I visited the Arden with my partner for our trip to Stratford, and I can honestly say this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in across, even across the globe. The service was fantastic, and the rooms where immaculate and so beautifully presented and the decor was very in style. We had dinner in the hotel and... More

I spent about five hours on-line last week, trying to find a suitable place to stay just one night in Stratford, and most of them required a two-night booking unless I wanted to take my chance about a day or two before the weekend I was going. Anyway, one of the B&B's kindly recommended I try the Arden because, they... More

We had tickets for King John at The Swan and we chose to have a pre theatre meal. This hotel is directly opposite the RSC, so we literally finished our meal and crossed the pedestrianised road into the theatre. One of the best rooms we've been in and one of the widest king bed's we've ever encountered. Nice and quiet,... More

The Arden was a delightful place, much better than we had anticipated. The room (azalea...they are all named after plants) was great with a huge bathroom, great bed and just a lovely ambience. The breakfasts were great, afternoon tea excellent and the location is unsurpassed, being directly behind the theatre. Despite constant rain, we had a wonderfulc stay and highly... More

Over the weekend of the 11th - 13th May 2012 I took a group of 40 to the hotel on behalf of the Worshipful Company of Builders Merchants. The whole experience was superb and nothing wa too much trouble for the events organiser, Charlie Bloxham. The rooms were excellent, the food was spendid and the staff went out of their... More

Wonderful hotel helpful friendly staff, fantastic food. Car park difficult to find but I asked at Hotel and staff member stood outside in the rain to guide us in. Luggage carried to room. Room lovely, food amazing, breakfast wonderful with plenty of choice, nothing too much trouble for the staff. Perfect location for shopping, walking and sight seeing. Nothing to... More

Great location, friendly staff and reception team, loads of parking space and well appointed rooms. You could not get a better location, across road from RSC and riverside. My partner and I were there with my in-laws for a short break and opted for the Gourmet DBB package. My partner and I got an upgrade from "Deluxe" to "Master" which... More

Stayed in a superior double room on a busy weekend when a wedding party was well underway. The service throughout the hotel was first class without too much formality. The Arden truly is opposite the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the views across Waterside are fantastic. Our room was well equipped and stylish. We chose the pre-theatre meal and I wish... More

What a perfect location. Straight outside of our window we could see the Royal Shakespeare. Rooms are well looked after and staff very attentive. Would recommend for a special occasion, or if you don't get away that often. More
