Hotels near Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon

This is a well placed traditional hotel. It offers basic bedroom accommodation with ensuite. Food and drink is offered by way of an independently run ”Bistro”. We only had breakfast. The bar closed at 10pm (before we returned from the play so not available to us. Breakfast was a disappoin**ent by modern European standards and also compared with the average b&b. The breakfast options were variations on a cooked breakfast with toast and the possibility of croissants or alternative french type breakfast patisserie. Cereals were limited cornflakes or similar/ Coffee was served nicely and appeared to be (and was called ) Americano i.e. not quite strong enough for the espresso lover. There was no hot milk so coffee was essentially lukewarm and weak. Muesli or fruit were absent. The scrambled eggs were overcooked. The staff were friendly and helpful but appeared overworked. Brexit and lack of alternative staff clearly taking its toll. So many ways the breakfast experience could be improved. All this is a pity because the location and the reasonably priced parking make for an ideal spot.

Had a fabulous two night stay at The DoubleTree while working away from home. Staff very friendly and they couldn't do enough for their guests We didn't realise at the time of booking that breakfast was included, this was an added bonus, Great selection of both hot and cold food. The hotel is in a perfect location, just a short stroll to the pubs, restaurants in the centre. Will definitely return but for pleasure rather than business next time

The appearance of the hotel is not good, opposite the new place of Shakespeare. After entering, people feel surprised and the front desk service is very good. This time, the first floor was opened and the balcony door was the garden. It felt great! Breakfast is also good, the restaurant in the hotel is also very good! The bathroom is very big, the downside is that the wet and dry function is not separated.

This hotel is well suited to the old phrase ‘fur coat, no knickers’. The main reception rooms are beautiful, but the actual accommodation leaves a lot to be desired. £229 felt like a huge sum of money for a random night in October, in a tatty room, with stains on the walls, chipped paint work that in places was more chip than paint, blackened grout in the bathroom, 1950s metal & single glazed prefab style windows and a door which looked as if it had been bust open at some point (nothing like making your guests feel safe). Also deciding to give the spa a swerve, on the basis that a quick look didn’t inspire much confidence, we were truly disappointed with this hotel & would not recommend it to anyone based on our experience. The stay was supposed to be a treat, but the decor is in dire need of a serious face lift. Interestingly, the person who checked us out did not ask if everything was satisfactory, or if we had enjoyed our stay. It was as if she knew it was a total rip off. For somewhere which oozes polished antique charm in its public rooms, Alveston Manor seemed somewhat hypocritical and grossly over-priced behind the scenes.

The hotel is generally good and the staff are attentive, but we would suggest avoiding the restaurant.  The hotel doesn't warrant a 4* with areas showing wear and tear such as water-damaged wood, mouldy seal in the bathroom, broken window locks, etc.  Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we were given a drinks voucher. After being advised our room was ready, we arrived at the room to find the maid still cleaning the room. The room included basic tea and coffee facilities and toiletries.  The pool/spa is limited and has a cold pool, a steam room, a sauna, and a gym.  We had booked into the restaurant for an evening meal, but when we arrived there was a table complaining about the food. They had sent their food back to the kitchen twice, and the staff were suggesting they send it back again. They walked out of the restaurant. Based on this, we thought we would order something that was pretty safe, so we ordered a burger and a chicken. However, the meat tasted cheap and of poor quality. The restaurant is charging gastro prices, but the quality is nothing better than Wetherspoons or worse. Again, the puddings were basic, with a vegan coconut ice cream that had an odd texture to it and a sticky toffee pudding that was no better than a cheap microwave pud. In our opinion, the staff were inappropriately dressed, with one waitress having such a short skirt that every time she moved you got to see more than you wanted. The bar staff were assisting in the restaurant, and one barman was dressed in hip-style jeans, which kept falling down. Although all very attentive and polite, it seemed that the hotel as a whole had very limited staff, with everyone just mucking in.  The breakfast was not much better than our evening meal. We arrived at 9.30am to find the milk, pastries, hot water, etc. had run dry. There was a selection of hot food, but once again the meat tasted cheap. The main waitress was incredibly young and either didn't communicate or spoke so incredibly quietly that you could not hear what she said.  At check out, we were not asked how our stay had been, and we felt that everything was done to avoid such communication.

Excellent, spacious family room - bunks - with share bathroom. Perfect base for my adult daughter and I who were travelling the region together in a hire car. Beautiful Georgian mansion, with rooms and grounds to explore. I noted the pod (tiny home) and available glamping options only after arriving. Beds were comfortable, and staff were helpful (I even enjoyed the banter, ie being teased, about Australia's underperforming rugby union team). Would definitely stay here again, though may consider pod and glamping options which both look very exciting. Being a YHA the tariff was very reasonable, and the self-contained kitchen also assisted in this regard. Heaps off off street parking. Being located a few miles outside the bustle of Stratford-upon-Avon also proved advantageous.

It took 5 minutes to walk to the Shakespeare's house. It was a little hard to find a car. On a three-way road, parking was not very convenient. At that time, I found the parking lot for several rounds.

We stayed here as our car broke down on the way to our holiday. We were travelling with young children and a disabled person. The staff at this hotel couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was beyond outstanding. The children were upset and disappointed and they were fantastic with them. They really couldn’t do enough to help. Kasey was especially lovely. A credit to your company. The next time we are in the area we will absolutely stay here again! I should also note that the hotel was lovely and clean and we had plenty of space in our family room. The shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection and hot and delicious. The bar was open until 1am which was particularly useful for us given the circumstances! 🙈😂

The service was great! There was an error with room allocation and as the booked room was not available, we got upgraded to a suite which was wonderful as we were celebrating a special milestone birthday. The dinner at the Trevellyn Restaurant was beyond expectation as we were vegetarian and the vegetarian meal prepared by the chef was awesome. The hotel decor itself looked a little tired although it added to the authentic look of the listed building. It was a hot weekend during our stay and although there was no air conditioning, a small fan was provided which made a little difference when sleeping at night. The gardens needed some upkeep and it would have been lovely if the fountains had been working. Overall we did enjoy our stay and look forward to coming back again after it has gone through some upgrading and refurbishing.
