    Staff were very undrstanding

    "Booking online is usually risky, but Swan's Nest lived up to description of river views of Avon and being within walking distance of RSC Theatre and other Shakespeare sights. The outside view of Hotel , a touch of the Motel - belies its atmospheric interior which is rich in old world charm, with lovely bedrooms in period detail. Plenty of space and chairs and tables to gather friends in a panelled lobby and staff attentive to one's needs. You can relax there and make the place your own for your stay." (97238073)

    the old-world charm of The Swan's Nest is rare enoughm so should be savoured when found. We loved the room and its panelling, the bathroom was a pleasure, not least because of a bath big enough to take a reclining gentleman who likes to soak. The buffet in the lobby of a ready supply of soup, tea, coffee is appreciated by travellers who may not wish a full snack or meal and yet are 'peckish'. The grounds with proximity to river Avon are sheltered from traffic and yet within walking distance of everywere one might wish to stroll.

    "its only virtue is that it is close to the town centre, other than that it has little to recommend it. In the past three years having travelled extensively, I can only think of two hotels less welcoming, one in the west of China (Kashgar), the other in Trinidad de Cuba, Cuba." (97365578)

    Central to Stratford upon Avon

    The decor was dated and very tired, the room appeared to be in a sixties time warp, The surface of the bath was pealing. Furniture had handles missing, there was no welcome pack, remote control for TV.

    "It was unfortunate that having walked back from an evening theatre performance at the Shakespeare Theatre some 10 minutes away we found the hotel bar closed. This was so even though we were told that the hotel was full. Where was everyone?" (97017492)

    "The hotel provided all our requirements except for the lack of dining facilities. They were prepared to arrange reservations elsewhere but this information was not brought to our attention prior to booking. Some years ago I had frequently dined at the Swans ' Nest and had always enjoyed good meals and was disappointed that this facility was no longer there." (99186269)

    Close to the town centre and yet with a rural atmosphere

    No rack for luggage when packing or unpacking. No radio in the room

    "apart from the comment above we had a very enjoyable stay." (99453342)

    we have stayed at the swans nest before,we like it for its location

    the only problem we had was the room we were given was room 2 which was next to a doorway so we had people coming in all hours of the night and the door just kept banging shut witch meant we did not get much sleep.

    "1. I did fill in a paper comments questionnaire 2. The breakfast buffet element was great. 3. The cooked breakfast was the worst I ever had - inedible and incomplete. 4. Breakfast staff poor" (99774300)

    Everything we could have asked for, and had a very good night's sleep. Excellent breakfast.

    Our friend's room, opposite ours, was poorly sited overlooking the car park and by the exit door, but they seemed pleased overall with the value-for-money stay. We hope to come again!

  • 6/10 Anthony ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Dagenham , United Kingdom;GB  op  22 maart 2007

    "The location of the hotel was excellent, only 2 minutes walk into Stratford upon Avon, and within sight of the river. Room needed a complete make over to keep up with other hotels, as none of the furnishings matched, and the carpet looked tired. Air conditioning should be installed. The shower over the bath should be removable, to enable you to wash your hair without getting in the bath to do so. I think that the price was over the top, for the facilities and comfort offered. I would recommend this hotel to others, only because of the location." (99324449)

    Staff were excellent and very attentive. Breakfast was more than adequate and staff were very nice and food arrived within minutes.

    We stayed in room 36, which had the following problems: toilet roll holder hanging off wall; no hook on bathroom door; toilet seat was placed too near the handle, therefore would not stay up; no clock or radio; very basic television; no DVD/CD; standard lamp kept failing over, no electric extractor fan in batroom and there was no stand for suit case.

  • 8/10 Mick ( Jong paar) 

    van Leicester , United Kingdom;GB  op  8 maart 2007

    The hotel is pleasently and conveniently situated close to the town, theatre and river.

    Strangely for a 4* hotel, there was no restaurant. Bar prices were extortianate.

    "I use this hotel frequently, it is homely and excellent value for money." (99710615)

    Proximity to centre of Stratford and restaurants. Excellent breakfast, quality and choice.

    Noise from room upstairs - no fault of the hotel, but I would ask for an upstairs room next time.

    "This is the first hotel we've stayed that couldn't rustle up a bar snack at 9pm on a Saturday evening. I know that they were only doing breakfasts, but it doesn't take much to cut a sandwich!" (99543392)

    Clean, convenient location with friendly staff

    It's stuck in the 1980s and needs a revamp of the rooms and some new beds

    van Marlow , United Kingdom;GB  op  31 januari 2007

    "Slow service at breakfast - there was a notice to expect this as the hotel was full but if that's the case you should employ more staff. you are getting income from the extra guests to do this and prices go up at busy times so service levels should remain the same" (99937068)

    Location very convenient for town

    Pillows not very comfortable and bed sagged a bit in the middle

  • 7/10 Elaine ( Jong paar) 

    van Bridgnorth , United Kingdom;GB  op  28 januari 2007

    Nice and clean room.

    Two smashed windows taped up with cardboard and TV cabinet was on a slant so the door to the cabinet would not stay open.

  • 8/10 Richard ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Brecon , United Kingdom;GB  op  28 januari 2007

    Proximity to Royal Shakespearen Theatre. Spacious room with lovely view. Free parking: a major bonus in Stratford

    TV did not work. Very slow check-out: had to return later in the day to settle up.

    van Chazy , United States;US  op  9 januari 2007

    The room was very pleasant, the location was convenient and the breakfast was excellent.

    A language barrier prevented staff from being able to direct us to the local post office, but we were able to get that information from the TIC.

    van Birmingham , United Kingdom;GB  op  5 januari 2007

    "Although we did not have time to use the facilities at the Alveston Manor Hotel opposite that we could have done, we liked the idea of a cheaper hotel without the facilities, restaurant, etc that we didn't really need for just an overnight stay." (99182092)

    It was conveniently situated and good value-for-money

    "We've stayed at this hotel between Christmas and New Year for the last 3 years. It is in an ideal location (by the river and 300metres from Town Centre/Theatre). The rooms are functional and have been refurbished in the not too distant past They are good value at the discount rate paid - I wouldn't say this if I'd paid the rack rate." (99808131)

    Excellent breakfast.

    Clean hotel, good food and friendly staff. Excellent location just over the bridge from the festival theatre.

    The televison in the room was pathetic and the remote didn't work. There was little channel choice. Snacks are not served in the bar! Why not?

    location. convenient parking.ground floor.

    the room smelt damp as if it had been flood damaged perhaps. the shower fitting was very old and difficult to turn and the control appeared as if it was quite grimey.

    "We have stayed here before, so knew what to expect. Very attractive dining room for breakfast, with views of river and Theatre. Very quiet, although near to main road. Easy walking distance to RSC. Superb breakfast, served quickly; the experience of the hotel would be even better if they provided a pre-theatre supper. We hope to stay there again in January for our next theatre visit." (99282156)

    Proximity to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre

    Difficulty in finding a parking space; parking seems to be available to the public as well as to hotel guests

    Insufficient staff serving breakfast led to long waits and luke warm food.

    very comfortable bed

    First room offered was right on the main road and very noisy but the reception staff quickly ,and without any fuss,found me a quiet room at the back of the hotel .

    "I have seen negative reveiws of this hotel, and all I can say is I don't know why, I can't really think of a single negative point. It was clean, well located and comfortable and also vastly cheaper than anything else in Stratford. Compare to the Thistle where I have also stayed for much greater cost it was much much nicer. Yes the rear part As opposed to the front is a modern block, but that is the case with 90% of old hotels that have been extended - it didn't make it unpleasant to stay in. The gardens surrounding were particularly well looked after." (99438847)

    The hotel had an excellent location, the room was clean, well appointed and nicely decorated.

    The shower was very hot, but this is a minor very minor complaint.

    "My second stay in the hotel. The first time, I had a room overlooking the river, and hopefully expected the same this time, but instead had a room looking into the inside green area. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay here again when I come up to Stratford." (3305256355)

    clean room with evrything you needed.

    The bath towels had seen better days. A pity as it is the only crticism I have.

    "We attended a concert at the nearby 'Cox's Yard' so the location of the hotel was fantastic. The staff were friendly and relaxed. We were unlucky in that we didn't get a river view from our room. The food was brilliant and the choice at breakfast was impressive. I did think that when I booked our room that it was a bit pricey but accepted that this would be the case in the middle of Stratford - that said, the room and the food were tremendous and our stay was certainly worth every penny. Concert was a Good Night Though." (3305232030)

    "Overall this hotel was good quality for money. Perfectly acceptable for an overnight stay, however if you're looking for something a little special I'd look else where. The cost of a couple of drinks in the bar, cost over " (3305210136)

    It was close to the town centre, and was good value for an overnight stay.

    No Room Service, high bar prices, lack of co-ordination/and disorganised staff. Restuarant area for breakfast was not well set out, and staff did not pay attention to what was happening, including refilling breakfast table, clearing tables etc.
