Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel set up and especially the reception staff who were very helpful.
They ran out of certain beers I prefer.
Excellent location, great staff and ambience. Lovely building.
Nothing.
Location, staff were very friendly and helpful
Up graded our room, but the bathroom wasn't clean with long black hair at the back of the sink, and the upgraded room was very noisy through the night. Lovely hotel, but stay in the rooms out the back
Beautiful decor and location perfect
Staff are super nice and the the place is very clean
Car park is very expensive, and the room was to hot to sleep with the AC not working and the windows sealed shut
Beautifully decorated and a real homely feel
Wonderful venue, great staff, food and drink excellent
Nothing, we loved it
La gentillesse du personnel
Rien de particulier
O hotel está muito bem localizado, mesmo no centro. Está muito bem decorado e o quarto era óptimo. O pessoal foi todo extremamente amável e resolvendo imediatamente qualquer problema. Quero deixar um elogio grande à senhora da recepção sempre que nós colocávamos qualquer questão.
Nada a assinalar
Central, with excellent dinner
Well kept, old style and superbly renovated
Located in the heart of town this historical building and restaurant is a lovely, cozy find. Can't praise the staff enough. We arrived later than expected and the staff in both the front and back of house in the restaurant were more than accommodating. But, it's the staff that brings this place to life.
obviously location was very good.
Breakfast arrangements. poor temperature of the coffee added with the cold milk made it a very an annoying issue. Inadequate serving spoons for cereal. Poor placing of toasters. signage for breakfast ingredients.
Very good staff,very helpful. Good food Nice location We will recommend it to friends.
It was all good
Reception staff were lovely and friendly, put us in the most amazing room for our anniversary and left a card and brownie which was really generous and thoughtful. We went for food at the restaurant at night and for the free breakfast which was really tasty! Would highly recommend, thank you for a wonderful stay.
No faults
Loved the whole stay, car parking straightforward, Lucy on reception was v friendly when we first checked in and all the other ladies on reception were so bright and friendly everytime we passed through the reception area. Our room was great, spacious and warm, lovely big bathroom w choice of roll top bath or seperate walk in shower. The welcome brownies were a lovely suprise. Breakfast was amongst the best we've had, fab continental choice and the cooked options spoilt us. The hotel and its own historical features made our visit for our wedding anniversary v special and one that we will remember.
Excellent range of drink choices on at the bar, but it would have been nice to have at least 1 non alcoholic beer available on draught rather than all bottles or cans.
Both were excellent
The room was slightly smaller than we expected
restaurant and lounge are great, staff is great.
Horrible cheap mattresses, no AC to speak of, no fan in the bathroom, looks like they just paint over mold in the bathroom, hallways are not kept cool, had a fridge but set so that nothing is really cold. super duper overpriced. would not recommend
Fabulous rooms. Extremely good breakfast. Well trained and attentive staff.
Nothing
Perfect overnight stay at The White Swan. Beautiful building in a great location. The best breakfast included!
Location between the train station and the RSC is ideal.
Some of the day time staff could work on attitude issues. If you’re having a bad day, leave it at home or stay home. This is an exception, however, the lion’s share of employees go all out for their guests.
Central location, historic and rooms were clean. Food and service were excellent and staff were friendly too.
N/A
Gorgeous hotel with beautiful interiors. We had to check out at 6am and they offered us breakfast to go which was waiting for us at reception in the morning, which was so thoughtful.
The room had all the features we needed: air conditioning, a modern bath, TV. The property was old and interesting but felt very modern and up to date.
Property is old and historic. Has a good restaurant and staff was very friendly and helpful
Service was excellent and staff very professional and very nice.
The building was beautiful and decorated to a excellent standard keeping in with its original design
Bathroom could do with a little tidying in places but didn’t need much. Such as bath panel and other small areas. But still a very clean and nice bathroom. Food was ok but expected better but breakfast was excellent.
Lucy, the receptionist.
The air conditioner did not work in our room and their response was that we could leave and they would refund the room. But it was at that point too late to find another room. They did not offer to comp the room until I basically let them know that would be the right thing to do. They finally did it, the manager never apologized never once came to see the room to see how hot it was. I got the impression that the manager could really care less about our situation. My son was dealing with a foot injury and the whole thought of packing everything up and moving to another hotel was ridiculous. so, we spent the night in a very hot room. I understand that things happen, but usually management is a lot more professional. I did not get that feeling in this particular case.
Great atmosphere, great service , stunning history with the hotel , rooms excellent and breakfast superb
Nothing
Grand room lovely, although we had stayed in nicer rooms at the Swan. Breakfast, as always, was delicious.
N/a
Staff were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast room was fine and plenty of choice.
The room wasn’t cleaned on the second day of our stay. Also the fact that the wrong ket was allocated to someone else and therefore had access to our room.
Fantastic & friendly reception staff! Great breakfast options too.
Great central location with amazing staff. We had an issue with our room which was sorted very efficiently. Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Could not ask for more.
Nothing - all good.
Staff were absolutely fantastic. Nothing too much trouble
All very well done
I would recommend that the SmartTV be connected to WiFi so that guests can view streaming content
ロケーションがよくスタッフも親切で丁寧だった
エレベーターが怖かた。
Très bon rapport qualité prix. Excellent petit déjeuner. Emplacement idéal pour visiter
Bruit sur la terrasse en dessous de la chambre (jusqu'a 23 h). Pas de parking et donc obligé de prendre un parking payant.
Breakfast was very good indeed. The location was excellent.
Only one chair in the room. Not enough wardrobe space.
Historic and modern rooms. Fabulous location and restaurant. Easy parking.
The property is historical and sympathetically decorated. It is centrally located and a good base from which to explore Stratford Upon Avon.
N/A
The breakfast choices were good. The staff on reception were lovely.
The bathroom could have been cleaner but was adequate. The room was quite 'cosy' with no draws or shelves to put clothes. The shower seal needs attention as water escapes.
The White Swan will definitely be my hotel of choice next time I’m in Stratford. It’s the perfect experience. The front of the hotel is a timbered building dating back to 1450. The back is modern, beautifully appointed rooms. My room was in the front and I couldn’t have asked for more. The rooms are air conditioned which was a good thing on the very hot days we were visiting. The staff were helpful and very pleasant. The pub/restaurant was also top notch. Can’t wait to come back!
The only unpleasant thing about our visit was it was hot and the ground floor isn’t air conditioned. It’s an ancient building so that’s to be expected. The rooms are air conditioned which helped a lot.
The cosy double was a great room - and had everything we needed for an overnight stay
Great historical hotel. We were lucky to get upgraded to the "haunted" room 😁 which we absolutely loved. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was pretty good and location was perfect. We will probably return.
The AC was a bit loud. My partner had to wear som ear plugs. Luckyly there was a pair already in the room. Bit expensive overall, but worth it.
Man wohnt in einem historischen Haus.
Unser Zimmer hatte ein Fenster, das nicht zu öffnen war. Es war heiß und die mobile Klimaanlage kühlte das Zimmer nicht wirklich ab. Da wir in dem Raum ohne zu öffnendes Fenster übernachten mussten, fühlten wir uns wie in einer Gefängniszelle.
Fantastic location in the centre of Stratford full of ancient history and character. Beautifully furnished in keeping with its history yet still modern facilities.
Tutto, arredamento ristorante, camera, cibo, personale...tutto perfetto
Traditional building, well maintained and cosy.
Toilets near bar were unventilated and untidy.

Il luogo magico, la vicinanza ai luoghi di interesse e una colazione a dir poco fantasmagorica.
Location and historical significance
Restaurant is very poor- menu and preparation need attention
I’ve stayed here many times but this was the first time in the original medieval part of the hotel. The room was very cosy, well decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I ordered room service and the food was delicious.
There was no double glazing and the room was directly above an outdoor drinking area which was very noisy until 11pm. Also the breakfast menu has changed since I last stayed and I preferred the old one.
Lovely place to stay for a short visit in Stratford. The hotel room was very comfy and clean plus cool on these hot Summer nights. Check in was quick and simple and Lucy on reception gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant to try, it was fab - thanks Lucy. Breakfast was lovely and it rounded off a great stay. For sure we will be back!
The property was delightful, very authentic and lots of areas to relax in. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable.
Nothing we didn’t like!
Great venue, full of history and kept immactulaly clean
For price the quality and services didnt match expectations
It was old and very comfortable
Air con could have been better
Excellent breakfast. Lots of choice. Well presented. Friendly staff.
Εξαιρετική τοποθεσία. Ατμόσφαιρα άλλης εποχής. Θαυμάσια η αίθουσα πρωινού και η διακόσμηση εποχής Σαίξπηρ στα δωμάτια.
Ολα ήταν τέλεια.
Great location, staff & rooms. Nice old world charm to the hotel. Get the French Toast for breakfast !!
Location is good and pub and bedrooms attractive. Nice outside space.
It is expensive for bed and breakfast although not more so than other places in Stratford.
The room was very clean and comfortable. Location is awesome, close to the station and to all the touristy spots in Stratford upon Avon. Bed was comfy and breakfast was great too! Great spot to stay if you're staying overnight in town.
מקום מושלם! לינה באווירה כפרית, עתיקה, אותנטית וסופר יוקרתית. אוכל מצוין במסעדה. ארוחת בוקר מדהימה המוגשת על פי דרישה. צוות שירותי ביותר. היינו אסירי תודה על המזל הגדול שנפל בחלקנו. מושלם, מושלם, מושלם
אין מה לא לאהוב
Good location ..friendly staff ..had a good night's sleep ...could of dine with a lick of paint but still it was clean ..enjoyed my little stay ..and will book hotel again ..
Needed a touch of paint
Posizione perfetta. Colazione inclusa abbondante e molto buona.
Convenient! In center of town!😃
Parking at first was a chore but our friendly receptionist directed us to a parking garage across the street- ALL WAS PERFECT😌
We stayed in the historic, older part of the hotel, which was great. Especially happy that they figured out how to put air conditioning in a historic building! Location is very good, very close to the Shakespeare Birthplace. We were very impressed with the included breakfast-- buffet for some items and then you also order a hot item from the menu. The restaurant atmosphere (historic character) is great. Friendly staff. I suppose because it's a historic building, once we took the elevator to the upper floor there were still a couple steps up and down as we walked along the corridor to our room, but this was not a problem.
Location - character, staff and a great breakfast.

We stayed in the hotel and were very disappointed by very noisy building works on the first floor. Builders were working above our room and there was scaffolding and builders outside of our windows. We felt imprisoned and were unable to relax in our room in the afternoon after a day out in the sun. Avoid this hotel until building work is completed.
Stayed here on the 27 July for wife’s birthday it’s about are 15th time at this hotel and from booking in to checkout absolutely fantastic reception staff are so helpful and friendly food and drink amazing they put a birthday card and chocolate brownies in the room for when we got there and brought us a bottle off prosecco in ice bucket 2 glasses such a lovely touch carnt thank the swan enough be back very soon
Very comfortable rooms, good food and friendly helpful staff. Good position in town centre too.
All good
Breakfast was OK but not as good as expected. Bits of the pastries and yoghurt were not kept stocked up. The table service was good.
The cooked breakfast wasn't the best. Fried eggs not nicely presented and a bit overcooked. Bacon sometimes very crisp, sometimes not cooked enough. Sausages well cooked but didn't like the taste.
Great location staff friendly and helpful.
Amazing stay at the The White Swan. Room was lovely and spotless. All the staff were so friendly and breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely return for another stay.
מיקום הכי מרכזי שאפשר, ניתן ללכת ברגל לכל מקום. צוות אדיב, מקום אוטנטי מלא באוירה.
ארוחת הבוקר בינונית, קפה קפוצינו בתשלום נפרד.
The hottest hotel rooms in the world. The room temperature is controlled centrally and is set very high despite the mid summer heatwave. The temperature panel in your room is only for decoration - fyi. Awful nights sleep.
Exceeded expectations and lovely character. Food was really good
N/a
It was very atmospheric with its whole long history on show. It’s a fabulous location, at the centre of Stratford and all its historical sites
The A/C could have been better in the room. It hardly cooled at all
We loved the location and atmosphere with dedication to white swans and Shakespeare! Darcy at the front desk was especially friendly and welcoming!
The receptionist, on our first evening, was amazing. She went above and beyond what was expected.
I had contacted the hotel regarding my strict diet in advance. The dining room team had no prior knowledge and so my meal was sadly lacking. The fish I was presented with on the second night was overcooked and unapertising. I was left feeling hungry.
Beautiful historic hotel

Excellent location and wonderful period features.
Car parking was not straight forward.
Brilliantly situated and for a history buff- lots to enjoy.
Nothing it was great.
The bed and mattress was deep and super comfy and gave me the best night's sleep in years. The standalone bath was luxuriously deep. The staff were very professional and helpful, as well as friendly.

Ideal, cosy room with lovely air con which worked well on a horribly hot day. The room was perfectly, the bed was large and comfortable and the Molton Brown products were an unexpected surprise.
No car park may be an issue for some but the one we used was pretty much in the hotel garden and, for us, was reasonably priced.
Reception staff were amazing, super friendly, the room was well appointed with everything you need. Breakfast was very nice with attentive staff in a superb environment.
Everything was great.
