"Great location but.."

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in August. Great location and that would probably be the only reason i would stay again if i didnt have other options... when we arrived at 15:30 our room wasnt ready. We didnt have to wait too long but after 3 hr drive with small kids it wasnt ideal when check is guaranteed at 14:00... check in was LONG maybe because they were trying to buy time. When we finally received our keys we went to the room to find a dirty nappy in the toilet bin :/ reported to reception and WE WERE ASKED to take it outside of our room - DISGUSTING! Breakfast was horrible on first morning, but thankfully improved a lot the next two mornings. Staff at breakfast very unorganised everyone was doing everything rather then them having dedicated roles meaning often we had to wait a long time or ask another staff member. On last morning someone who was i guess a Management came towards the end of breakfast on Thursday morning and started criticising the chef, taking photos etc it was quite sad to watch to be honest and really should have been done more discreetly... the biggest disadvantage was that the windows in the room wouldn't open and neither were we able to adjust air conditioner without calling reception... with all of us taking shower and no ventilation the air was very humid... overall had very mixed experience.

"Good visit"

We stayed for 2 nights, check in was great minimum contact. The rooms have many different split levels so was a bit difficult going up and down small staircases with a heavy pushchair but I had help so it was not a problem. The room was very nice and comfortable. Breakfast was really nice and service was great.

"Too much noise late a night"

Overall the experience was fine except for one thing: some kind of disturbing noise late into the night. It made sleeping almost impossible. I don't know if I just got unlucky with my room but often until 1am there was some kind if drainage noise which was a total nightmare. Also, although it states aricon it didn't seem to work in my room. They only way to get the room a little cooler was to phone reception.

"Very convenient for the town centre"

We really enjoyed our 2 nights staying at the premier inn. We used the recommended long stay car park that was a short walk away. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was lovely and we were able to choose a time that suited us (8:30). This premier on is on a great location: very close to the river and town centre. We will definitely return to use it as a base when the RSC theatre opens again. We were on the ground floor (room 7) and were able to exit the hotel through the rear of the property - via the disabled parking spaces - which made it easier for us able to navigate the building which did seem a bit of a maze! We slept very well. The bed was comfy and the room was quiet.

Hotel description Start your Stratford story at the heart of the historical old town, while staying bang up to date with our modern, spacious rooms, super-comfy beds and tasty restaurant. Follow in the footsteps of the Bard at Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's Cottage, see the drama come to life on stage, or go with the flow on the River Avon. Whatever you get up to out and about, we'll guarantee a great night's sleep - but we can't promise a Midsummer Night's Dream.
