a nice touch. Staff were very nice. The rooms are spacious although a little creaky. We could hear the guests above us walking around of an evening and morning. Bed and bedding very comfortable and overall we enjoyed our stay with the best part being the convenience of location. Thank you.

The original room we had was lovely - however, we had an issue with the tap in the bathroom and we were quickly assigned another room which wasn't quite as large but still really nice - the receptionist then offered us the choice of two other rooms for the second night of our stay - we chose the larger of the two and was not disappointed. The room was absolutely lovely. We would like to praise the staff for their reactive response to the initial issue that we had - these things happen and it the response and customer care we received was excellent.
The hotel itself is lovely, very well situated and breakfast was also excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Room was unique, bathtub was amazing. The hotel was extremely close to the other place and RSC, which we truly loved. For those who have mobility issues you may want to enquire 1st before making the booking as there where a lot of different levels.
My only complaint is that the complimentary wine was terrible and really was not worth the lovely glasses that we had with it.

Loved our stay at The Arden. Dead opposite the RSC and just a couple of minutes from The Other Place where we went to ser MacBeth. Room was huge (superior room), great air con, a great and powerful shower and with nice tea, coffee and snacks.
Only one poor thing was the breakfast. We paid 20 pounds each for a full english. My scrambled egg was sat in a pool of uncooked egg and the sausage was pretty tasteless. Recommend walking down the road to visit plenty of good cafes serving breakfast for half the price.

Very good sized room, quiet and comfortable, and with a well appointed bathroom. Some nice extra touches in the room etc. Very good cooked breakfast options. I would definitely stay here again if/when I return to the area.

Great location with very great employees and restaurant. The room, bed and shower were great. The facility is a little worn out, it’ll need an update for esthetics only. I would stay there again.

Sadly disappointed with the 214 pounds per room we paid
Not so clean rooms; hot water faulty; room condition not good for a luxury hotel.

Stratford - September 2025

Staff very friendly, courteous and helpful from the front desk, bar/restaurant to the service staff.
Excellent location directly opposite the RSC and close to the others plus Waterside, shops and Old Town.

The buildings are old and floors are a bit creaky, but the rooms were a good size, clean, very convenient and well-located just across the street from thr RSC Theater and an easy walk to all the Stratford-upon-Avon tourist sites and shopping. There's also a private parking lot. The breakfast is also very good. This is our 2nd time staying here for a visit to Shakespeare's Birthplace.

Wonderful location directly across the road from The Globe theatre. Dissapointed by the discretionary surcharge automatically applied on check out. This does seem to be becoming the norm in the UK.

The Arden held the charm of my 10-day trip. It is located across the street from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I stayed in a Deluxe room with an incredible bathroom! It had a huge tub and dual rain-showers. It appeared newly renovated. Breakfast was both a la carte and buffet. Dinner was a nice atmosphere, inside and outside. I think the most delight was created by the staff, specifically the hotel manager Sai who was so kind and attentive.

Great location for RSC Theatre

We have stayed many times over the years. The hotel is very central - a very short walk to the river, shops, and other sights in Stratford.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Staff friendly. Decor has been “touched up” after our last stay - but still some maintenance issues: a light not working in the bathroom and curtains coming off the rail.
The restaurant is excellent and offers a pre-theatre dinner to get to the performance on time. There is a secure car park at the back of the hotel.
Overall a pleasant, quiet, comfortable and convenient place to stay in the centre of Stratford.

It is a beautiful, historic building across the street from the Swan and Royal Shakespeare Theatres and next door to an historic pub. Everything is walkable in Stratford. We took a great walking tour from the beautiful park that included the church Shakespeare attended and is buried in. One note, there is no elevator in the hotel and our room was on the 3rd floor. They had very nice young people carry our bags up and down for us, but be aware! Very pleasant and accommodating staff, good food--we had breakfast there and also had a lunch there on the first day. Friendly people. Loved it and will definitely stay there again next time we're in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Reasonably priced, high class hotel.

Surprising high class hotel compered with the reasonably priced stay.
The best was the room air conditioning, when it was 34°c outside.

The location is great and (directly opposite The Swan Theatre) and the aircon works brilliantly (a much needed bonus on a hot sunny day), but the hotel decor is tired and I declined to pay the suggested 60% (yes 60%) service charge because I waited soooo long for someone to appear at the bar. I would only repeat if visiting The Swan Theatre.

We always stay at the Arden when visiting Stratford. Lovely staff and always a pleasant stay.

However our trip this time was overshadowed by the double wedding which was occurring during our stay. It would have been nice to be told upon arrival that there were two weddings and access to the downstairs amenities and outdoor patio were limited. In future, for myself and future guests, please make sure that you inform of weddings taking place at the hotel, as I would pick another weekend.
