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.

Room was basic but okay, even if quite a trek from Reception. Breakfast was very poor - tepid coffee, cold croissants with no butter (until we asked), and charged meals were small and ordinary.

I have a very good stay at the Arden Hotel. It is in the perfect location across from the Royal Shakespeare Theater. The rooms are clean, spacious and we had a fantastic view. The food was very good. We were running late and called to change the time of our reservation. They were very accommodating. I definitely recommend the hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The room was lovely and clean, a couple of things needed repair (toilet roll holder hanging off the wall) but otherwise the whole stay was perfect! Staff were friendly, cleaners were lovely, the food was great and the bed was super comfy! We will definitely be booking with them again!
