Don’t stay here

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. I would have given it zero stars if I could. Scary, old, mouldy, horrid. We left without staying and found a different hotel.

Refurb Required

Stayed in room 7 for 1 night. Location is excellent & close to everything. Room needs investment & cleaning standards simply aren't good enough. See photos of mould in the bathroom & shower. Shower mixer tap was broken so had to fetch the manager to adjust it. New bathroom urgently needed. At £80 room only it isn't worth the money as only hostal standard. Great location though so investment could really help.

Great location and comfy clean room

Very convenient in the middle of Stratford Upon Avon. 10min easy walk from train station. Friendly staff. Comfy room and bed. Stairs are steep so if you have mobility restrictions could be a little awkward but not many steps and I had no issue with it. Some noise in the morning around 7.30am with keg delivery for the pub downstairs which woke me but if you're an early riser that wouldn't be an issue and was niyand peaceful the rest of the time. Overall an excellent stay and I'll be back!

Tv did t work and no assistance given or option to change rooms even though we checked on line and hotel not full There is not parking on site, the picture of the beer garden is not accurate it was rather grubby. Internet access was good.

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.

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.
