Hotel Du Vin Stratford-upon-Avon

Comfortable hotel, centrally positioned. Very modern decor, rooms tending to be dark. Not my personal taste, but spotless. Breakfast excellent, everything you could ask for. Reception staff friendly, as was all the staff we encountered. The big downside for this hotel is the car parking, about 12 spaces costing 20 quid, then it's over to the multi storey. Well positioned in central Stratford.

We stayed one night at Hotel Du Vin in Stratford on a Saturday in January. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. The hotel looks good, with a bit of a stylish and upmarket feel—probably one of the best choices in the area. The only real issue was parking. The hotel is connected to a public car park that was really busy, so we used the 15-minute unloading space outside the hotel for our luggage. We then parked at the NCP across the road. It was a bit tight but worked fine, costing around £13 for the night. It would be better if the hotel had an agreement with the closer car park for guests. Our room, which included breakfast for £167.40, was clean and a good size. The bathroom was nice too. The TV wasn’t positioned well for watching in bed, but it didn’t bother us much. Our view was of the car park, so not great. The room was quiet overall, though we could hear some footsteps and banging from next door. The bed was very comfy, and the room felt fresh and well-ventilated. Breakfast was excellent—the food was great quality, and the waiter was friendly and very attentive. It’s definitely worth including breakfast in your stay. All in all, it’s great choice if you're visiting the area. The parking and view could be better, but we’d happily stay again.

We stayed for 3 nights we our dog and we also had a dinner at the restaurant. Great hotel in the town centre. Superior standards of the rooms and of the facilities. The coffee corner had also decaf, tea, biscuits and chocolates. Apart for the coffee machine and kettle. Iron/board, hairdryer, safe box and fridge. A big mirror in the toilet would have been appreciated. Something to say about the cleaning service as we had to ask for the second towel set (On the second day the double was replaced with a single set) and on the breakfast. They were overly pushing with the order for the kitchen although we arrived at the beginning of the service. We ended up with dirty plates (they didn’t removed them until the end) when the food arrived and we were still enjoying our croissant and yogurt. That was definitely annoying. Big thanks to the room ladies for the immediate response to our requests. The set menu at the restaurant is definitely too much in terms of portions and wine glasses.
