Disliked: Amenities
there was no WiFi in my room. As i was hoping to work half days this was a very big issue for me. I was told they would fix it but not alternative was offered and it was not resovled before i left. Wifi was available in the pub during pub hours which wasn't when I needed to work and the environemnt was loud, wifi was slow and not conducive to working and no options in the town were offered. Also, many of the menu items in the pub were not available.

The accommodation had everything what I needed. Town centre, but quiet street, very close to the theatre. The room is nice and clean, and again had everything for overnight stay. My window was out to the back, so very quiet. Definitely will use again.

Room was newly decorated and clean. Plenty of coffee and tea sachets to go with kettle. Iron and ironing board provided plus toiletries. Old building so for those with mobility issues, would recommend room 7 on ground floor. Personally, myself and my wife had difficulty with uneven staircase, especially with a case. Staff pleasant and food very good.

Do not stay here.

We were the only guests in the place. I understand why. Looked like mold in the shower. Awful smell. Big bright green exit sign INSIDE our room. Street level window with a broken lock. Straight curtain on a bow window. A fan that was so filthy it the fan intake was caked with dirt. Etc., etc., etc.

**NO PARKING* *NO PARKING** Very loud music until the pub below closed at 11pm The floor in the bathroom was extremely dirty and the whole bathroom smelled of drains, which seeped into the room. The room was still under construction with bare render on the ceiling, no lampshades. The main door did not lock properly and could be pushed open easily, very unsafe! In need of new pillows and a better detergent, the bedding was smelly. This property does not have parking

Enticingly advertises itself as “Stratford’s Best Kept Secret” offering “luxury en-suite accommodation”. The reality is terrifyingly different. To reach the rooms you must pass through a pub, running a gauntlet of drunks to reach a rear yard full of smokers, over flowing ashtrays and bins. The listing showed the yard with a fire pit and rattan furniture. None of this was present. The accommodation lobby area houses a builder’s sack full of lime plaster and abandoned furniture. The stairs and handrail to upstairs were filthy and worn. The room smelled musty. The furniture was dirty and dusty and the side of the bed stained. The shower was encrusted with black mould. The last occupant’s half used shower gel bottle was left. The disgusting view from our room included a flat roof complete with soiled linen and abandoned plastic trunking. What followed made things worse. The pub was blasting music until 12:30 am. Do consider stay here if lying in bed and hearing a downstairs sing along to “Is this the way to Amarillo” at just gone midnight is your thing. The floor of the room vibrated from the excessive noise levels. When the music stopped it was replaced with the sounds of bawling drunks hurling abusive language around, and the sound of glass bottle bins being emptied. We live too far from Stratford to have left early, so had to stay. My wife was left in tears and our daughter described it as the most frightening place she has ever stayed.

Terrible experience

Travelled from Telford to celebrate our 25th anniversary, Went to check in, no knowledge of any booking! Being a bank holiday weekend there was no where else to stay unless we were willing to pay £350+ for one night, although Trevor tried to get us somewhere else to stay but with no avail.

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. I would have given it zero stars if I could. Scary, old, mouldy, horrid. We left without staying and found a different hotel.

Refurb Required

Stayed in room 7 for 1 night. Location is excellent & close to everything. Room needs investment & cleaning standards simply aren't good enough. See photos of mould in the bathroom & shower. Shower mixer tap was broken so had to fetch the manager to adjust it. New bathroom urgently needed. At £80 room only it isn't worth the money as only hostal standard. Great location though so investment could really help.

Great location and comfy clean room

Very convenient in the middle of Stratford Upon Avon. 10min easy walk from train station. Friendly staff. Comfy room and bed. Stairs are steep so if you have mobility restrictions could be a little awkward but not many steps and I had no issue with it. Some noise in the morning around 7.30am with keg delivery for the pub downstairs which woke me but if you're an early riser that wouldn't be an issue and was niyand peaceful the rest of the time. Overall an excellent stay and I'll be back!
