The Arden Hotel & Leisure Club, Boardroom

We didn't stay but we visited for an afternoon tea, The service was excellent throughout, the food lovely and the facilities clean and well kept. We couldn't have asked for more

This was the first time we had stayed at The Arden although we have stayed in Stratford many times. We had a lovely stay and were very impressed with all aspects of the hotel and staff. Now, if you are looking for new, soundproof, box like modern rooms that are perfect in every detail this may not be the hotel for you. If you would like to stay somewhere with character, personality and some traditional class then I would definitely recommend. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a superking bed and seating area. The bathroom was large with separate walk in shower and free-standing bath. We dined at the restaurant and had breakfast. I have reviewed food in more detail in other parts of my review, but in short the food was excellent. What I would really like to stress is the level of service and welcome we received from all the staff at The Arden. There are many reviews written via the internet and quite often people are fast to complain but slower to compliment. I believe in credit where credit is due and we had a lovely stay at this hotel, made even better by the excellent team of staff who work there.

We booked into the Arden on the off chance they had a room, from the moment we walked in all the staff were amazing, we were shown our room which was immaculate and warm, we booked in for dinner bed and breakfast which was very reasonably priced, our evening meal was perfectly cooked, my pigeon starter was delicious, my plate at the end looked like it didn't need washing, I'd licked it clean, my duck main course was also perfectly cooked and seasoned, there was no salt and pepper pots on our table which tells me the chefs no what they are doing...I can't praise this hotel enough and the staff that work here too..thanks for duch a great (short) stay...we will be back.
