Great location with very great employees and restaurant. The room, bed and shower were great. The facility is a little worn out, it’ll need an update for esthetics only. I would stay there again.

I have a very good stay at the Arden Hotel. It is in the perfect location across from the Royal Shakespeare Theater. The rooms are clean, spacious and we had a fantastic view. The food was very good. We were running late and called to change the time of our reservation. They were very accommodating. I definitely recommend the hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Loved our stay at The Arden. Dead opposite the RSC and just a couple of minutes from The Other Place where we went to ser MacBeth. Room was huge (superior room), great air con, a great and powerful shower and with nice tea, coffee and snacks. Only one poor thing was the breakfast. We paid 20 pounds each for a full english. My scrambled egg was sat in a pool of uncooked egg and the sausage was pretty tasteless. Recommend walking down the road to visit plenty of good cafes serving breakfast for half the price.

The Arden held the charm of my 10-day trip. It is located across the street from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I stayed in a Deluxe room with an incredible bathroom! It had a huge tub and dual rain-showers. It appeared newly renovated. Breakfast was both a la carte and buffet. Dinner was a nice atmosphere, inside and outside. I think the most delight was created by the staff, specifically the hotel manager Sai who was so kind and attentive.

Wonderful location directly across the road from The Globe theatre. Dissapointed by the discretionary surcharge automatically applied on check out. This does seem to be becoming the norm in the UK.
