I have to stay in Stratford several times a year due to business appointments and I use the Thistle Hotel as an overspill when The Legacy Falcon Hotel is fully booked (or charging silly high-season prices.) The Thistle is good value for money all year round and rooms are spacious (if a little dated). It's also very handily placed for... more

I stayed at the Thistle Hotel while in Stratford-upon-Avon for a conference. The hotel is just a short walk from the town centre and literally next door to the RSC theatre. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Although it's not a modern hotel it's clean, convenient with a great selection for all at breakfast. more

For the price we paid, this hotel was excellent, especially as it included breakfast! We just needed a room for the night as we were going to see the RSC production of Hamlet, and the hotel's location was excellent for the theatre, being literally about a minute's walk if that. Yes it was a little old-fashioned but then we were... more

We stayed at The Thistle on 28/06/08 having booked it on Laterooms. The basic room price was £60 for on night for two adults with breakfast. We upgraded that to a 'Superior Room' for an extra £20 (room number 18) Having read some of the reviews our expectations weren't very high but we were pleasantly suprised when we saw our... more

This hotel is in a great location for visiting the theatre but our bedroom was old fashioned , cluttered and shabby . The evening meal was very poor, breakfast was better but the dining room along with the rest of the hotel is in need of some urgent refurbishment . I would not recommend this hotel. more

Our third stay at this hotel - booked an executive room (room 22 high up at the back, a lot of stairs but a large room and quiet which we like). Room was large - bathroom okay (small bath - okay for one but a squeeze for two - good shower). Car park was tight but at £4.00 a day... more

I was advised on booking that the hotel would be able to cater for my coeliac diease (gluten allergy). Unfortunately this was far from the case. We arrived in the resturant for breakfast at 9.30am on Saturday after an overnight stay in a room with a very noisy radiator and a cracked sink. There were no clean tables available, the... more

The Arden hotel is one of the most expensive hotels in Stratford-upon-avon, trading on the fact that it is right opposite the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. However, the actual hotel does not justify the price. Inside it is all a bit faded. For instance, the walpaper in my room was coming off, it has been sometime since the woodwork was painted... more

Made a booking 10 days in advance with expedia, room was confirmed by Hotel the following day and fully paid for. However, on the day we were due to arrive my husband rang the hotel to upgrade our room as it was a special occasion. They said we could not upgrade as they were fully booked and that they were... more

In general the Hotel is in a nice location, although not a particularly inspiring building compared to the many others just a short walk away. I guess arriving on Christmas day and staying for just one night was always going to be tough on the Hotel in terms of meeting our expectations, they were bound to be short on staff... more
