The location is great and (directly opposite The Swan Theatre) and the aircon works brilliantly (a much needed bonus on a hot sunny day), but the hotel decor is tired and I declined to pay the suggested 60% (yes 60%) service charge because I waited soooo long for someone to appear at the bar. I would only repeat if visiting The Swan Theatre.

We always stay at the Arden when visiting Stratford. Lovely staff and always a pleasant stay. However our trip this time was overshadowed by the double wedding which was occurring during our stay. It would have been nice to be told upon arrival that there were two weddings and access to the downstairs amenities and outdoor patio were limited. In future, for myself and future guests, please make sure that you inform of weddings taking place at the hotel, as I would pick another weekend.

This is a large property that’s has been, lots of corridors and stairs, not suitable if you have a mobility issue. Location is excellent, garden area and parking excellent. Room we had was very quiet even though it overlooked the car park.
