We are regulars at this hotel. Room spacious and bed comfortable. Shower was over bath and the shower screen leaked creating a wet floor. Bed sheet was marked even though it had been laundered. Staff apologised but because I had pre paid through Expedia they could only compensate by removing parking charge.

A nice hotel with on site parking, have stayed here many times. Within easy walk of town centre. Pub and separate restaurant on site. Rooms in the newer part at the back are very quiet. Great staff.

Great location for central Stratford-upon-Avon - close to everything. Deluxe rooms are large, with a seating area so worth booking one of those if you like some extra space. Enjoyed food and drink in The Bear pub which is within the Swan's Nest building, as is the Bistrot Pierre. Handy to have these as onsite options service was friendly and well-organised. Swan's Nest is a traditional hotel in some ways eg decor but in a good way - it means there are trained staff always on hand if needed, room tidied/beds made every day, tea/coffee in the room biscuits...

I was fined for parking in the hotel car park even though I thought I or reception had registered my car on arrival. I was fined £60 after appealing and providing clear evidence that I was a guest at the hotel. So this ended up being a very expensive overnight stay. If you stay here you must get some evidence that you have registered your car for the car park. This hotel is well situated for Stratford but the state of the rooms and decor was disappointing given the cost.

We come to the Swan's Nest most years and have always been delighted with our stay. This year the visit was marred by our experience on the last night. We were asked to leave the restaurant and go to the Bear at about 10.35 the Bear asked us to move on to the Hotel Foyer at 11.00 where we were subjected to a very unpleasant man taking pictured of us and when we objected getting very confrontational. The hotel staff managed to stop an actual affray and called the Police who took a statement the next day. It turned out that the Police had been called to the same man the previous night so surely he should not have been there. I was also unhappy the man from the hotel asked when it was all over did we still want the Police to come and went away saying that it was on us!!!

Ideal venue for visiting stratford and great location for theatre going or taking a walk along the riverside. Reception staff were excellent and very helpful. Room contained everything needed and was clean and comfortable. Restaurant provided everything from small snacks to extensive dinner menu at decent prices. Will definitely return.
