Don’t

Photos on Hotels.com deceiving. We were not expecting deluxe accommodations but bathroom shower mold and mildew. Room was on ground level with a window on the street without security bars so I’d window was opened anyone could climb in. Being summer we needed ventilation as there was no AC. Fan provided was inadequate and filthy. This was more like a youth hostel than “luxury accommodation “ quoted on their sign.

I know it's a 500 year old inn, and that explains a lot of its quirks. But large amounts of black mold in every corner of the shower upon checking in isn't related to the building age. Some shower spray would help that. And there's WiFi, but we couldn't access it from inside our room for more than a few seconds at a time. I wouldn't stay again. At least it was pretty cheap.

As a solo traveller for 1 night, it was ok for the price . I was in a single room which was clean with all that I required. My main concern was the noise from outside ( nothing to do with The Queens Head or customers ) . I was in room 5 at the back of the building which adjoins the Bellcourt entertainment complex and it was quite noisy at times throughout the night .

On entering you see a good bar and eating area (kitchen was closed during our stay) but the location near the end of the High Street put many of the towns other pubs and eateries close to the hotel. Car parking was at the NCP just around the back. As to be expected in such an old building, it had many quirky features, but the room had everything we needed and we got a few good nights sleep.

The room and especially the bathroom needs refurbishing. The staff is friendly and very helpful, really can’t fault them. Hotel in a fantastic location, just a short walk to anywhere you want to go.

Basic, mouldy bathroom, but good service

Room itself was comfortable and service was friendly, helpful and efficient. However the room and bathroom could have been cleaner, and there was quite a lot of mould in the bathroom. The mould might be old staining rather than active, but it's not a good look!

I will say that the staff were kind, the hot water worked, and the sheets & towels seemed clean, but the rest of the room/premises were filthy. The kitchen was never open, the carpet was thin & scratchy, and didn’t seem to have been replaced or cleaned since the 1970s, the toilet seat was crooked, and the stall shower in my room had a shocking amount of black mold. The pictures of the patio furniture were inaccurate. They had old wooden picnic benches with overflowing ashtrays. I don’t mind old or small, but this was unhygienic.

beautiful house in historical town-centre

Excellent accommodation, just a few minutes away from the station. It's in the historical centre of this beautiful town. The room was clean and check-in and cash payment was easily done. I'd book it again next time I'll go to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Fair price for a quick visit

We went to Strafford Upon Avon for a couple of days to explore around spending most of time outside. The room was very simple and but with some tea and coffee available. The heating went off in the evening but we called the reception and they turned it on again (the room was freezing). The hot water wasnt that hot and the shower was a bit difficult due the low temperatures. The tiles in the shower had some black spots but it was ok. The Hotel is walking distance to the high street and best places to visit. Easy checkin and checkout.

DO NOT STAY HERE

VERY dated room with no effort to make it make the room feel like a hotel room. No heating, no lock on the bathroom door, mould in the bathroom and around the window, kettle just plonked on the floor with wires everywhere. Handwritten notices all over the room. Extremely loud pub/club noises until 4am. Dirty sheets. Do not stay here

Basic but clean

This was a cheap room in centre of Stratford so you obviously get what you pay for as Stratford accommodation is not cheap. It was v basic clean accommodation in a very old pub - don’t expect anything more than that and was fine for one night.
