"All round a great hotel if stopping in Stratford-upon-Avon"

The hotel itself is in a beautiful location. We had a room with a river view and could watch as canal boats went through the key and the swans swimming. There's a McDonald's right nextdoor, and despite the constant stream of cars, we never noticed the noise. The town centre isn't far, and there's a shopping complex aswell. In the evening we went for a walk along the canal. The hotel room was clean and to standard, the bedding was soft. The only issue we had was the extractor fan in the bathroom was fairly loud and would always be on if the lights to the bathroom was on. The staff were lovely and I personally did not hear any disturbance and my Fiancé only heard a couple footsteps above. All on all, a clean and nice hotel

"Good value"

Second time staying here, the first time we had a room overlooking the canal which was lovely, this time we overlooked the parking area, not quite as lovely! As we were only here for a night it really didn't matter. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Tea/coffee making facilities in room and reception gave us more coffee and milk when asked. Hairdryer in room and plenty of electrical sockets. The bathroom was also spacious but the air vent was so noisy that we couldn't put the light on at night as it would wake the other person and likely next door too! It also affected the 'relaxing bath' I had, lying in the bath listening to the constant thudding sound. We had a full English breakfast which was well cooked, due to covid restrictions, breakfast was brought to us and the staff were amazing, professional and efficient, they all worked hard in the restaurant and gave excellent service. The reception staff too were friendly and professional. All in all very good value for the price we paid and in a good central location, literally 4-5 minute walk from centre. We paid £5 to park which we were happy with. Well worth a visit

"COVID rules flaunted"

This is a good hotel, only let down by careless attitudes. We thought on arrival there were good guidelines and rules in place to provide a safe environment for all, in particular that we were asked to wear face coverings in communal areas. However, at breakfast the staff were not wearing masks whilst reaching over us providing an anomaly, and when in the lift, a member of staff came into the lift and was not wearing a mask, although we had been asked to wear face covering. He should have stayed out of the lift as the 2M rule still applies, and waited until it was empty. Disappointed -this is really my only gripe, as the room was clean and it’s location is great for visiting the town. Premier Inn need to instruct their staff, it’s not only their safety that’s important here, but paying guests too!

"Excellent hotel "

Lovely hotel, staff and location. And for £35 for overnight stay for family of three you can’t go wrong. Parking just outside hotel will cost you £5 for 24hrs. Lovely room with views of river, comfortable beds gave three of us good nights sleep. Would definitely book here again. Highly recommend

"Awful stay, never again!"

Before booking I checked with the hotel regarding meals and was advised they could not confirm as I was booking over a month in advance. Was told I would be able to book food nearer the time. Arriving early I asked at reception about booking food and was told no evening meals, I asked about booking breakfast and was told check in at 3. I explained several times I know I cannot check in but could I book breakfast, just to be told twice more check in at 3? Having given up we left and returned later to check in to then be told no breakfast slots due to demand on 50% offer apart from 07:00 and 11:00. On the night there was a lot of noise from surrounding rooms so having gotten past 10:30 we went to complain to reception as my daughter had not yet gone to sleep. When we explained it had been going on for ages we were told that they do patrols and not heard anything making us out to be liars! Awful service, staff not interested at all in customers in my experience, first and last time for us.

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.
