We chose the Swan's nest because of its location and value for money-also the on site parking. We had a clean and quiet room in the extended part of the hotel. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice, fresh fruit etc. The staff were all friendly. It is a perfect location for a couple of days walking around the... More

This hotel just confirms how flaky the star rating system for hotels is. I agree with BettyBB29. Do not even contemplate staying here without an offer (we had £79b&b + parking), and even then check out the premier inn if you want this price bracket. Perhaps if you pay more you get a better room - if so, this should... More

The hotel is ideally located - especially for the RSC theatre. The staff are pleasant and helpful - bedrooms are simply furnished but very comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfast with lots of choice - something for everyone. In the evening we used the on site Bear Pub - this had a good selection of wine and beers and a good... More

I first visited the Swans Nest as a small child, and have been back from time to time since. As an establishment it has had its ups and downs over the years, but I have always loved the riverside situation and the slightly old fashioned feeling that it has, despite the large modern bedroom extension. This time our experience was... More

This was our second visit to the Swan's Nest hotel which is located by the riverside. Nice room overlooking the river - simply furnished but very comfortable. Stratford is such a lovely place with so much to do and see and this hotel is perfectly located with everything just a short walk away. Staff are pleasant and helpful. A couple... More

The hotel is ideally located near centre of town and other attractions such as Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace which we enjoyed. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and although the email I sent asking for flowers in the room was missed, the management certainly made up for this error with complimentary flowers, champagne and chocolate. All staff were very... More

We spent 4 nights at the Swan's Nest in October 2011. Our pre-booked room was one of the few rooms of the hotel that have windows towards a major street. So we asked for another room and were immediately given one by the friendly and competent receptionist Robert. He happens to speak five languages, among them German. Our new room... More

Oct 11th to 13th 2 nights stay with dinner on first night. Short walk to the river and 10 minute stroll to RSC. Our room gave us a ( restricted) view of the river and was clean and comfortable and perfect for our 2 night stay. Food .. breakfast and dinner .. in Le Bistrot Pierre was most enjoyable. No... More

A wonderful location, right on the river with the RSC just a short walk. A delicious breakfast and evening meal. We stayed 2 nights in august in an executive suite but was disappointed with the tired looking décor, the out look over the car park and a/c units and the average room contents. However everything was clean and tidy and... More
