I booked this hotel in the middle of Stratford for quick getaway with my boyfriend. Having paid over £200 for a 2 ngiht stay I was honestly pretty gobsmacked and very disappointed at the room I was given. It must have been the smallest room in the hotel over looking the back carpark. You had to squeeze round the bed... More

The booking system, once accessed, was very helpful and all our preferences were met. Being partially disabled, we were given an allocated car space with our name for the duration.

Such a shame that this hotel has a perfect location, when the standard of rooms just doesn't live up to the rest. The guest areas are very inviting, with open fires and huge sofas in the bar area.

We went to the RSC so stayed for one night at the Mercure. The room was spacious and quiet, and good value. Not perfectly clean (toothpaste in the sink and on the taps) but that doesn't bother us too much. The odd thing was that the reception never answered the phone, despite us trying again and again over the 24... More

Plenty of space. My parents also stayed over. Their room was equally as nice but slightly smaller with a newer bathroom. Both rooms... More

Have stayed at the Shakespeare lots of times for various reasons and usually find it makes me smile a lot. And there was still good things this time, it's just that I didn't feel as "looked after" as before. Reception was great - efficient, pleasant and helpful. I was helped with my bag without any fuss and I stayed in... More
