A bit expensive considering you have to pay extra for breakfast and parking which added another £78 to our 2 night stay. The room was clean and comfortable but a little tired and could benefit from a coat of paint. And some new arm chairs. The breakfast was generally good but warm rather than hot. Overall we enjoyed our stay but felt itvwas somewhat expensive given the quality of the hotel. ##### NIGEL Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Oct 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stunning old building & comfy stay Really enjoyed our little overnighter here. Absolutely stunning building. Nice size room with high ceiling in gorgeous Tudor style. Bed comfy nice bedding. Read some bad reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Yes the carpet is a little old and the chair by the window but it’s all part of the charm. Large modern bathroom. Only negative was a little dust on the windowsills nothing to ruin a lovely comfy night sleep and lovely staff at check in too ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80CFAC23C44A2E21D9611D099B6B50471D8403341698239104447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A0CE8C1604EA83037F92057343F91573B31093051698239101895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miss Emma Oct 15, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn't stay again The location is good but the hotel is very shabby and dirty. Our hotel room had black mould and the bath taps weren't working properly. We also didn't have any heating and there were no car parking spaces. ##### Miss Emma Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lee Mar 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort Lovely hotel but at £193 was joined to another room with a thin antique door . Lovely but thin could hear all conversations,snoring toilet breaks so they would hear use . Parking extra £15 . Breakfast was lovely can’t fault shame it is not within price another £12 each ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Diana Nov 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved staying at this hotel. The history, the ambiance, the staff. Everyone was very pleasant. Hotel is right in town, walking distance to most things Shakespeare. It’s a very old hotel with lots of charm. Not a modern cookie cutter place. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that our toilet didn’t ever flush. We got it to flush once and housekeeping got it to flush once. Would definitely return and/or recommend though. ##### Diana ### 10/10 Excellent #### roy Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Mercure in Stratford is an old building.This is not a 5 star resort.I say this as a positive statement.The world needs both.I love the vintage nature of The Mercure.It's a a perfect reprasentative of Stratford as a whole-English,old, Beautiful and magical.I love the old beams,not a single right angle to be found.Wonderful sitting spaces,and a short walk to the beautiful park with canals. ##### roy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not a right angle in sight!! The Shakespeare is old, very old, and as such the walls and floors are a bit wibbly wobbly without a right angle anywhere in the building. It is full of character so if you are expecting modern clean lines, don't bother with this place. But once you accept the limitations that character brings, what you have with this hotel is a comfortable well equipped hotel in a brilliant position to explore the joys of Stratford. I loved the place and will happily return ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard May 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### No air con Really nice place but the air con did not work- having told them 3 times we came back to our windows wide open and a fan ! ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
