Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location, right at the riverbank overlooking the famous RSC. The rooms are comfortable and include a free bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, but there may be some noise from the air conditioning unit above. The service is generally good with accommodating staff, but there were some issues at breakfast. Dining offers a view of the Avon and some interesting menu options. The facilities are satisfactory, and the price is reasonable for the overall experience.
I loved the hotel's location right next to the river, offering beautiful views and being within a short walk of the town center. The service was a bit inconsistent but had its shining moments, like the helpful restaurant staff and the willingness to accommodate requests. The dining experience was a mix of hits and misses, and the facilities overall were satisfactory.
The hotel is ideally located in the center of town, with a beautiful view of the famous RSC. The service is a mixed bag with some issues but good overall, and the dining experience could be more consistent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but some minor details need attention.
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as breakfast options were limited. On the bright side, the pool area was well-maintained and a great spot to relax. The pricing was reasonable, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included in the deal.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was well-equipped with many facilities and easy outside access, but the bathroom lacked proper attention. The service had its ups and downs with some staff members being unpleasant and intrusive, despite prior arrangements. The location was superb, overlooking the famous RSC and near the town center, but the dining experience was subpar with some tasteless and badly cooked items. The facilities were decent overall.

I must say, my stay at this hotel was a mixed bag of experiences. The rooms were lovely with fantastic views and a comfortable bed, but the wow factor bathroom definitely stole the show. While the service was friendly, it felt a bit chaotic during breakfast, although Kate, the general manager, made our anniversary truly special. The central location was superb, right by the riverbank overlooking the famous RSC, but the dining experience was hit or miss despite the great view of the Avon. The facilities were adequate with some room for improvement.
