"Waterways Hotel, Stratford Upon Avon."

Always a pleasure to visit Stratford, and likewise to stay at the Waterways Hotel, when we do get the chance to return. It's a friendly, well situated hotel - on the canal - very pleasant, and there's a large car park, (cheaper for residents!) which means we can just lock the car up and forget it, for a day or so in the town and by the river. The hotel staff are always helpful, its the first choice for us when the opportunity arises. Well recommended.

"A nice hotel and good location but don't bother trying to eat in the restaurant"

We arrived at around 6pm with two children (aged 2 and 4). After checking in, because it was so cold and a bit late we thought we would just eat in the restaurant on site so arrived at the restaurant only to be told that if we hadn't booked, the earliest table available was at 8pm. We pointed out that there were only about 6 people in the restaurant at this time but apparently it was going to be busy soon and there was nothing we could do. Obviously with two tired children, we couldn't wait until 8pm so walked back into town to find somewhere else. On returning to the hotel, we saw that the restaurant still only had a few people in it. I don't know what the processes around taking bookings for your restaurant but as it stands, it isn't really acceptable to have an almost empty restaurant and to turn away a young family. Perhaps some better training of your staff to explain better why the restaurant is empty but they are not able to accept any more customers or some offers of help as to where we could go instead would at least be a start. Or perhaps being a bit flexible and allowing us to come in for a quick meal if you desperately need a table back. Anything would have been better with the situation we were left in. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed the location of the hotel (although a 10 minute walk to the centre) but unfortunately this experience on arrival really put us off.

"Excellent stay."

I visit this Premier Inn twice each year. Everything about the service and quality of my stay ensures I don’t look elsewhere, simply re-book. Staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The availability of the bar in the evening gives a space to chat after a theatre visit and to plan the next day.

"The worst premier in I have stayed in."

I have used premier inns loads of times and have always been pretty impressed. You get what you pay for. I'm not under the illusion that they are anything other than standard but I've never felt the need to complain. This hotel was totally under staffed. The reception staff were also running the bar and running around the place. It just all seemed really chaotic and was noticable straight away. We had booked a meal deal but changed our mind due to the lack of staff and general atmosphere, or rather the lack of it, in the bar / restaurant. When I spoke to the staff about it they told me they couldnt complete the refund as the supervisor card wasnt working but a blonde haired manager said that she would write it down process it in the next 7 days. A month on and I still am waiting for my refund. If it's just a room and a bed your after then if you manage to get a cheap room you might be ok but dont expect anything from the bar or restaurant and definately dont purchase the meal deal! I wish I'd have paid more and gone back to The White Swan which we stayed in last year and was amazing and had a much more pleasurable experience.

Hotel description This canalside haven is away from the town's hustle and bustle, but near enough to dip in and out of the history and culture as you please. Perfect for a relaxing break in the centre of Shakespeare country. Discover the drama of the Bard's life and works, take a boat trip on the Avon, or immerse yourself in the past at the magnificent Warwick Castle. Whatever your day holds, refresh and relax in our stylish restaurant and super comfortable beds.
