The hotel was great, suite clean, very quiet. Staff were helpful. House keeping was shoddy at best. Having to ask for basic things like loo roll and coffee.

Perfect theatre stay

Two night stay to attend the RSC Theatre, which is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Excellent location to visit the town centre and to enjoy the river. Very helpful, friendly and attentive staff who work long hours. The pub is a little shabby in places, but overall very good. We will be returning (when I’ve saved enough Tesco points!)

Convenient for visiting Stratford at a good price

It’s a good basic hotel in a great location. I had asked for a quiet room but was on the main drag from reception to car park. Room is OK but you have to put the kettle on the floor - no area to make tea. Other than that, staff were very helpful and room was clean.

Perfect for comfortable stay close to town

Decent hotel with everyrging you need for a comfortable one night stay near the town centre. Although very close to town, it was very quiet and I slept well. Big room and spacious shower.

Swans Nest Stratford on Avon

Really well located for the RSC theatres and Stratford centre. However, a little quieter as the hotel is located on the other side of the Avon. We like the bistro and pub/bar attached to the hotel. Staff are all very helpful and friendly. It is our preferred hotel in Stratford on Avon.

We loved the Swans Nest hotel. It's very walkable to everything, yet being just slightly away from the immediate town centre made it very quiet.

An excellent team of staff. Nothing too much trouble and they all seemed to be happy in their work. It really does make a difference. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The hotel could do with a lift but because it is a listed building that’s not possible. Would recommend the hotel and we will visit again.

Swans Nest Hotel

The Swan’s Nest is our preferred choice hotel in Stratford on Avon. We visit for the theatre 8-10 times per year so we have a broad, year-round experience of this hotel. Great facilities with the Bear Pub and Bistro Pierre. Parking is easy and one of the cheapest in town.

The beds and feather pillows were amazingly soft and comfortable. The room had AC which was a huge plus because it had been so hot and hard to sleep at other hotels. The best sleep we’ve had on our trip so far. Loved the quaint town.
